Members synthman1 Posted February 1, 2009 Members Share Posted February 1, 2009 It's a "Grand-Slam MultiPost". Very, Very rare and hardly every sighted in the wild. We should all consider ourselves quite lucky this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Hamburglar Posted February 1, 2009 Members Share Posted February 1, 2009 So, jumping into this thread 17 pages in, does anyone know how much the keyboard version is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members evildragon Posted February 1, 2009 Members Share Posted February 1, 2009 Around 1100-1300 $. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members raffor Posted February 1, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 1, 2009 Instead of the sample ram Waldorf should have implemented the SuperSaw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members evildragon Posted February 1, 2009 Members Share Posted February 1, 2009 Hah, hell no. Waldorf always does things their own way. Why should they implement supersaw? Just because other VAs have it? That's ruining the uniqueness of their products. Plus, I find supersaw all-too-overused and boring to my ears.

Members evildragon Posted February 2, 2009 Members Share Posted February 2, 2009 Eh, because it's already there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members raffor Posted February 2, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 2, 2009 Eh, because it's already there? Obviously it was not already there in the Blofeld desktop!! Needs a $150 to get in there!!! Copy, copy, copy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members evildragon Posted February 2, 2009 Members Share Posted February 2, 2009 I meant that the chip is already there. I also agree that paying for that is a bit foolish. But hey, that's Waldorf. Anyways, I dig the Blokey more, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gribs Posted February 2, 2009 Members Share Posted February 2, 2009 Well the upgrade price isn't going to scare away my GAS for a Blofeld. Honestly I forgot that Waldorf dropped the price once. Silly me. Some piece of gear will have to go before I ever get one though - too much stuff now.

Members raffor Posted February 2, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 2, 2009 Please remind, that Waldorf is a european company. So they calculate on Euro. And 99 Euro is about 150$US right now. That is so not true, 99 Euro correlate to $127 these days. Let's face it, the new distributor for Waldorf in the US is a little greedy. Same happened to the Blofeld for $899. They adjusted that after a couple of weeks, probably with the look forward to cash in on updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members synthman1 Posted February 2, 2009 Members Share Posted February 2, 2009 Instead of the sample ram Waldorf should have implemented the SuperSaw! Having the capability to load user definable samples offers almost unlimited possibilities for sound creation and prevents non-obsolesce. With a closed rom system you stuck with what is provided-which is still great mind you. Adding samples for your own osc is far more flexible and offer much more variety and personal customization though. It Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mildbill Posted February 2, 2009 Members Share Posted February 2, 2009 A single cycle wave by itself usually isn't very interesting. Just kind of a steady-state buzzing. When you put a bunch of them together joined at the 0 point amplitude crossings, you can sweep through them using some type of control, like a modwheel, envelope or whatever. Then with some filtering and the usual, they can start to get sonically interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some other soft synths like Gladiator and Alchemy let you sequence through time points on the sonogram which I guess you could call something like a table of wave spectra (though Gladiator also lets you do various linear and nonlinear transformations on the sonogram, too). Different companies use the word "wave table" to mean different things, though. To some it means a table of numbers representing just one wave and to others like Waldorf it means a table of waves. The Blofeld manual very nicely and explicitly states the difference between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AfroRouge Posted February 2, 2009 Members Share Posted February 2, 2009 Someone over at the Elektron user group posted a wavetable derived from a Virus, for uploading into the Monomachine. I imagine this could work for the Blofeld too. I'm looking forward to hearing how other users like the sample capabilities. I'm not convinced that it's an essential feature for me.

Members setAI Posted February 12, 2009 Members Share Posted February 12, 2009 this has been bothering me- samples loaded HOW??? something very fishy about the sample RAM- since the announcement I just assumed that sample files would be loaded via the USB- but it appears that the Blofeld USB is not a true USB audio/midi/file interface- it's only for MIDI- [which is why I didn't buy the tabletop after I was ready to do so] so Blofeld has no audio inputs to record samples- and no media drive or USB interface to import samples- how do you get samples in the machine then? telekinesis? my only guess is that the USB spec has been beefed up to at least allow file transfers like say the kaoss pad 3?

Members evildragon Posted February 12, 2009 Members Share Posted February 12, 2009 There probably will be some kind of editor that will enable the importing of user samples. Also this should come with a firmware update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AfroRouge Posted February 12, 2009 Members Share Posted February 12, 2009 The Monomachine loads wavetables through MIDI also. And you call yourself a futurist . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
