Waldorf Blofeld Keyboard- v1.12 can you do splits??
Waldorf is vague about what the updates allow you to do.

Saving Splits in multi-mode would be a god send!!!

Thanks for any insight!

Just downloaded the firmware update for my Blofeld keyboard.

And yes you can! I haven't messed with it much but so far i've made a split with a bass and a lead, and assigned the pitch and mod wheel to only the lead part.

It looks like you can even do multiple splits, there is a menu where you assign any of the 16 channels to any section of keys on the keyboard. For example, one sound for the bottom octave, another sound for the next 6 keys, a 3rd sound for the next 2 keys, and a 4th for the rest of the keyboard. Also looks like you can overlap your splits. I haven't gone to far into this as I just updated literally 15 minutes ago.

I've dug my Blofeld so far but getting that split set up was the first time it got me rigid!

Tell us about the sampling. Can you dump long samples in or only single cycles? Can you even load in your own samples???\

How is the feel of the keyboard compared to say, a nord lead or virus?
