New Waldorf Blofeld Layout (2014) - MIDI Designer Q&A

New Waldorf Blofeld Layout (2014)

I would like to share this Waldorf Blofeld template with you guys. The Waldorf Blofeld is a cool synth, but it has a well-known problem with various knobs. They stop being precise and sometimes the values jump everywhere when turning a knob. With this template I hope people can skip the knobs and just do what they bought the Blofeld for and that is create sounds.

Some explanations beforehand. The + buttons and - buttons next to some knobs /sliders increase or decrease the value of the knob with 1. It's for some extra precision when necessary.

Also, the FX for example. When you select an effect the parameters belonging to that effect will be highlighted.

I have tested the template a few times and it seems everything works ok. Should there still be errors let me know and I will see what I can do to fix them, but I can't promise anything. Feedback is appreciated. I am not the biggest Blofeld expert, but I own the synth. The workflow I created is based on how I think the workflow should be, but maybe there are some better options.

Here are the screen shots. Download link is at the end.

Have fun,

EZB

Former blob link: http://mididesigner . com/qa/?qa=blob&qa_blobid=4972181954516238485 - now attached below.

Edit: I updated the LED colors.

Edit 2: New version.

- Preset selection has been added.

- PWM Src list has been added.

- FM Src list has been added.

Bugs fixed

- Osc 2 and 3 momentary buttons have been fixed.

- Osc 3 doesn't have wavetables so wavetables have been removed.

Update 1.12:

- Effect parameters are highlighted.

- Arpeggiator has been optimized.

- Some bugs have been fixed.

- Rearrangement of some parameters so things can be set more precisely.

Beautiful Work, EZB! Now I've got another reason to push the Blofeld higher on my wish list!

Thanks. The Blofeld is one of the best synths to own. The price/sound quality is hard to beat. The knobs can be annoying, though.
