This unique synthesis system is based on the revolutionary PPG synthesizers of the early 1980s. When you first hear the Blofeld, you’ll immediately remember those edgy, assertive or bell-like timbres that have been an integral part of countless global hits since the PPG era. And if all that isn’t enough, the Blofeld Keyboard includes 60 MB of non-volatile memory for samples that can be seamlessly incorporated into synthesis. Imagine adding a voice-like noise component to a typical wavetable surface, adding a crunchy velocity sample to a virtual-analog solo sound, or warping other samples with the myriad of oscillator and filter modulations.
You can play your sound creations on the high-quality keyboard, which is not only velocity sensitive, but also responds to aftertouch. Pitchbend and modulation wheel are at your disposal and of course you can connect a sustain pedal as well. All this is packed in a slim metal case with a large graphic display, stainless steel endless knobs and an internal power supply.
