Yes, and not more knobs. I was a bit disappointed.

Sad

Well, here in Italy you can get the Blofeld for about 450 euros...
Getting the keyb version for about 900 euros...that price for such synth, in keyb version, should be quite a good deal.
BTW, I agree it's more than a studio synth instead of a live synth, nice for tweaking sounds live; some more knobs would have been appreciated Smile

Regards

Not a lot of Waldorf fans I guess.

I love the idea of loading your own samples and using those with the new sample oscillators ... that WILL be very cool indeed !!

WOW!
This is a cool new feature, which will be great for sound design!
...something like impulse for convolution reverbs...the limit is just your fantasy Cool

That feature alone would make me want it, since the only other VA with it is the very expensive Nord Wave.

Oh, I didn't know that the V-Synth GT had this feature!
Very cool feature, for sound designers is like a Christmas present Cool
The Nord Wave I suspect is not arrived at all here in Italy, I'll have to check to my local distributor, but I've never had the opportunity to try one!

also the previous V-synth version allows loading your own sample (and multi-sample) and to use them as waveform for digital oscillator.
In the GT this has been enhaced with AP-ArticulationPhrases for more realistic reproduction of acoustic instrument.

i tried the Nord wave in june here in Milan and i have to say it seems good when playing sample, but seems not as good as Classic Nord Lead regarding the VA section.
