Blofeld Black : A masterpiece by Waldorf

This synth is one of the most loved ones in my studio. I have bought this when it first came out in 2007, and back then it was a bit glitchy. But after they cleaned up the operating system things have been smooth sailing.

If you install the sample license, I would go as far as to say this is the only synth you will ever need. It's really that good. It's a true masterpiece.

The oscillators sound great, the modulation matrix is wonderful and the filters sound very good.

The only negative aspekt are the effects. But if you use this in production you'll probably record dry anyway for post in the computer. The fx are not extremely bad, but I would have liked a better quality reverb. But hey, that might be just me.

A feature I haven't used until later years is the multitimbrality. You have 16 parts. 16! That's what I'm talking about when I say this is the only synth you will ever need.

I usually use the 8 miditracks on my Digitakt to control the Blofeld and it's such a sweet combo.

Built like a tank, very sleek and beautiful on the desktop. Get one.
