Installation
There is not an installation procedure yet for Linux, just clone the repositoryand run the script in themain directory: Microsoft visual studio 2010 professional free download for windows 7.
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
Since I'm still in the middle of the development, a lot of (unexpected)things still happen.. Anyway.
- 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).

DESCRIPTION
Waldorf Blofeld Software Editor Mac
This is my first real creation with reaktor.
i got sick of there being no software editor for the blofeld on the mac OS platform.
so i decided to make one, unfortunately Reaktor doesn't allow sysex so i was limited to using CC changes so not all parameters are available but everything that can be controlled by CC's are ..
i've tested in Cubase 4 running standalone Reaktor via the inbuilt OS X IAC bus and it works great.
i also tested in Ableton live 8 but it will only allow you to use the editor in monitor mode, so you cant alter parameters from the editor whilst a clip is playing back only when monitoring . which is a strange limitation of Ableton. or of course i could be missing something.
you can, however, run the editor from the VST version of reaktor in Live.
hopefully this is of use to someone :)
