NAMM: Blofeld Test Pilots

follow-up to this post
Pictures taken by three crazy Waldorf betatesters: Dr. Georg Müller, Till "keep on turning these knobs" Kopper and Boele "SCD" Gerkes.

Note: Waldorf stated that they have NO part in this and may consider looking out for more sane beta-testers... :)

Some notes and samples via Boele via the Waldorf list: "Here is an mp3 [samples-teaser1.mp3] showing a tiny bit what samples sound like in the BLofeld engine. Of course these sounds are my preferences which not necessairely have to be yours :D

Don't expect General Midi sounds from Waldorf please. The samples CAN sound like that, but the *real* fun is in mangling these samples with drive, filters, effects and blend them with wavetables and VA oscillators!

And THAT it does REALLY REALLY REALLY well! This mp3 is bare Blofeld recording. No external processing or FX. I was already VERY impressed with the Blofeld, but this option opens a whole new world. Boele takes his hat off for Waldorf. Again."

followed by:
"Two more sounds [samples-teaser2.mp3] using no wavetables at all. The second one has a nice phaser. Without using the phaser ;-) Again, no external FX or processing. Bare Blofeld."

Remember to click on the images for the full size shot. Yeah, I'm getting one...
