Waldorf Blofeld questions! |
  |
|
I got a Waldorf Blofeld desktop synth about a week ago and I absolutely love it. For what I want to do with a polyphonic, it's all I'll ever need. Regardless, I've got a couple of questions and figured I'd ask them here, hoping someone can help out.
1) If I'm not mistaken, it seems like Multi Mode allows you to stack sounds/presets. The strange thing though, is when I try to simply change some parameters, nothing happens unlike when I'm in "normal Play mode". For example, when I go into Multi Mode (Shift + Sound/Multi), select a Part (press and hold the Play button, while I choose part w/ the Selection dial), for example, Part 1. Once I'm in the "part" that I want to be in, all I have to do is press Play for the Multi Mode "preset" sounds. The issue is when I scroll through the sounds I hear NO CHANGE at all (only one type of synth sound for all presets), according the manual I should be able to hear the sounds. No matter what I chose I get NO change in sound at all, same sound and no ability to change that sound. :despair: The name of the Multi Mode presets are there but I don't hear their sounds. What am I doing wrong? I've read the manual but still nothing...not much to the manual anyways.
2) Is there a simple way of getting just one oscillator to sound? I understand that I could take a preset and break it down until there's nothing but one oscillator but was wondering if there's an easier way to do that. |

Found out the answer so figured I'd share it here for others. To get a simple, 1 oscillator + filter (without all the modulations) do: Shift+Utility, scroll to Init Sound page, then you have to select Shift+Utility on that page again and it'll give you 1 oscillator and a filter and that's about it. Very easy, but it doesn't mention that in the manual or in any Google searches I came up with. Hope that helps someone!  |
