Note: when you buy the album, an extra zip file will be included in the download with all the oscillators and presets. There are no pre recorded loops in this sound bank.

This sound bank uses multisampled instruments and it is focused on acoustic and electro acoustic instruments.
Its 128 presets follow roughly the MIDI GM specifications. It is not a true 100% General MIDI bank, because some instruments that i found not necessary were left out., It can be used, thought, in GM mode if you use the Blofeld in 16 MIDI channel multimode. You only have to press play in your MIDI player and the Blofeld will receive each MIDI track's program change and it will set the correct patches for each channel. The main goal with this project is to have a small orchestra inside a little box to use in live performances. The Pseudo has strings with many articulations, acoustic pianos, electric pianos, vocal choirs, acoustic basses, guitars, saxophones, trumpets, clarinets, vibraphones, xylophones, lots of exotic chromatic percussion and acoustic and electronic drums.

All the demos were made using the blofeld alone in single or multi mode and sequenced by a Roland MC-707.

All the presets are based in multi sampled instruments, except for the drum sounds.

All the percussion elements are tuned and can be played chromatically.

All the stabs and one shot vocals are tuned and can be played chromatically.
