no your friend is wrong , blofeld is not quite nice , blofed is amazing compared to nord wave comparing the specs of the two synth.
Nord wave stands no chance really.
2 part multitibral ? Are we serious ? !!!
The sample option on blofeld , is just that , an option ....
Blofeld even without the sample option is a monstrous VA sharing the same but enhanced well known monstrous Waldorf engine.
That means 16 arpeggiators (one for each timbre)
16 effects plus 1 global
16 timbres
FM going in osc1 , osc2, osc3, filter1 and filter 2
16 slot modulation matrix where anything can be modulated by anything.
25 polyphony
modificators ( mathematical equations on the modulation signal !!!!)
drive curves on any of the 2 filters (distortion units that make the sound harsher or warmer depending on the settings)
Envelops and Lfos aproaching audio range speed, which means that they can be used for FM - AM or any other type of sound synthesis !!!
brilliance (which adds frequencies outside the human audio range , found on many analog synths)
and the list goes on and on....
I own a blofeld , if you love to edit sounds , there is no better VA engine out there that is both powerful and dead easy to use. Not even Virus TI can compare really.
And like blofeld the same engine appears in mircroq, q and q+ .
