There’s a lot of toxicity in here. Waldorf are a way smaller company than Arturia so with development time & costs they may not have the option to release for free. That they have made this compatible with the hardware is to be applauded. Much like the Microwave app & plug in. And it’s ultimately really simple, vote with your wallets. Either buy it because you think it’s great to have a lovely editor and the benefit of it being available in your DAW. Or don’t buy it. 👍🏼
Thank you for this wonderful plugin! Could you please consider the following UI/UX feedback; 1. In "Synth" mode, after I tweak a preset (ie. change the cutoff) then change presets, I get a popup: "Your current preset has been changed. When switching to a new preset without saving, all changes will be lost" - This popup appears all the time and I can't see a way to disable it permanently. 2. In the "Presets" screen, sometimes the keyboard up and down keys to navigate presets don't work. (Logic Pro) 3. In "Synth" view, I would love to change presets using the left / right arrows on my keyboard. (Some other plugins use this functionality - ie. Sylenth) 4. In the "Synth" view preset name window, the left / right arrows are too small and too close to each other so it's difficult to change presets. 5. In the "Presets" browser, there is no way to sort the list by "Tags" 6. In Synth mode, I would like cycle through oscillator types, wavetables, filter types and all dropdown menus etc by hovering over the type and using the scroll wheel. It's extremely tedious to open the wavetable menu, then click again to select a wavetable, then repeat this 50 times to test different wavetables. Same for filters. While hovering over the field, ie."Lowpass 12db" I would like to scroll through the filters without having to constantly click to open the menu. Thank you!
Very nice! I was wondering will the soundsets on the Waldorf Site work in the plugin? I dont own the hardware, but just purchased the software for Mac OS
I just imported one of the old libraries - Alien Vanguard. There are some serious pitching issues and sound out of tune, I think it may be to do with the samples. Another one I have - Electric Body Machinery - worked absolutely fine.
You could make an update for the blofeld one day ? And give this to the owners... Watch Arturia... The blofeld Could be a legendary synth after years but you decide of doing nothing...
Sadly it’s not that easy. I believe that the developer took the code so Waldorf don’t have the access to it. Whether they can work together is another question and we can all live in hope. And who knows how easy it is to compile code for the DSP chip in 2024 that’s long since out of production. Again, we can hopefully see this plug in as a potential step forward towards a final OS update.
@@ikarugamoo and thats why they will fall... this is the worst marketing strategy i have seen in years. Sad for the people working here... They could sell tons of blofelds if they continued to give users some updates... I use this synth since 2008 (desktop and keyboard), look at there software named spectre, i can do better in 2 weeks of code, wtf we are in 2024...
@@ikarugamoo Waldorf a smaller company ? No, they are just falling cause of such bad marketing strategies. They could use all the open source engines you can find freely to make a cool granular update and so much more, they didn't move a finger since 2018 for this gem synth and this is sad really. I feel bad for the guys working in this compagny. Look at there 'spectre', i could code this bad software of 90s in 1 week or 2 and it will be far better than this...

I love you Waldorf, but plz stop doing shit, you could sell tons of blofelds, kyras (another gem) and more...
It’s so hard to feel good about Waldorf these days, everything they do just feels like an insult to longtime customers. Largo 2 was the final nail for me. I did come to have a look though, and it turned out to be a 15 minute tutorial about a preset browser… I love the Blofeld but in a few years this will be abandoned like most of their other software.
Not even taking the effort to record your own audio. You’re an audio company, come on! Listening to this monotone AI voice for more than 2 minutes is unbearable.
Horrible AI voice! I've been a PPG/Waldorf fan since the original Wave in the 80s but the presentation on this is dismal. I'll probably buy the software though....
I was all set to buy this -- I was reaching for my wallet, when I watched this. Look, if you all want to demonstrate contempt for your customers there are easier ways to do it than with this moronic AI slop.

Thanks, Waldorf for supporting classics!
I hope this plugin can edit or at least import custom wavetables. Looking forward for the next video!
Please can you explain how to export patches back to the hardware.

Does the plugin solves the issues with the midi sync of the arpegiator in the hardware unit?
using the same AI voice as Tomorrow's Teachings is pretty funny. LOL
pretty exciting, haven't had the chance to play with the hardware version but i'll def check this out!
Installed it, not seeing any presets tho, just the init patch 😅
this thing sounding massive

Just popped back to say that if you make sure your project is at 44.1Khz then everything is tune if a library uses the HGF Blofeld Waveset.

I thought this was some obscure album with a purposefully strange name
iOS version, please!😉👍🏻

Why do you charge VAT for US customers?

nice. this is what Largo2 should've been.
Wth is there so much dead space in this video? You couldn't have zoomed in so we can actually see what you're demoing? Classic Waldorf...
Why the AI voiceover? it feels cheap and scammy, really put me off :(

I considered buying it, but this makes me suspect that the programming is as sloppy as the marketing.
30 euro discount for owners of the hardware ... your taking the piss.
30 should be the price if you own the hardware
Korg takes 50 for owners of the hardware (Opsix/Wavestate/Modwave), Arturia = free! (Minifreak)
great plug-in, terrible UI experience.
I own a Blofeld. All I needed is a free editor/librarian. Now this... I hate Waldorf.
