LiPI's synthesizer pages / Waldorf blofeld

Hmmm... The blofeld...
I think the Waldorf blofeld is the most divisive synth on the world. A lot of people buy it, heard it and sold it in a few months.
A lot of people can't imagine their life without blofeld.
And here is me...
A few years ago I had got a blofeld, then I sold it. Then now I buy one again...
Why?
Becouse I learned a lot in the last years about sound design, synth programming, etc.

I learned how to and why love the synth what I heat! :D

Pros as I think:
• Build Quality/Form Factor: A metal enclosure with 7 endless metal knobs. The encoders are stable and/or easily repairable today. The metal enclosure is heavy, so my Blofeld is sit stable on any surface.
• Quick Editing – The physical parameter matrix with default mappings set to common parameters is good visible, easily visible.
• Multi mode: it's open the possibilities for the layered younds.
• 16 slots modulation matrix: even the LFO's self modulating ;)
• Sonic palette
• 1024 patch memory

Cons as I think:
• Multi mode is buggy.
• The FX usage in multi mode is horrible!
• The max. 25 of poliphony not enough for 16 multimbral ... Except when you use 16x mono/1 OSC sound... :-D
• Bad sync... The LFO's tempo sync is buggy. The external clock source following is incidental.
• There is no EQ at all.
• More then 100 Euros for the SL License on the desktop modells!?!?!?!?
• There is no MIDI OUT/THRU on desktop modells!
• There is no individual OUTs...
• There is no official librarian. Third party only.

Here are some tips for a better sounding blofeld synth on your desktop:

Volume
The most common parameter what is wrong in a blofeld patch is the volume. Usually it has some value, and some velocity value in the amplifier section.
The velocity sensitivity is a two step parameter in the blofeld. On of is above, and the other is in the Amlifier Mod section.
For example if you want a drum/perc/piano like sound you want a loud sound in full speed note on and a quiet at a slow note on.
Set the Amplifier for that:
- Volume: 0
- Velocity: +64
- Mod Source: Velocity
- Mod Amount: +64
Usually it's good for pads too... Now

Worth to buy these soundsets (IMHO)
