Bigglesworth is an editor and librarian for the Waldorf Blofeld synthesizer.

Official website: http://bigglesworth.it

All packages include: 32 & 64-bit stand-alone editor & VST editor for Windows, Mac & Linux! Device Library Browse the device library; Share a device Post your work to the library; Device Details Device Overview. Name/Version: Waldorf Blofeld Editor 1.22: Author. Original Bank will be moved to /User/Documents/Mystery Islands Music/Waldorf microQxR Editor/Converted Banks/ after the conversion is done. Note that if bank contains Multi Files as well, they can be viewed only when Librarian is in Multi File Mode. Plug-in can now read Blofeld Patch files. Etech usb wlan driver. The Librarian doesn't know the current sound if you don't manually change it from the Blofeld, this means that if you manually send a sound dump from the Blofeld, it will not know what to do with it. If you want to edit a sound coming from the Blofeld, you have to select it by changing at least 2 sounds from it (I suppose it's a firmware bug).

This is a pre-release version, some of the features are not complete oravailable yet.

Installation

There is not an installation procedure yet for Linux, just clone the repositoryand run the script in themain directory:

For OSX and Windows, just visit the Releases page.

Usage

A small window will show, listing the latest version of the presets fromWaldorf, from here you can edit a sound by right clicking on it.

Bigglesworth will try to automatically connect to a Blofeld if it's connectedthrough USB, if not you'll have to connect it manually, using Patchage orQJackCtl, for example.

Remember that sound dumping (receiving sounds from the Blofeld) works only ifyou own a Blofeld Keyboard or by connecting it via USB, since the Desktopversion doesn't have a MIDI out port.

What works

  • Sound dumping (single, bank or full).
  • Sound parameters send/receive for the current sound in 'Sound Mode EditBuffer', not for Multi Mode.
  • Virtual keyboard from the Editor window.
  • Global parameters send/receive (requires USB connection the Desktop version,since both input and output MIDI is required)
  • MIDI connections (through menu and dialog), remember connections

What doesn't work (yet)

  • Multi Mode editing

Future

Apart from completing what is in the What doesn't work section aboveand fixing the whole Editor window, I'll add:

  • Factory/User library, even with custom libraries (older versions, etc.)
  • MIDI input and mapping, to allow the use of an external control surface, alsousing a 'live mode': a simple MIDI interface for the control surface, withoutthe need to load presets or the whole editor window
  • sound template 'favorites' library
  • arpeggiator template library
  • Online shared sound presets
  • coffee maker

Known issues

Waldorf Blofeld Editor Librarian

Since I'm still in the middle of the development, a lot of (unexpected)things still happen.. Anyway.

Waldorf Blofeld Editor Librarian

  • Windows releases are still buggy
  • widgets in the Editor window are ugly on HiDPI screens
  • some scaled dials don't look very good
  • the whole Editor window layout is temporary and resizing is allowed. Thismeans that the controls can look ugly and in unexpected places
  • the Librarian doesn't know the current sound if you don't manually change itfrom the Blofeld, this means that if you manually send a sound dump from theBlofeld, it will not know what to do with it.If you want to edit a sound coming from the Blofeld, you have to select it bychanging at least 2 sounds from it (I suppose it's a firmware bug).
