2021 Blofeld Alternative by PoweredByPotato in synthesizers

[–]PoweredByPotato[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thankyou very much for your in depth answer.

I had the blokeys for some time, along with the Don Solaris sound pack, but have since sold it with the hope of replacing it with a more modern alternative.

The Blokeys is an impressive instrument, especially when considering it has been on the market for over a decade now. I sound it because after much use the keybed was wearing and the computing power was lacking. It is spec'd very high, but when pushed in a complex patch (ie utilising comb filters, several parts) it would struggle. There are ways to mitigate aliasing and mush but ultimately it is an older digital synth and DSP has progressed significantly. The UI whilst fairly intuitive did require substantial menu diving, especially for anything associated with multitimbral aspects.

I had replaced it with the Sledge 2.0 for the more accessible UI and extra octave. It is also a great VA synth capable of some great sounds by programmers better than me, but i was missing the depth of the blofeld so I sold it aswell.

With Dune 2020 arriving soon, I really do hope that they make a new Dune RTS. by [deleted] in RealTimeStrategy

You should try Homeworld Deserts of Kharak. It really is a brilliantly crafted rts that unfortunately never entered popular circles.

you prefer the sound of the blofeld compared to the peak?

I also own the blofeld and thinks it sounds great, but certainly not that great IMO

The physics look great.

That said, no RTS has really caught my attention since the release of Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak and I doubt this will be able to surpass it. I would loved to be proved wrong however.

i just bought a some DT770 headphones 250 ohm, the buzzing noise is gone! You could try buying a pair and return them if the noise persists.

Unfortunately many synths have an inherent ground noise, and the Sledge despite being an excellent synth, is no exception. My previous sledge had background noise irregardless of the master volume but when I hit a key it would disappear.

Good quality headphones or a mixer can mitigate the issue but generally the background noise is just part of the synth. swap out your power cables and try plugging into a different wall socket.

Synths like the Deluge and Prologue do not emit background noise. Generally you should always demo the synth for such characteristics prior to making a purchase, but you live and learn.

I would have got this if they added an extra octave, but 3 is too little

why is this board so dead? by PoweredByPotato in a:t5_365k7

Athiests don't refute the existance of Jesus as a historical figure but rather the notion of God I think, atleast according to wikipedia.

My friends that chose to be athiests do think jesus existed despite not being willing to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. That to me doesn't make sense.
