Blofeld key action compared to Polar ti2 action?

[chimney chop]

i'm gonna trade in my access virus Polar ti2 to get a desktop ti2 and a Blofeld keyboard.

for the most part i really like the key action on the Polar. (the aftertouch is a bit harder to activate than i'd like but that's not a huge issue)


for those of you who've tried both..........how would you say the Blofeld action compares to the Polar?


thanks!

I had a Virus KB, but I assume the boards are equal. My Blofeld feels every bit as sturdy and nice to play, and the aftertouch is easy, but not overly sensitive. Overall, very fair fight between these 2.

cool, thanks Rick!

I'd do it anyway. On the Blofeld you still have 3 oscillators with all the usual analog waveforms, but all the wavetables available on two oscillators (most copied from the PPG Wave/microwaves) that you can sweep through with several modulations, like envelope, LFO, modwheel, aftertouch, manually. You just move a pointer through the range you want to.

Plus the filters are really well modelled, and it has a lovely effects section, even seperate overdrive on each filter.
They keyboard version also plays samples if you want to, sort of like the old Waveterm.
