Just got my Blofeld 10 minutes ago. Oh. My. GOD. This thing is awesome. I've been playing with some wavetables and it sounds amazing. It's extremely digital, and almost kind of cold sounding, but it's extremely hi-def. It can make those shimmering Filteria pads and effects with ease... I think I'm going to love this thing.

Can't remember if I posted this Tipper track in here...Even if it's a repost, it's an excellent one

Yeah I really want to learn more about the deeper synthesis techniques like that. The K2000 is very well suited for that kind of stuff, I just have to get deeper into it. Right now it's extremely easy to build sounds but creating the more subtle nuances such as what Cosmosis described is really what I'm after. Soon I will be going to New York to learn some skills at a small school called Dub Spot. I've heard really great things about their sound design classes and I'm excited to start applying it to my music.



Glad to hear it came! Also, glad to hear it sounds amazing. Sounds like a quality purchase, I'm still interested in eventually acquiring one. On the note of pads, you mentioned a bit back that Vibrasphere uses almost exclusively VST pads in their music. Would you happen to know which VSTs they used often? I would love to get a little of that progressive sound going.

Anyway, enjoy your Blofeld, sounds like it's a fantastic synth.

Gorgeous.

Vibrasphere is a big fan of Omnisphere VST, so I've read. Omnisphere is expensive as fuck though, it's like $500 for it. Infected Mushroom is also a big fan of it as well, apparently, so it's got to be good if they like it, since they're so anal about their sound quality

In my opinion, I don't find the pads of Omnisphere to have that high end crispness that most hardware pads can do. It seems kind of...over processed. Of course this is just from demos, I've never actually played Omnisphere. I hear it's fantastic for making weird psychoacoustic noises and leads though. If I had the money, I'd totally buy it.

Nice, thanks for the info, that's along the vein of what I was thinking actually. I thought about getting Omnisphere but instead decided with a piece of hardware for now. Definitely have to add it to my collection eventually though. I've heard great things for a softsynth.

Camel Audio Alchemy can do more than Omnisphere and it's only $150, sounds pretty nice too. It has a darker quality than Omnisphere, at least from what I've heard playing the demo version.

Just got this CD, great stuff from Entheogenic. It's their first release, I believe. There's some amazing psychedelia in this album, highly recommend everybody get it. If anyone wants it, I'll be happy to hook you up, just PM me.
