Waldorf has released a video teasing the Blofeld plugin, the software version of its best-selling desktop wavetable Synthesizer.
The music tech companies are slowly getting ready for the holidays. Some are still working hard. This includes Waldorf, who already brought us the excellent Microwave 1 as a plugin and iOS app this year.
Now, the next classic Waldorf Synthesizer will come as a plugin. In a new video called “No time to die!”, Waldorf is teasing the upcoming Blofeld Synthesizer as a plugin for macOS and Windows.
Waldorf Blofeld Plugin
In the new teaser video you can see the first elements of the Blofeld Synthesizer plugin GUI. There are no official details about the plugin yet, but you can already see a lot of things besides an AI-generated Blofeld villain
Suppose Waldorf makes it as authentic as the Microwave I plugin. In that case, we expect the same feature set as in the original synth, including three oscillators with all wavetables from the microwave II, XT/XTk, and all Q oscillator models, two multi-mode filters, filter FM, three LFOs, four envelopes, and more.
At the top of the GUI, you can also see tabs for “samples” and “multi” that give both the sample support and the 16-part multitimbrality of the hardware.
One problem with the Blofeld hardware synth so far has been a lack of quality editor/librarian software. Many were good but always had their weaknesses. I hope that Waldorf has considered this functionality in the plugin.
Hopefully, they also developed an iOS version as they did with the Microwave 1.
If the plugin comes out this year, it would be a nice end-of-year release. I can only say to stay tuned for all the details.
