'License for activating the sample memory of the Blofeld desktop synthesizer.License SL greatly expands the sonic potential of every Blofeld desktop. With this license installed, 60 megabytes of sample flash memory become available for factory and user samples.

Here's an experiment I did with one of my Blokeys. (plural) Set patch to INIT. Turned off Filter 1 to Bypass Selected Choir as a sample Set uninisono to 3 Set ADSR on amplitude to 0,0,128. 64 played some notes. You can not even get 4 notes polyphony Samples use more CPU than wavetables On my older Blokey, I deleted the sample set as the polyphony is not up to snuff I do not want a synth with LESS polyphony than my JX-3Ps (plural) I get by with the Wavetables and VA waveforms When I get my Sledge I will see if it is any better on the polyphony with samples ON the Waldorf Blofeld Facebook users group I try to dissaude people from spending the $100 CDN on the sample upgrade, AND both my Blokeys come with it built in! I do not think it is worth the price of admission!

In theory but not always. Samples and wavetables take more polyphony away from the Blofeld than regular VA. Comb filters have a cost as well as PPG filter, modulator and modifier slots as well. Most patches I program use one VA oscilator, unisono at 3, I use all the modulation slots and most of the modifiers, I usually use 1 but sometimes 2 filters. I just got a blofeld, the guy said it had the license, but it doesnt. No comment on the above; but always strange how Waldorf has done this. I try to get polyphony to be about par to a JX-3P, 6.

I have programmed over 256 custom patches and I do know the ins and outs and limitations of the Blofeld. In theory but not always.

I personally wouldn't waste the money on it if I had it to do over. It's cooler in theory than reality.I've been borrowing a friend's Blofeld w/SL Glad I am before buying. I won't be getting an SL option.

You're absolutely right. Samples are only worth it if you plan to use multi mode a good deal, and if that's the case good luck.

I found Blofeld in sound mode + Nord Drum to be much more enjoyable than Blofeld in multi mode running drum samples. If you want to do it all on Blofeld, samples help. The workflow is atrocious, however. Usually Waldorf has 30% discount during x-mass and music shows like music messe. Sample option does what it says on the box. People usually multi sample mellotron or some other strange instrument and add filters, FM and sub oscillators. It works fine for that.That's not always the case.

There's been long periods where they don't have any sales. And it's hit and miss because if they have a sale, it's usually not on all their plugins or cheaper gear, it's just a select few. Can't even remember the last time they had Lector on sale. Oops So sorry about that guys, i honestly didn't notice that it started 27th.

So, since people here seem to be wanting to buy it at 50% off, i assume it's worth it?If I understand correctly, it opens the Blo up to importing samples and allows you to use some of the commercially available soundsets that require it. The additional factory samples sound pretty basic (though it includes a piano and a few other odds and ends), so the appeal is really in importing new samples and/or grabbing one of those soundsets. I am brand new to the Blofeld and wasn't planning on adding the SL until a sale like this came along. So perfect timing.
