people who suggest the waldorf blofeld as a first synth to others

25 voices...

16 part multitimbral,

mod matrix with 16 slots of modulation..

4 envelopes per voice...

Filter - 2 independent Multi Mode Filters per voice: Low pass, High pass, Band pass, Notch, Comb; 12 or 24 dB/oct modes

...

like, ??? not sure what the complaints are. if you want to dig deep and build nice sounding synth patches, you can definitely do it with the blofeld.

i've also always seen a sentiment of people saying the blofeld sounds 'digital' and 'ice-y' and that's another one i've not really agreed with. the filters sound very nice and lovely and 'creamy' even.. imo.

it's a good synth.

navigating the menus can be a bit of a bore, scrolling thru the pages. that's the main complaint as far as i can see it. otherwise, the blofeld is very deep. and easy to pick up cheap 2nd hand.
