Ernst Stavro Blofeld is a fictional character and a supervillain from the James Bond series of novels and films, who was created by Ian Fleming. An evil genius with aspirations of world domination, he is the archenemy of the British Secret Service agent James Bond. Blofeld is head of the global criminal organisation SPECTRE and is commonly referred to as Number 1, an official numerical position given to members of SPECTRE. The character was originally written by Fleming as a physically massive man, standing around 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) and weighing 21.6 stone (about 300 pounds (140 kg)), and very powerfully built.
Blofeld appears or is heard in three novels: Thunderball; On Her Majesty's Secret Service; and You Only Live Twice; as well as seven films from Eon Productions: From Russia with Love (1963); Thunderball (1965); You Only Live Twice (1967); On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969); Diamonds Are Forever (1971); For Your Eyes Only (1981) (the pre-title sequence of which shows an unnamed character resembling him fall to his death); and Spectre (2015). He also appears in Never Say Never Again (1983), the non-Eon remake of Thunderball.
The Waldorf Blofeld is a synthesizer combining virtual analogue synthesis with wavetable synthesis, and FM synthesis. It is available as a small desktop unit and as a 49 key velocity and aftertouch sensitive keyboard version. The keyboard version features some extra controls such as two performance wheels and up/down transpose keys to shift the keyboard range up and down. It was named after Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the leader of the fictional SPECTRE from Ian Fleming's James Bond series. Two subsequent Waldorf synthesizers were named after Bond villains (the Stromberg and Largo). Spectre is also the name of the Waldorf application for sending sound files to the machine, providing the user owns a license.
The 25-voice, 16 part multitimbral instrument is marketed as a low-cost unit that can reproduce the sounds from previous Waldorf synthesizers in the Q and Wave lines.
Both versions feature a stereo output, headphone output and a USB port for computer control and firmware updates. The desktop unit has MIDI In and the keyboard unit has both In and Out. The desktop unit is powered by a wall wart power supply.

Standing on the outside, I don't know where I'm going to
But I do know just one thing, and that is it's over with you
I've been very lonely, I did not think I could go on
I was caught - in memories, and dreams I should have won
Blind Freddy knew that, a blind man could see
I was in love with you, but you weren't in love with me
Suppose I'll have to keep it, keep it inside, I don't know why
Well I know, that it won't change it, but baby, it helps if I cry
Blind Freddy knew that, a blind man could see
I was in love with you (in love with you)
But you weren't in love with me
It used to be so perfect (so perfect)
It used to be so perfect (so perfect)
lovin' you (used to be so perfect lovin' you)
It used to be so perfect,
it used to be so perfect
lovin' you (used to be so perfect)
So now I'm standing on the outside, I don't know where I'm going to
But I do know just one thing, and that is it's over with you
Blind Freddy knew that, a blind man could see
I was in love with you (in love with you)
But you weren't in love with me
Blind Freddy knew that, yes he knew it
A blind man could see, yes he could, yes he could
I was in love with you (in love with you)
But you weren't in love with me (you weren't in love with me)
My baby's not in love (you weren't in love with me)
Weren't in love, weren't in love (you weren't in love with me)
My baby's not in love (you weren't in love wi-ith me)
Weren't in love, weren't in love (you weren't in love with me)
Weren't in love, weren't in love (you weren't in love with me)
