ReplyDeleteSample memory???
ReplyDeleteThis is going for 600 pounds in the UK including VAT. The Blofeld goes for 300 #, also including VAT.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand how the Blofeld carries a $900 price in the states. You could buy it from the UK, pay VAT, and still come out $300 ahead.
And there's no way in hell the Bk is worth $1800 if the prices correlate.
they should have picked up the DSI idea, more control knobs on the keyboard version...like that now it falls behind a simple nord lead I guess despite the sonic range
ReplyDeleteIt must be that keeping the exact Blofeld knob layout means lower production costs. It's too bad that more consumers aren't willing to pay more for better keyboards. More effects from software synths, no doubt.
ReplyDeleteI'd pay more for a 5-octave version with more knobs in black, so it wouldn't end up looking like the grimy Korg M3s on the GC showroom floor.
