What Makes a Product a "Demo"?
At Sweetwater, "Demo" usually means one of the following:
  • It might have spent a little time in our display room.
  • A Sales Engineer may have put it through it's paces to explain it to customers.
  • It could have been tried out for a few days.
We treat demo models exactly as we treat new gear. You get a full manufacturer's warranty, as well as Sweetwater's commitment to customer satisfaction. Other than it having been in someone's hands or hanging on a rack for a brief period of time, it's as good as new - at a great bargain!

Please note that this product is available in limited or single quantities.

Superb, just superb at a cheap price

by Joeri Peeters from Belgium, Europe

Music Background: Sounddesigner
The Blofeld is typical waldorf with very warm filters. It can sound agressive, smooth, sweeping, industrial and the wavetables are great to play with.
It feels very sturdy, al metal components.... read more [+] No cheap plastic is used and the LCD is large enough.
The best thing is that it's small and cheap! There is also a free Polymoog Keyboard "Vox Humana" sound (remember Gary Numan's "Cars" available for FREE at www.vstream.be/Samples.html which makes the blofeld the cheapest reliable 'Gary Numan' available. close [-]

not such a big let down

by Armando from Chicago, IL

Music Background: Recording engineer, live sound, semi pro musician, and always a student.
the waldorf blofeld is a module that i've been waiting for since the NAMM show. i've always wanted a waldorf, but i've always been a little short on cash so i figured this would be a great investment.... read more [+] Waldorf claimed that it has the same sound engine that the Q had so i expected this thing to be the most amazing module ever made. when i picked it up, after about 2 months of waiting, i opened it up and expected the factory patches to sound amazing. i was disappointed, but this thing is great for making your own patches. it has soo many waveforms and effects that i never knew a synthesizer/module could have. this thing truly is a great module for pro's or beginners. close [-]
