'Blofeld': To make sure that every user is able to use the full potential of Blofeld, we offer a 50% discount for License SL between the 27th and 30th of May. Just use the following coupon code during your order in our: LS50OFF This makes the SL licence to 50€, if I’m right Still a bit pricey IMO, but pretty cool move Blofeld is a cool synth, you can get crazy sounds from it. I use it a lot from the Octatrack, so I use the knobs not that often.

I have no hum nor sign of degradation. If you have an OT, I definitely recommend it.

'insect': What cc parameters do you select on the octatrack to programm the blofeld? I guess one page for envs, one for the osc and one for the filter? The Blofeld has nearly 120 to choose from. There are only 10 CC slots per track on the OT.

If it were me, I would choose the general purpose CCs (1, 2, 4 etc) and the assignable MIDI modulation sources W, X, Y and Z because those have the most flexibility of use in the Blofeld’s modulation matrix. Or you might prefer volume, pan, FX1 mix level and FX2 mix level. Or the more traditional filter controls, oscillator levels, and oscillator pulsewidth controls. I have had my Blofeld KB for 5 years now.

Oct 10, 2013 - A hack like that would bring it back to my rack:). I even bought the SL Sample License for it; that feature really helped bring out a few.

The knobs are pretty loose but to make it worst lately my unit will not save global settings after shutdown. This includes saving multis. Not a huge issue but I have no idea what is causing it. Quick report for delphi xe2 professional. Every time I turn it on I have to set it to Local ON and change the midi channel to the one I am using these days since the settings can not be stored and saved. Other than that I am a huge Waldorf fan I just wish the hardware aspect of the Blofeld was up to Nord standards.

Such a shame since ever time I use the Blofeld I learn something new. The modulation matrix is killer. The kind of LoFi sounds you can get are endless and can not be properly described in words. When I searched online for “Blofeld noisy USB” it was striking how many had gotten the advice to look at their USB cables and perhaps ground them. Even from Waldorf. The only solid advice I’ve read so far, is get rid of the USB cable and use Midi cables. That solved it for me.

I’ve had a few synthesizers and peripherals with USB connections, and the Blofeld is the only one that had this problem, so the mystery of the noisy USB connection is likely just a poor USB integration in the Blofeld. Still love the synth and I’m happy that the problem is now gone.
