Members zzzxtreme Posted April 15, 2013 Members Share Posted April 15, 2013 having 60MB sample ram, can Waldorf Blofeld Keyboard do rock organs ? are there commercial sample/patch banks available to cater various sounds mainly the 128 GM sounds (i don't mean GM compatiblity)I know it's mainly a synth, but I heard some of it's good acoustic sounds, and just wonder whether it can provide plenty good organs ? Another reason is it's less than EUR600, have great keybed with aftertouch, metal body, internal PSU, 49key (perfect size) etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mate_stubb Posted April 15, 2013 Members Share Posted April 15, 2013 If you want your organ to sound like 1980's D-50 organs, samples is the way to go. All decent modern organ clones are modelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stokely Posted April 15, 2013 Members Share Posted April 15, 2013 I don't recall the desktop version having any kind of organ...but then again I think the keyboard version came with some sample memory (?) and possibly a useable piano patch. But I didn't see any evidence for it having any good organ or I might have bought one a few years ago. (Not to say it can't be done, but I don't want to be the first! I'm cautious about spending...)Not nearly the same board, but one that might hit the spot for you: Kurzweil pc361. I recently picked up a used one and it's taking care of my VA needs, piano, strings and a very nice rock organ IMO (which you can tweak like crazy). Again I know it's not the same kind of synth but I've been thrilled to death with it and the build quality is outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Casio Man Posted April 15, 2013 Members Share Posted April 15, 2013 I have thought the same. I have horrible synth gas, but I need organs first, and I thought, that the blofeld could be my swiss gig knife, but ultimately didn't dare to buy it yet. This is the best organ demo I found(@8:09): Some one else tried to emulate leslie by crossfading fast and slow samples, but that didn't sound super convincing either.

Members AnotherScott Posted April 15, 2013 Members Share Posted April 15, 2013 For a low cost organ - synth hybrid, I'd look at Roland VR-09, or if that's out of budget, Casio XW-P1. Or maybe trigger an iPad. It has some very cool synth apps, and decent organ too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
