Waldorf Blofeld Synthesizer

**Click on the link below to watch a tutorial video for the Waldorf Blofeld****Oscillators**Each of the three oscillators offers authentic circuit-models of analog waveforms: Pulse with variable pulse-width sawtooth triangle and as found in relatively few analog synthesizers these days sine wave.Furthermore oscillators 1 and 2 feature the two wavetables that were introduced by the Waldorf Q and appeared shortly thereafter in the Micro Q series.Not only that the Blofeld includes all ROM Wavetables from the mighty flagship Waldorf Wave as well as Microwave II/XT. Plus lo and behold the desperately requested "Upper Wavetable" from the good old PPG Wave! But for the first time in the history of Waldorf and PPG each of these two oscillators can have its own wavetable.Whats more you have control over the brilliance of these wavetables which is especially important for waves with lots of harmonics in the bass end. You decide if you prefer pure and perfect harmonics or the same edgy timbre you know and love from the earlier Waldorf and PPG synthesizers.Brilliance also affects the sawtooth and pulse oscillator models. From warm and soft (for those typical L.A. string pads) to the hard shapes you need for punchy and biting bass sounds. But note Brilliance is not a simple filter applied after the oscillators the model itself is modified.Each of the three oscillators can be frequency-modulated by any of the other oscillators the noise generator or one of the LFOs. With low FM amounts you can add a little dirt to the oscillator sound with higher amounts you get typical FM effects.**Ring Modulation and Noise Generator**Oscillators 1 and 2 can be ring-modulated to create bell-like or metallic sounds eerie sound effects as well as pumping basses and leads.The noise generator delivers white noise that can be filtered low or high pass depending on the Noise Colour setting.The three oscillators the ring modulator and the noise generator can be freely mixed into filter 1 and filter 2. This allows fine control over the harmonic content of each of the tone generators.**Filters**The Blofeld has two multimode filters per voice that can be routed in series or in parallel. Each Filter has its own Pan parameter for easy creation of stereo sounds.The selection of filter types includes low pass band pass high pass and notch (band reject) each with 12d B/oct or 24d B/oct slope. The filter models are based on several famous Waldorf filter algorithms found in all our products. They offer resonance up to self-oscillation as well as frequency modulation (filter FM).Furthermore the Blofeld features the same comb filter types (with positive and negative feedback) that we first introduced in the Waldorf Q. These can be used to thicken bass and pad sounds or to create percussive string or flute sounds reminiscent of physical modelling.**Overdrive Saturation Distortion Shaping**You name it. The Blofeld offers a freely controllable "Drive" behind each filter with more than a dozen curves. These include such standards as the drive from the Q and Micro Q low/medium/hard saturation tube saturation two types of electric pickups a rectifier digital overflow as well as esoteric stuff such as "binary distortion" a sinusoidal waveshaper and even a distortion controlled by oscillator 1. And because the Blofeld has two filters that can be routed in series you can control the timbre of the drive output of Filter 1 by dampening or emphasizing certain frequencies with filter 2. **Effects**The Blofeld has two effect slots with various types. In Multimode the first effect slot is available per Part while the second one is used for all 16 Parts (i.e. global) with controllable mix levels. Part 1 determines the settings of the second effect.The first effect slot offers such modulation effects as chorus flanger as well as a combined type called "Triple FX". The latter gives you several effects at once but with a reduced parameter set.The second effect slot offers all the same types as the first but with the addition of delay clocked delay and reverb.**LFOs**Each of the three LFOs offers sine triangle square and sawtooth waveforms plus sample & hold and random.LFOs can be synchronized to MIDI clock they can be polyphonic or monophonic reset on key trigger to a freely definable phase and the speed can be scaled by MIDI note (key follow). There are separate delay and fade in/out parameters for e.g. delayed vibrato (positive Fade values) or a burst of vibrato at the start of each note (negative Fade values).One important feature of the Blofeld LFOs is that higher rates reach well into the audio frequency range thus making them useful extra FM sources. There are two basic modes: either linear FM as seen in classic digital synths or logarithmic FM which is primarily the domain of analog modular systems.**Click on the link below to watch a tutorial video for the Waldorf Blofeld**

Waldorf is back in the game. With the Blofeld. This synthesizer offers all the unique qualities that made Waldorf a truly legendary brand.The engine inside the heavy duty full metal chassis of the Blofeld delivers the same fat and rich sound that so many Waldorf users worldwide love when they play their Pulse Q Q+ Micro Q Microwave Microwave II/XT or even the flagship Wave.This unique synthesis system is based upon the revolutionary PPG Wave synthesizers of the early 80s. So when you listen to the Blofeld for the first time you will instantly recognize those edgy hard-hitting and bell-like timbres that have been an integral part of so many world hits from the PPG era on and become increasingly popular once more.In fact it is amazing to realize that nowadays this complex technology fits into such a slim and elegant device. And for a price no-one would have imagined a couple of years ago.Click on the links below to download MP3 demos of the Waldorf Blofeld Synthesizer
