Waldorf has released Blofeld for iPad, a port of the hardware synth engine, including AUv3 for use in DAWs like Logic, Garageband, Cubasis, AUM and others.
The Blofeld app can also be used to control your hardware and is compatible with existing Blofeld soundsets.
Here’s what Waldorf has to say about Blofeld for iPad:
“The sound generation of the Blofeld plugin delivers the typical fat and rich Waldorf sound character that so many Waldorf users worldwide love when they are playing their Blofeld, Q, Q+, Microwave, Microwave II/XT or even the flagship, the Wave. The secret of its sound is a powerful wavetable engine that enables these intense and expressive sounds.
This unique synthesis system is based on the revolutionary PPG synthesizers of the early 80s. When you hear the Blofeld for the first time, you’ll immediately remember those edgy, assertive or bell-like timbres that have been an integral part of countless worldwide hits since the PPG era.”
Pricing and Availability:
Blofeld for iPad is available now, with an intro price of $12.99.
Wonderful demo of a classic and beautiful synth!
Hardware blofeld was so buggy when it was used in multi mode… mine would regularly freeze up and require a power reset. Looking forward to using the iPad app as I liked the sounds.
good call. $12.95 is about what a Blofeld is worth.
$12.99 is really cheap considering the regular plugin retails for $149. For that price it might be worth buying an old iPad.
I’m so happy I didn’t buy one. This is awesome.
Definitely going to buy this even though it’s gonna tank the cpu on my 5 year old IPad. The Microwave 1 was a hungry bastard, but well worth it.
Crackles and glitches on some of the more CPU intensive patches. Percussion is great.
Older iPad, sixth gen, so not a surprise. Seems worth the money for many sounds.
