"'Magnetic Fields' or 'Les Chants Magnétiques' by Jean-Michel Jarre is THE album of my life. I never would have started making music without this masterpiece. And it took me only thirty years to decypher the starting sequence.

Learn how to build a transposable sequencer on a Waldorf Blofeld. Additionally, let's create a panning delay with uncommon length values.

[patch] Deeper and Deeper (Blofeld)

video upload by Synthesizer Video Service

"'Deeper and Deeper' is a fantastic piece of music by 'The Fixx' that they composed for the movie 'Streets of Fire'. It wonderfully shows the use of the PPG Wave (just like many other pieces by this band). Since the Waldorf Blofeld is also a bit of a great-grandson of the PPG, let's find out today if we can recreate the distinctive sound at the beginning of the piece.

[patch] Shepard Tone (Blofeld)

video upload by Synthesizer Video Service

"In this tutorial, I'm showing how to program the Shepard Tone on a Waldorf Blofeld synthesizer. The Shepard Tone is an effect that gives you the impression of an infinitely rising or falling sound. This is a good example for careful and delicate choice of parameters during the sound design process.

Attention! I'm sorry, I forgot to set oscillator 2 to 16'' :(

[demo] 10 Minutes of Krell Patch (Blofeld)


"This is a demonstration of a self-playing eternal patch, programmed on a Waldorf Blofeld synthesizer. A lot of modulations and modifiers were used. There was no external post-processing and no external effects were applied. The hands were off the unit and the keyboard, though the arp is playing very slow and long 'notes'.

'Krell' is an alien species from the film "Forbidden Planet" (1956). The soundtrack for these creatures was composed by Louis and Bebe Barron and very popular among modularists. It's a good example for an aleatoric patch - a sound playing with the help of randomness."

Waldorf Blofeld - "Harmony of the Spheres" Soundset

video upload by LFOstore

https://sellfy.com/lfo/

"'Harmony of the Spheres' is a truly remarkable soundset for Waldorf Blofeld synthesizer with 55 exclusive presets created by the well-known sound designer and sound therapist Otto K. Schwarz.

The soundbank is dedicated to the ancient philosophical concept of the harmony of the spheres, also known as Musica universalis. The ancients spoke concerning the musical and mathematical structure of the cosmos. They believed that the movement of heavenly bodies gives rise to harmony, since it is expressed by distances equal to the consonant musical proportions.

In this bank you will find multi-layer pads that take you beyond the event horizon and dissolve into distant outer space; amazing arpeggios that convey the sounds of near-Earth space objects and allow you to enter the unexplored territories of the unknown planets; impetuous leads piercing dark matter with their bright sound frequencies; polyphonic keys, colored by the radiation of the starry sky.

Whether you're creating ambient, soundtracks, EDM or experimental music, this collection of sounds will be at your service!"

The 1982 Roland SRE 555 / RE 501 Chorus Echo with Emulator II, Jupiter 6 demo

Synthesizer Video Service Blofeld posts

"The 1982 Chorus Echo from Roland marked the end of the Tape Echo, I find these units make you go “mmmMMM…” which, in this case, means.. magical, mysterious, mesmerising and mechanical! ..this unit provides a ghostly, dream-state-like ambience to just about anything you put into it. Sit back, relax and come on a journey back to 1982 thru to current day with the help of some sounds from the E-mu Emulator II, the Roland Jupiter 6 & the MPC X ..through this mesmerising mechanical machine.

I requested an interview with the engineer of the Chorus Echo, but he declined due to the fact he doesn’t like repeating himself 😂 🤦🏻‍♂️
