Waldorf Blofeld Remote v1.25

This is a Max4Live Device to control the Waldorf Blofeld.

You can import all Programs or just a Bank to reflect settings in the Synth. 

This way it is easier to dive into the complexity of this synth's architecture.

Instead of having a huge/long UI to access all the Parameters, the Tab-Design is more suitable to have everything you need visually under control.  

A Floating Window is in development.

Multimode is still incomplete and isn't activated yet, but will come.

Although it works already with multiple Devices, each routed to its own Channel.

You can switch the communication from "only Sysex" to "Midi-CC mixed with Sysex".

There are also 8 Quick-Access Dials where you can link your favorite

controls and have them always accessible. With these controls it's also possible to morph or control all 8 Dials at a time when Midimapping them.

Helpfile included. Just look for the "?".

Still some little quirks to solve and much more to come.

This is only the first release. Once bought you'll get updates for free, as always.

Note: 

You should always disable the Midi-in Port in Abletons Preferences ! This way you avoid 

unnecessary Miditraffic from the incoming Midiports. ( In Ableton: you still can't decide which Midi-in should send to All-in and which should not) 

Then choose the Blofeld's Midi-in in the Device itself and in the "external Device" afterwards choose Blofeld's Midi-Out.

When done so, you are ready to import your Banks/Patches.

v1.25

         Now with Floating Windows! 

         Click on "F" to fix the Tabs on Screen.

v1.24

         Minor Bugfixes. 

         Some reported Import-Issues. Should be fixed now.

         Better usage in Multimode (Multimixer etc. still under construction)...usable FXs

         are either accessible or greyed out. 

         Quick Controls are now Midi-mapable. This means you can morph 8 Controls with 

         just one or more Midi-Controller i.e. Modulationwheel etc.

         When Quick Controls are automated, it also automates the assigned Parameter, but    

         but it's greyed out. When you change the Quick-Control assigned Parameter you  

         just have to re-enable the Automation on the previous Parameter itself.

         Smaller Size - faster loading. ;)

v1.23 internal use...skipped

v1.22

         You can now save/load your Patches as file. Before it was only saved in the Project.

         WIN MAC as single File again. There's an autodetection for Graphic-corrections 

         related to OS. 

         Midi-in LED indicates if receiving a Patch (red) or Parameterchanges (blue).

v1.20

          WIN and MAC have separate Files now due to some graphic issues on the Windows-side.

          Importstructure rebuild. 

          Windows should just use INT with Abletons Midiport for Blofeld reenabled.

v1.18

          You can switch between Midi from Ableton (INT) or from an external Port (EXT).

          To use INT-Port , Midi-in has to be enabled in Abletons Preferences.

          A little "E" near "Bank" and "Prg" now indicates whenever a Sound was edited. 

v1.17 

          first official Release. Custom Fonts included but also added to download them

          separately.

imp.midi by David Butler is used and implemented in this Device. 

If you disable the Midi-in Port in Ableton, it should also work in Windows, since 

Windows still isn't Midi-Multiclient capable.
