What's your latest purchase & what are your intentions with it? [pics ftw] (Part 3)

I might be a bit tired but I don’t know what you mean at all ha

Maybe it’s because I don’t use pedals but having the pedal image just before the blofeld image tricks my brain that I’m supposed to stomp on the knobs which would hurt and that made me laugh.

right got you. you’d probably hurt your foot stomping on a blofeld, it’s so well built.

That was fast. I didn’t think I was going to get it from their last arrival.

Mine should’ve arrived today by now. It might later but most likely tomorrow

My Blofeld is ace and I don’t give it enough attention. Oh, the Mark Pigott videos (I’ve checked - they’re still on YJ) are a great way to learn its capabilities.

I bought a Rat. I’m going to use it to distort reality by adding harmonics to an input signal.

enjoy and post some sounds!

I haven’t heard anything compelling from it yet but I’d expect to as I love waldorf and enjoyed the microwave vst.

yeah I’ll make my way to those.

I’ve just been learning by doing so far and already getting really nice patches out of it.

To my discredit I don’t spend enough time with mine.

Well that’s what I need to do next then!

I have owned a lot of synths at this point and blofeld will always be one of my favorites. I have a desktop and the keys right now. My recommendation is to get a decent reverb for it. Everything about that synth sounds great besides the reverb. It will make the blofeld even better.

yeah and the clocked delay can’t keep time and does pop sounds. other than that, it’s the best synth i have come across. insane modulation possibilities and sounds just brilliant. no interest for protein, but blofeld is the shit…

yeah I’m not fussed about the effects, I got it to sample it, the chorus sounds really good tho.

The MFX pedal has really nice reverbs so I’m covered in that sense, same with TV.

it does just sound great.

yeah totally, I haven’t touched the modifiers yet.

MFX is an absolute secret weapon!

does it have its own sequencer? or how do you sequence it?

Bit of a blofeld revival happening it seems?
I got one recently, it really is good

I had the keyboard version gears ago. Now I have a desktop. Its one deep synth alright.

Well we got one so why not ha.

Yes I’m loving it, made a few patches last night on it, all sounding very nice.

I have yet to use the TV multi sampling, I’m sure this would make a good candidate for that.

I love it already!

That brings back some memories. That’s one of the first pedals I ever bought as a kid. I walked into my band’s rehearsal room one day and my Brother (who was in my band) and another bandmate were making music and using my BF-2 on one of the synths without my permission. It evolved into a full out brawl between my brother and I, and was all captured on live mics. We ended up dubbing the song “Flanger Fight”.

Just finished up my DIY TKB built to round out my serge easel… purpose is to play out of tune of course.

A Rode Podmic! Finally replacing the absolute cheapest Philips mic I had for literally almost 2 decades. :sweat_smile:

Intentions are recording some decent vocal bits and perhaps some voiceover for videos one day.

It’s going through the VT-3 now and that thing has never sounded so good :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
