Waldorf Blofeld S&H Distortion

via Boele of SCD:
"http://www.synthmusic.info/mpdries/S&H+distortion.mp3

This is one single Blofeld patch, without external processing (well only AIFF-mp3 conversion)

My two hands, a Blofeld keyboard and it's modwheel was all it took.

I find the warm distortion Blofeld can produce really unbelievable. I have a few distortion, fuzz and overdrive pedals here (analog and tube driven), but Blofeld just doesn't need them :-)

The rhythmic effect in the track is caused by a Sample and Hold LFO modulating the filter cutoffs and filter panning, where LFO sync is on (all LFOs start at the same phase).

What a machine..."
