You lucky, lucky bastard!


Good shout on the CM/FM CDs too - any chance you could do a list of what ones you've got once you get time?

Bro, you are slaying me with gear envy. Uad's hanging out your arse, 909 under your pillow at night, and now a freebie pocket blofeld.

It is too much.

If I had the ability to make your life less good, I'd do it. :evil:

Blofeld is a real waste of time.
Send it to me and I`ll dispose of it in a humane manner.

i only own a virus ti snow, but i've research a lot and talked to people that own both. a pretty well known producer told me to save and get the TI instead of going with the blofeld - mainly because "that virus sound." the blofeld specializes with pads and soundscapes (from what i hear the presets are amazing).. however, if you want it for more than that, and for bass riffs... virus it is.

i can personally recommend the TI snow, it has half the DSP of the TI2... however with its VST support, you don't really need to make multi-patches with 5+ patches (because you can just bounce patches to audio). in addition, with the TI vst, it acts like any other vst and remembers settings without saving anything internally on the TI. not sure if the blofeld integrates into one's workflow as well as the virus does.

It's only software in a box.

Nice software, but software nonetheless...

Amazing, I thionk you'd love it.
Tbh, I've only scratched the surface with it so far. Blue is my weapon of choice right now. But even just butchering the presets on Largo has been throwing great some great sounds. Have a look on Youtube for Largo stuff ;-)

Every synth has its thing, the thing that makes it special, what is largo's "thing"? That one little thing that is unique? Is it the wavetables, the drive on that filter, WHAT? :)
