"I love to heat you!" - Waldorf blofeld

Hmmm... The blofeld...
I think the Waldorf blofeld is the most divisive synth on the world. A lot of people buy it, heard it and sold it in a few months.
A lot of people can't imagine their life without blofeld.
And here is me...
A few years ago I had got a blofeld, then I sold it. Then now I buy one again...
Why?
Becouse I learned a lot in the last years about sound design, synth programming, etc.
I learned how to and why love the synth what I heat! :D
- Build Quality/Form Factor: A metal enclosure with 7 endless metal knobs. The encoders are stable and/or easily repairable today. The metal enclosure is heavy, so my Blofeld is sit stable on any surface.
- Quick Editing – The physical parameter matrix with default mappings set to common parameters is good visible, easily visible.
- Multi mode: it's open the possibilities for the layered younds.
- 16 slots modulation matrix: even the LFO's self modulating ;)
- Sonic palette
- 1024 patch memory
- Multi mode is buggy.
- The FX usage in multi mode is horrible!
- The max. 25 of poliphony not enough for 16 multimbral ... Except when you use 16x mono/1 OSC sound... :-D
- Bad sync... The LFO's tempo sync is buggy. The external clock source following is incidental.
- There is no EQ at all.
- More then 100 Euros for the SL License on the desktop modells!?!?!?!?
- There is no MIDI OUT/THRU on desktop modells!
- There is no individual OUTs...
- There is no official librarian. Third party only.
Here are some tips for a better sounding blofeld synth on your desktop:
Volume
The most common parameter what is wrong in a blofeld patch is the volume. Usually it has some value, and some velocity value in the amplifier section.
The velocity sensitivity is a two step parameter in the blofeld. On of is above, and the other is in the Amlifier Mod section.
For example if you want a drum/perc/piano like sound you want a loud sound in full speed note on and a quiet at a slow note on.
Set the Amplifier for that:
- Volume: 0
- Velocity: +64
- Mod Source: Velocity
- Mod Amount: +64
Usually it's good for pads too... Now
