September 15, 2008, Santa Barbara, CA: Just when you thought it was safe to venture into your local music emporium, the sonic madness that is Blofeld has been reincarnated as a fiendishly elegant keyboard, complete with a devastating 60MB of user sample memory, killer semi-weighted keyboard action, and a deceptively alluring armored exterior.
Set to arrive in stores in the coming weeks, the new board is already creating havoc among users clamoring to be the first to generate sonic mayhem with its explosive synth engine.
The brilliant bald madman behind the machine was obviously pleased with his latest offering, yet visibly upset by the positive reception it was getting from his intended victims. When queried, he sighed "Yah, I know, da keys is my finest vork ever, yah. But dis machine has ruint my reputation. Dey all love it so much. I vanted them to be miserable. I vanted them to fear me! Ach du lieber! Vat's a poor, demonic psychopath to do?"
One glance at the feature set, and it's not hard to see why the keyboard is stirring strong feelings of desire, not dread, among its target audience. To wit: All of the critically-acclaimed features of the Blofeld module are present, including:
Virtual analog, wavetable, and sample-based oscillators

"Hokay. So maybe I haf to tone down da evildoings for da next few months, yah" Mr. Blofeld lamented. "But come next year, make no mistake: I vill scare your panties off! Bwaa, haa, haa!"
