via sequencer.de"Blofeld will have all Waldorf MicrowaveXTk, MicrowaveXT Wavetables on board plus those of the Waldorf microQ / Waldorf Q. The first batch of blofelds are ready to sell and will be available very s.o.o.n (in about 1 week). It will come for 399€ over here in europe."
Oh my......
ReplyDeleteIs it safe to assume having the wavetables also means able to load the legacy patches?
ReplyDeleteNope. The voice structure on the XTk is pretty different from that of the MicroQ/Blofeld.
ReplyDeleteWhat I'm REALLLLY wondering is if each oscillator can have an independent wavetable or not....
Oh Noes! On the old Waldorf mailing list, anytime a Waldorf employee promised something was coming "s.o.o.n." (spelled just like that) it meant the promise was never fulfilled. I'm sure it's just someone at sequencer.de being funny.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if you can load your own waves like with the XT and if they are supplying a computer editor for it. With those two features it would be a "must have" for me.
ReplyDeleteIt has a USB 2.0 connection, so fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteToo bad it won't have audio over USB though.
It's named after a Bond villain.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think that Waldorf means "little village".
ReplyDeleteIt could give new meaning to the phrase, "It blo's!"
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great cheap machine... I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteWaldorf is a slightly changed name maid up from "Wald" (= forrest) and "Dorf" (=village). Only one "d" got lost somewhere in history.
ReplyDeleteThere is a "Walddorf" (notice the double "d") in Germany. The head quarter of SAP is located there. It is about 250 km south of the Waldorf music Waldorf.
