Waldorf Blofeld compliements the Snow?

[annikk.exe]

I remember a certain someone suggesting on here not long ago that the Moog Little Phatty was excellent to compliment the Virus (he owns both units). The sharp, cutting analog sound apparently cuts right through the mix and sits nice and upfront, just where you would want it to be.


With that said, the Blofeld is a gorgeous looking synth, and has a huge range of possibilities for sound sculpture - different possibilities from those offered by the Virus. I also imagine it to be very sharp and defined so it would probably do the job just as well as the Little Phatty. I have not used one, but I understand that it has a number of "german" quirks.

You might also consider a Korg MS2000, which i DO own. :> It has a powerful step sequencer - a feature not offered by the Virus - and emulates analog much better. It has the most gorgeous sounding saw waves... :> Most people report that they use it for crazy swirly effects and things. Who knows though, maybe you'd rather a bit more variation than another VA.
It's a pricy device but hopefully there will be a nice second hand one on e-bay for you :>

A word of warning on the MS2k though - if you think the distortion on the Virus is bad, the MS2K is infinitely worse. Distortion comes in the form of a magic "on/off" button. Turning it on makes almost any sound harsh and unusable. :P
