Just imagine to add a vocal-like noise spectrum to a typical Wavetable pad, spice-up a virtual-analog solo sound with a strong attack sample or just process any other sample with the countless oscillator and filter modulations. Play your sound creations on the high-quality keyboard with velocity and aftertouch. Pitchbend and modulation wheel are at your disposal and, as a matter of course, you can connect a sustain pedal. All this is packaged in a sleek metal enclosure with a big graphic display, endless stainless steel rotaries and an internal power supply. And although it comes for an unbeatable price tag, we add something very special. It comes: From Waldorf with Love! License for activating the sample memory of the Blofeld desktop synthesizer. License SL greatly expands the sonic potential of every Blofeld desktop. With this license installed, 60 megabytes of sample flash memory become available for factory and user samples. These samples and multisamples go through Blofeld´s vast synthesis engine just like the standard oscillators. And like the oscillators, samples can be used as an FM source or destination. You can also apply ring modulation, dual filters and overdrive to go far beyond traditional sample playback technology. License SL offers an extensive set of factory samples. The complete administration for own sample content will be done by the free SPECTRE application (available here for PC and Mac). License SL Overview Activation of 60 megabyte non-volatile sample flash memory for the Blofeld desktop synthesizer Easy user installation done by software only Support for single samples and multi samples with integrated loop points Administration for own sample content via SPECTRE software (available here) Included: License SL activation code with user´s manual, factory sample content, Waldorf Edition LE System Requirements for upgrading: PC or Mac computer with USB2 port, USB2 suited cable, SysEx capable software application like e.g. Cubase, Logic, MIDI OX odr SysEx Librarian, Blofeld desktop with OS 1.13 (included with License SL) or later, internet connection for online activation List of included samples Clav, Piano, Acoustic Gtr, Zither, E-Organ, Mixed Choir, Ney Flute, Marimba, French Horn, Kalimba, Strings, Tubular Bell, Pizzicato, Hi Hat Open, Hi Hat Closed, Ride Cymbal, Cymbal, Crash Cymbal, Cymbal Bell, Tambourine, Triangle, Guiro, Bongo Low, Bongo High, Agogo, Infinite Ending, Sad Strings, String Chord, Sweet String, Score Spectrum, Gong Spectrum, Soft Gong, Hose, Electricity, AC 230/50 Hz, AC 110/60 Hz, Machine, Shellak Viny Noise, Sonar, Spring, Impulse. Oscilators Each of the three oscillators offers authentic circuit-models of analog waveforms: Pulse with variable pulse-width, sawtooth, triangle and, as found in relatively few analog synthesizers these days, sine wave.
Furthermore, oscillators 1 and 2 feature the two wavetables that were introduced by the Waldorf Q and appeared shortly thereafter in the Micro Q series. Not only that, the Blofeld includes all ROM Wavetables from the mighty flagship Waldorf Wave as well as Microwave II/XT. Plus, lo and behold, the desperately requested "Upper Wavetable" from the good old PPG Wave! But, for the first time in the history of Waldorf and PPG, each of these two oscillators can have its own wavetable. What's more, you have control over the brilliance of these wavetables, which is especially important for waves with lots of harmonics in the bass end. You decide if you prefer pure and perfect harmonics or the same edgy timbre you know and love from the earlier Waldorf and PPG synthesizers. Brilliance also affects the sawtooth and pulse oscillator models. From warm and soft (for those typical L.
A. string pads) to the hard shapes you need for punchy and biting bass sounds. But note, Brilliance is not a simple filter applied after the oscillators, the model itself is modified. Each of the three oscillators can be frequency-modulated by any of the other oscillators, the noise generator or one of the LFOs. With low FM amounts, you can add a little dirt to the oscillator sound, with higher amounts you get typical FM effects. On top of all that, oscillator 2 can be hard-synced to oscillator 3. Ring Modulation Oscillators 1 and 2 can be ring-modulated to create bell-like or metallic sounds, eerie sound effects as well as pumping basses and leads. The noise generator delivers white noise that can be filtered low or high pass, depending on the Noise Colour setting. The three oscillators, the ring modulato...
