![[talk] 10 facts and tricks of the Blofeld](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/sbWhrzPj2Wc/mqdefault.jpg)
2:30 is pure eargasm
I agree. Any blofeld owners here who know what the preset is called?
Agreppo. You can read it on the screen. It's a default preset.
A beefy beauty with all the gritty special something. It's an exceptional great synthesizer.
Aggreppo is one of the best sounds I have ever heard.
Truly! Very raw and menacing.
Still the best-feeling keybed I own.
Totally agree.
It’s great! The Moog Grandmother is nice as well.
And it has key-off velocity, which is a quite rare feature!
Excellent demonstration, it simply bloes me away 😋
blows me away synth videos from people can barely press a chord. it is friggin awful
5:12 HELL YEAH!! That is the mad sequencing and sound I am looking for!
I've had my Blofeld for more than one year now, and I know I've only scratched the surface of the sounds it can make. It is possible to get lost for hours! Get's its fair share of criticism, and indeed it is not perfect, but those are minor niggles given its sound design capabilities. Keyboard version has a superb keyboard.
Love mine as well! It’s my Swiss army synth. Have you had any issues syncing the arp to midi clock?
@@HotStrange *is this syncing bug finally fixed now? I'm considering buying one, but only if this is fixed!*
3:28: FANTASTIC bells!
It would seem like the only missing feature (a vocoder) may not even be worth quibbing about.
2:30 is serious business
The drive on this thing is epic.
was immediately thinking that too. gonna have to search out that performance patch
Wonder what preset is it
Its d 69
You weren’t kidding
i am a huge waldorf fan..had micro q,blofeld and now microwave xt and pulse 2...best synths !!!
I'm buying one of these next week
I just saw one of these on the shelf today at Music Go Round...now i can hear what its capable of.
I actually prefer demonstration videos like this one. Frankly, whenever someone starts doing jazzy, bluesy, R&B nonsense, noodling around like some show-off it just ruins it for me. Let us just hear the sounds without the distraction of music I would never listen to in the first place.
Also, nothing is worse than a demo video that, come to find out, has additional outside effects through which the demonstrated instrument has been run. So that's another good feature of this video.
This synth is a godlike....
I sold my Blofeld because despite several updates that claimed to have fixed that issue midi clock sync never worked. The other thing was that its sound would never really fit well in the mix with my other synthesizers so it kept collecting dust.
Roland jp 8000 or Waldorf blofeld???
For trance...?
wow for the longest time i was debating getting an analogue synth as a main synth. the rev 2 and the matriarch seemed like good options but for a fraction of the price i belive the blofeld covers a far wider range of sonic territory. and with the money i saved i could get something like arturia v collection to cover the analogue sound territory.
A digital synth will almost always cover a much wider sonic territory than analogue. Waldorf synths offer a special sound character that I am a fan of.
Sounds wild
The freaking arp at 6:15, how?! So sick!!!
That oad in 1:35 wow... exactly what i wanted...
I love this one.. I can't decide if I should get this or the roland system 1..
This. By far.
Constantly wondering if I should trade my Ultranova for one of these...
am i crazy to be thinking of selling my nord lead 3 in favour of this? (i already own a blofeld module.) the nord interface is amazing, as are the real-time-controller-based modulation possibilities, but not sure if that's enough. i don't hate the nord sound, but i much prefer the sound of the blofeld. i could keep both, but i don't like having too much overlap in synths and the money could go towards something else (like an analogue or a hybrid).
Keep the Blofeld Module and buy the Sledge 2.0. You can send midi CCs from the Blofeld to it to unlock hidden parameters.
I just don't understand why hardly anyone uses the possibility to control it with external controllers, I always have 3 pedals and 2 sliders working next to the two PW and MW, so the Blofeld really takes off when playing live!
If it's just laziness, it costs at least a few minutes more to program them.
The Blofeld has no reset switch,
if you operate it with external controllers, you always have reset,
if you are driving at the Blofeld, it will be difficult to find the original sound again.
1:36 I want a synth that plays only that sound !
Not sure anything in this price range comes close to it (it's a very "Virus" sound). Maybe one of the Rolands can get near, but I don't think it will replicate that amount of organic movement. Blofeld breathes like it's alive. And sometimes annoyed.. 👀
Waldorf xtk
Thanks for the video
Che Preset e' quello al time 2:00???? ho il Blofeld ma non trovo questo meraviglioso Suono.
I think at this point I'm torn between this, the studiologic sledge 2.0 black, and the Korg minilogue XD for sitting on top of my Hammond m111 next to the Korg wavestate that I'm DEFINITELY getting.
Hello.🤛🤟 could you tell me that desktop unit sounds the same as keyboard version? Thanks
What is the difference between desktop and keyboard version?
Habe mir heute zum drittem mal ein blofeld gekauft,denke,der wird bleiben bis tod uns scheidet...
what is virtual analog?? is it virtual or analog?? please someone have a clear answer!
mateoflol in the most part it is a wavetable synth. The typical analog waveforms are not generated, but stored (e.g Saw, square, triangle ...). There are some calculated as well. The later would be a virtual analog, as it generates the analog waveforms on the fly. However the blofeld also has a lot of other waveforms, that then can be process in the same ways as in a subtractive synth. It is much more versatile than a analog synth, in that way and also has much more capabilities in modulating the waveforms.
As i wrote in the beginning, for me it is not a virtual analog, as it mostly plays stored sample as the waveforms and does not calculate them on the fly. But as I wrote as well it has even this capabilities. All the rest is fully digital in it, so the filters are not simulated circuits, but just digital calculated frequency changes. The result is actually the same, but the method is different. And also you need to like the sound, that is the main difference. This is true for any synth. If you do not like the sound, the synth is not for you, regardless of what synth it is and how expensive it might be.
Ok waldorf. Time for a true 16 voices fm and granular from you. With max polyphony if you dont mind. AND A LOT OF KNOBS
Your dream has come true with the Waldorf Iridium.
@@jackcimino8822 indeed
Sound the same.., price not😊
With this sort of sound, you don't need a 16 voices.
Its not a 💪 Novation Summit
Btw great performance! ;)
I still like my Yamaha but I could just buy the standalone blo field and plug it in like a midi that might be quite interesting but I have to compare it to a Moog
what is that patch @ 1:37? Sounds so good!
Is that you Nick?
This seems to have a backlit screen; is there a backlit screen in the keyboard version? I recently got it but am thinking of selling it on as the lack of backlit screen is a huge issue for live use.
Every version has a backlit screen. There's probably something wrong with your unit.
Please make a Blofeld plus with more knobs and analog filter :)
Really! Do I need to point you out to the fact that Blofeld is $499 US, Quantum is $4,299. A Blofeld 2 would be an instant buy for me, more knobs, analog filters.
That was then, now we have Roland JDXi and Behringer Neutron. Also adding a few knobs and analog filters should not inflate the price 10 fold :D
Genshi Media Group The Quantum would be much cheaper if they weren't using that CNC'd aluminum case.
A Blofeld 2 with a sequencer, delay, and LFO with no sync issues, revamped built in effects, and an analog filter as the second filter would be an instant buy for me.
No need for more knobs as the layout is already so intuitive.
I'll happily buy an expanded model to complement my desktop version.
But only if it's purple.
And has golden knobs.
These are my demands.. 😜
Is that a factory patch @7:15?
they are all factory patches
Thanks! You don't know the name of the program by accident?
akos bacso I think by the time stamp the patch is called “The End” 😂
Can the module with the keystep do everything that the standalone version can?
The keyboard version comes with sample import and playback. You have to purchase it with the desktop. That's it. It's a great keybed if you need one, but not worth it for the sample license alone imo.
Also why did the email advertising it have Korg at the bottom?
Korg helps us with distribution in the US
What are the settings at 1:36?
Anyone know what the patch is at 3:29?
Is there a Mac or iOS editor for it?
filthyfilterz blowfield editor...amazing with the random functions !
Patchbase does an iOS editor for this and a bunch of synths I think.
Hmmm this or a micro freak?
Broken again. Love it but crappy build. Not like my Q or microwave. To the repair shop once again
The Blofeld is built like a tank. Just because you’ve had issues doesn’t mean it’s not well built. Every synth is gonna have a lemon occasionally.
I had problems too with the potis. Once repaired they are working now since some years.
Uh, I owned the «Q» and had massive decoder and firmware issues from the beginning. No problems with my Blofeld for many years now (touch wood).
please find someone who can play the instrument
I used to think I want an analog synth. Digital waves was what I was looking for
The funny thing is most people don't really know what they want. both analog and digital have their place. Cough cough, I'd go on a limb to say digital is just analog sampled....oh wait. Anyway, whatever you listened to growing up is what shapes your perception of sound ultimately
@@emmanueloluga9770 Very well put, that's what makes a person's sound "Unique" just be honest about what you love and pay homage to it
Same here!
