I’ve been having a lot of fun with this This is a pretty flexible digital desktop synthesizer at a very great price. The Blofeld is a very unique synthesizer, with a lot of features not found on typical synthesizers.SOUND QUALITYSound quality without effects (reverb, chorus, etc.) is professional level comparable to an Access Virus TI2 without effects.

I’ve been having a lot of fun with this, it sounds great, and is easy to program. I was initially worried about the usability of the matrix editing, since I used to have a microQ, and I ended up getting rid of it because it was such a pain to program. However, programming the blofeld is much easier, thanks to it’s larger screen, and button-per-function navigation.I have a Virus B, which this complements nicely. The Blofeld is much less opinionated about how you should go about programming…
