via Telmo on the Waldorf list:"I remember that some kind of vst editor was planned when the Blofeld was first announced. Unfortunately, it seems that it was dropped and efforts are focused on other things now...
I decided to start doing my own and I'm currently working on it in my free time.
You can have a look at it following the link below.
BlofeldVstEditor.zip [1]
This first version is in beta stage (not definitive parameter/ feature wise) and only features:
- sending/receiving CC parameters (all relevant documented CC ~100 parameters)- parameters saved with song and sent to Blofeld when project is reloaded
Note that this beta version expires the 30 october 2008. I'm still thinking on what the lincense will be. The software is provided with no guarantee. Comments, bug reports and suggestions are welcome...I learned a lot from the Blofeld while doing this. It is much more complex than it looks at first.
At this time, this editor is quite limited for real life use but already allows control over the most common parameters.
Usage:
- Load the VSTi as any other vst- Open the Blofeld vst editor window and select the correct "Midi Out" for your Blofeld- That's it... changing the parameters on the Blofeld should be reflected in the VST and the other way round.
Limitations:- No sysex supported, looking if I can do this.
Note that in Cubase 4, you'll have to deactivate the Blofeld midi out or you won't be able to select the Blofeld output in the vst (this might even crash C4, while seems to work fine in SX3)
Hope you like this.

I'm trying to get this working with Sonar 7 but so far I can't get Cakewalk to send any of the data from the Editor VST to my Blofeld.
ReplyDeleteThis looks really interesting but unfortunately it doesn't work in ableton live. Ableton crashes when you try to select midi out...
ReplyDeleteHey great idea to use this Blo Editor as a VSTi... unfortunately i came across this too late to try, expired date has gone.
ReplyDeleteSo good luck in refining what you have done, i for one will donate/pay for your Blo VSTi Editor... get bizeee lol... cheers. Z
