Good Hybrid Digital/Analog synth
7blanche 12.09.2014
This was my first outboard synth buy. And I am very happy with it.

The build quality is excellent and the design is cool looking. For midi sending you can connect it to your computer workstation via USB or MIDI IN. It does not have a MIDI OUT (it will not send any MIDI messages). Using USB it tends to add noise, however (MIDI is recommended). Additionally it has a phone jack. The knobs feel good, the LCD screen is big enough to understand the tweaking being done. There are possibilities to load other presets from Waldorf home page once you got enough of the factory presets.

The included factory sound presets are nice. You will not have to deal with the harshness the software synth sounds have. The organs (included in KEYS) sound very natural. However, bass sounds are too clean.

However, from time to time it will crash/freeze. For home/studio projects that is not a problem, but it can be a game changer for live purposes. Also the button placement will limit some possibilities as you will not be able simultaneously change filter and envelope settings.

In the end I certainly can recommend this synth taking into consideration it's price. It is a great all around synth.

Extrem multitimbral und polyphon, extrem guter Klang, bestes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis in Hardware.
synth 16.07.2012
Was mich am meisten am Blofeld begeistert:
+ Extrem kompaktes Format
+ Extreme Multitimbralität (16-fach) und Polyphonie (bis zu 25 Voices)
+ Sehr gute Visualisierung aller Vorgänge (z.B. Wellenformen) über das Matrixdisplay
+ Extrem flexibles Routing und Modulation (z.B. Modiefier)
+ Sehr nützliche Sample-Option (kann z.B. auch Sample Drum Machine sein)
+ Extrem starke FM
+ Extrem cooler Look in der schwarzen Version
+ Ein super Partner (auch optisch) für Hardwaresequencer wie z.B. Ocatrack
+ Bestes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis in Hardware

Einzig beim Multimode ist die Benutzerführung in meinen Augen etwas umständlich und gewöhnungsbedürftig. Das ist allerdings tatsächlich nur eine Gewohnheitssache, denn er funktioniert tadellos. Man kann ganze Tracks inkl. Drums nur mi einem einzigen Blofeld erstellen.

"Schwarz klingt besser..."
Aldi 28.09.2012
... so oder ähnlich bezeichnet Waldorf die Vorzüge des Blofeld Black. Ist natürlich Quatsch, denn ausser der Optik ist alles identisch zum weißen Blofeld. So muß man auch hier die SL License käuflich erwerben um den erweiterten Samplespeicher nutzen zu dürfen. Ansonsten klingt der Blofeld auch ohne diese Option richtig gut. Ob schwarz oder weiß bleibt somit reine Geschmacksache.

Sag niemals nie
Harald H. 22.04.2011
Ich habe jahrelang nur wert auf gute Orgel und Piano Sounds (Jazz, Blues) gelegt,aber als sich meine alten Kumpels wieder meldeten um unsere vor 25Jahren gestorbende Band zu reanimieren fiel mir mein alter Ms20 und Sythex wieder ein.Der Vergleich mit dem Blofeld hing nartürlich ein "bisschen"aber für das Geld ist er ein gut klingender und zum "Schrauben"einladender Synthesizer, der süchtig macht.Ich werde jetzt auch noch das Geld für die SL Freischaltung ausgeben.
