Overview

Over 1000 Sounds, Programmable 16 Step Arpeggiator

Description

The Blofeld Desktop Synth Module by Waldorf features Waldorf's legendary Analogue Modelling Technology and 60 MB of onboard sample memory. That kind of built-in storage allows you to import your own selection of samples and manipulate them using the Blofeld, 16-part multi-timbral virtual-analogue synthesis engine. You'll also be able to load and play Micro Q sounds and it comes bundled with Spectre, a free tool for creating and transferring sample content.
