OK, I think that it comes down to this: you'll probably be happiest with a performance keyboard that you can interact with, Sam. So: Mono or poly?
Yes, it's a wavetable synth, so, no doubt that you can get some different sounds out of it. I was really just questioning the value of the hardware. In general, I don't see it for this type of thing, but, YMMV. I would use plugins for those sounds.masterhiggins wrote:I initially posted the wrong video. These are the ones I was talking about.

So, to clarify, I really like small performance keyboards. I think that the SH101 is great, the minibrute is the new SH101, and the microbrute is even more interesting to me personally. I really appreciated having the keyboard on the nord modular. To be clear, I'm not a keyboard player, but the immediacy still has value.goldenanalog wrote:If you're buying just 1 synth - I personally would try to score the blofeld keyboard - I've never heard anything really bad about the Keybed itself, so it probably could be used as the most basic of controllers (with 4 knobs, admittedly, you don't have much...)masterhiggins wrote:I'd prefer poly.goldenanalog wrote:Yeah - I was wondering what was going on!
OK, I think that it comes down to this: you'll probably be happiest with a performance keyboard that you can interact with, Sam. So: Mono or poly?Do you not think it would be a similar experience to have a generic midi keyboard controller with the Blofeld simply perched on top? I thought the price difference between the desktop and the keyboard wasn't worth it, is it?

Indeed Probably more optimal would be a more expensive solution like a studio logic waterfall or piano type that has knobs and sliders - and is built for the long haul.
It really depends on you - if (2) pieces (controller and module) I see that as a foundation for expansion versus a one-shot and done deal - you buy the blofeld keys, and live with the limitations.
For me, no. For you, you have to decide. That said, based on what goldenanalog says, you get additional value in that you get to load your some 60Meg of samples. That's something like $100. Personally, I'm offended at all of that kind of marketing, but, I'm not you.masterhiggins wrote:Well I'm able to get a new Blofeld Keyboard for $800 or the module for $425. Do you think that's low enough just to get the keyboard?
