All righty then. I'll take one.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the Waldorf mailing list, that's not even a feature complete list.
ReplyDeletei wonder what the price will be with all that metal and steel =o]
ReplyDelete400 Euros.
ReplyDelete$699 is the Nova Musik price, but if you preorder, they'll let you have it for $599. I got a similar deal from them on my Micro Q Phoenix. $699 was their asking price, but I only paid $555 AND I got the Waldorf Edition plug-ins for FREE! The Micro Q is my first Waldorf synth, and I'm loving the hell out of it. I'm using it as my live synth and an MPC 1000 as the sequencer. Bad ass combo.
ReplyDeleteYay for an undervalued Dollar and an overvalued Euro :(

ReplyDelete3 Fast LFO's?
ReplyDeleteI think the perfect LFO does one cycle per year (31 556 926 seconds), or about: 3.16887646 × 10-8 Hz.
"Yay for an undervalued Dollar and an overvalued Euro :("
ReplyDeleteYeah, this can only get worse, as the Federal Reserve Cartel of privately owned banks (Many of them foreign to the US) continue to debase our currency. But don't worry! They'll save us with a new scheme to peg our currency to an "American Union" with Canada and Mexico. There's no end to the ways of the Rothchild's and Rockefeller's who continue to enslave us all, Blacks, whites and latinos etc. They do it all with their Monopoly money.

ReplyDeleteBetter than Eurabia.
ReplyDeleteHmm.. "up to 25 voices" and waldorf's own site still says "up to 50 voices".
ReplyDeleteGood job array!!!

Someone else posted this on the Waldorf mailing list, I just passed it along to Matrix.
ReplyDeleteThis was NOT posted on the Waldorf Mailing LIst !!!
ReplyDeleteThis list does not allow attachments. I should know this as a moderator.
But the list in an official feature list. Page 1+2 are missing, but these are not a feature list, but some more advertising like info about the Blofeld.. But it is also not 100% up to the specs that are already implemented. There will be some more features in there. Because it is not yet released (it will be released VERY soon), the work continues.
You will like this little Blo if you are into Waldorf synths or any other good sounding VA synth. Or into the PPG wavetable synths.
I suspect that feature list is bogus, for two reasions:
ReplyDelete1. Weren't the knobs to be machined aluminum, not stainless steel?? I'm pretty sure I heard the designer state this in a video (possibly on sonicstate, from NAMM 07)
2. 25 Voices ... Since when?? Still says 50 on waldorfmusic.de though....
From waldorfmusic.de:
"Simply twisting Blofeld's solid aluminum knobs.... "
"up to 50 voices" ...
Bogus?
Hmm. Are there any real differences between the synthesis architectures of the Blofeld and the MicroQ?
ReplyDeleteNice tabletop box, though. I really like the graphic LCD.
Valdemar-
ReplyDeleteNot bogus. The users on the mailing list who currently have a Blofeld have said that the list is pretty accurate.
peterwendt-
Lots of differences. There's now a brightness parameter on the oscillators as well as the drive stages. On top of that, the Blofeld also has the wavetables of the Microwave XT.
Thanks, mr. array.
ReplyDeleteI checked the MicroQ manual, and here is my summary:
Same basic architecture, but:
Blofeld = nice new box, LCD, USB,
better oscillators and wavetables, plus flexible overdrive (and who knows what else will ship?)
MicroQ = suboscillators, multiple outputs, external input, vocoder
I'm pretty sure that the Blofeld will have suboscillators as well, considering that it can load MicroQ patches.
ReplyDeleteOh, and Blofeld may or may not have PPG and Cascade filter models.
