Ask a new OS for the Waldorf Blofeld or release the code as Open Source. Waldorf sold a lot of this amazing synth, but now looks as abandoned project, he never released OS updates, the latest release is still in beta and still contains bugs. Many musicians are frustrated by this, they consider the Blofeld a good machine but incomplete.

We just hit 250 signatures and it is clear that many people feel the same frustration with this instrument. My eyes are tired after looking at these bugs for so long but knowing I am not alone keeps me going.

The development silence on the Blofeld is becoming heavy but we are pushing forward. Please send the link to one other musician who still deals with these bugs so we can finally hit the next mark.

The response to this campaign is heavier than I expected but we are still stuck with a buggy instrument that deserves better. We need to push past the hundred mark so they can no longer pretend this is just a handful of annoyed users.

It could be right to have a proper SDK and the original source code (maybe is dumpable directly from the mb). This synth has the same capabilities of a Nord Modular Engine, better to take advantage of it!

Great synth, love it's sound. Needs better sync settings, so it can sync to external clock. Fingers crossed eh!

Sometimes I consider selling my Blofeld because it makes me so sad that there are so many things wring with it. I really don't want to do that... I had such high hopes.

I would buy a pulse 2 and maybe a rocket, but at the same time I feel abandoned as a customer and owner of a blofeld.. long time passed..new web site, but no news on a new os for this synth…if ever will be….

Jedes Mal, wenn ich in den Multitimbral-Modus gehen möchte, stürzt der Kasten ab. Werde ihn bei nächster Gelegenheit in Zahlung geben.
