Okay, so this isn't new news, just an actual look at the synth in question. We all knew it was coming, but it was just a matter of when, that when is now. Shipping imminently as yer man says in the video the Blofeld Keyboard offers " the same powerful synthesizer engine as its desktop counterpart in a sleek housing with a great 4-octave keyboard, wheels MIDI In and Out, Sustain pedal connector and 60 MB sample memory."

You can also retrofit the RAM upgrade to your trusty Blofeld desktop too, for a mere $149.

Also announced was the Largo virtual instrument, offering the same powerful synthesizer engine as found in the Waldorf Q-, MicroQ- and Blofeld-synthesizers. With three oscillators, two with sub osc, band pass, high pass, low pass and notch filters with 12 dB and 24 dB slope.

Available soon in VSTi and Audio Units

The Largo looks great. I don't think I believe that it is coming in '30-60 days' though, if it all there is on the website is the spec sheet & no sound demos :O(

Anyone else out there have more information?

Any word on when Waldorf is releasing the Goldfinger? It's rumored to be the first all-analog poly synth that "models" digital wavetables via analog FM.

I bet it weighs a ton - it's the same indestructible adamantium top-plate as on the desktop model.

Fargo was a great movie. You don't hear that funny accent much in American cinema, which I think is a rare miss, those guys are really wasting one of their most valuable assets. You know that suitcase is really out there somewhere, buried to this day?
