Wave-table Creator for Waldorf Blofeld

shreeswifty's icon

Hello

I have a Waldorf Blofeld Hardware Synthesier and it allows you to load in your own Wavetables into 128 USER WAVETABLE banks i think. I was wondering if anyone on here has attempted to create one or perhaps with M4L. I would like to take existing files or folders of files and convert them after setting some parameters obviously. I am not sure how to start other than consulting the Blofeld manual, but i wanted to ask here first in case someone has already made such a thing.

Thank you for any and all suggestions

Thanks Roman but that is actually a PAY editor for the Blofeld. It does not create wave-tables for the Blofeld to use. There are quite a few editors of many flavors and for many different applications TB Midi Stuff, Monstrumfeld, Patch Morpher, TouchOSC etc. but NONE as of yet can do what i am talking about. Take a soundfile and transform it into a usable wave table for Blofeld to use as an "Oscillator" When it works and with the SYSX files i have loaded the Blofeld sounds amazing. That is why there is a desire to create my own. The current tools for creating wave tables for the Blofeld are rather arcane and WINODWS only currently.

Thanks

did not know it is a closed project, but you will find examples for various other synths on the net, where you can see how the sysex stuff works.

but i dont really know how a "triplet" of 21 bit numbers should look like. :) a quick visit in one of the inofficial waldorf mailing lists will reveal this secret when the right people are there.
