Well, since I have a Blofeld Keyboard Black Shadow Edition, I can attest to fact it is BUILT LIKE A TANK! The Fatar keys are exact same ones used on Virus KC and DSI Mono Evolver Keyboard, of which I own as well. Understand that I did not buy mine until the O.S. was stable as that's a pet peeve of mine with companies and there's only a few minor bugs yet to be addressed that relate to the arp sync on first note, but that's kind of a Waldorf thing because my Q has the exact same little bug. Fabulously deep and capable synth that compliments the Virus very well because of distinct filters, incredibly deep mod matrix, with my preferring Blofeld's envelopes and LFO's, yep, ALL FOUR each of them with choice of linear, algorithmic, bipolar/looping. The Virus of course excels in all of those too, and if I truly were to gripe about *anything* with Blofeld Keyboard, it would be the effects, which are nowhere near a Virus, and being able to run Blofeld through Virus effects make them so happy together I HOPE they produce an illegitimate LOVE CHILD one night. I think both the Virus KC and Blofeld Keyboard have bit of a craptastic mult-mode unless of course, you just use your DAW, which is work-around for both, have learned.
After all, many of the Waldorf Engineers went to work with Access for the brief time of bankruptcy mess in helping develop the Ti. So they actually share some "synth DNA" as far as brilliant minds.
**Seems more common now that ever for a new product upon release to either be incomplete or very buggy and it's beyond me why these companies actually utilize the SAME Beta-Testers most of the time because seems it's people that think and use/push their instruments 'outside the box' that catch all these 'bugs'.
Rant over...had to say something or my Blofeld would keep threatening my cat!
