But for my interests, the Poly Evolver Keyboard was easily the better choice. Your musical needs are probably quite different from mine. The effect of researching the Blofeld was a renewed appreciation for the Poly Evolver: its longer keybed, superb interface, flawless parameter performance on the PE, excellent quality sound in recording, and a preference for the very digital wave shapes that the PEK offers. In the end, I decided not to go with the Blofeld for the usual simple reasons: the shorter keyboard, the matrix control panel and menu diving, the somewhat poor encoder performance, claims that it has a low output level and is a bit hissy (which can be heard in some of the YouTube videos), as well as the expectation that Waldorf would be replacing the instrument before long. So, the internal debate was between the Blofeld and an eight-voice Poly Evolver Keyboard as pad machines. I have interest in only minimal digital synthesis - primarily pads - and it clearly does a fine job at these. It also apparently has an excellent keybed. It sounded quite beautiful and I was impressed by it. I have no first hand experience with the instrument, but I listened to every video over and over. I was seriously considering a Blofeld a while back for about a year.
