Official website: http://bigglesworth.it

This is a pre-release version, some of the features are not complete oravailable yet.

Features

Features in italics are still under development

• Works on Linux, OSX and Windows (OSX/Windows releases are experimental)
• Direct sound parameter editing
• Virtual keyboard (with input from the computer keyboard)
• Dumping sounds from Blofeld
• Dumping sounds to Blofeld
• Organizing sounds and adding/restoring them from factory presets
• Import sounds and sound sets from .MID files
• Import sounds from .syx files
• Wavetable editor

Linux requirements

• Python 2.7
• PyQt4 >= 4.11.1 with QtMultimedia support (not mandatory, required for audio previews in the Wavetable editor)
• pyalsa

Windows requirements

• Windows XP with Visual C++ 2008 SP (usually already installed)

Installation

There is not an installation procedure yet for Linux, just clone the repositoryand run the script in themain directory:

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).

The VST-AU Blofeld Editor™ includes both advanced Patch Manager and Multi Manager views that allow you to manage your patches and banks easily in one view. See below for some of the features. Click the 'View Product Screens' link above to see what this view looks like.
Here's just some of the amazing and useful features the Patch Manager/Multi Manager views offers:

• Rename patches with with ease.

• Export all individual patches in the bank as .syx or .fxp files with one click.

MIDI Input and Output Monitoring

The Midi Monitor view allows you to view all MIDI data coming in to and out of the VST-AU Blofeld Editor™ . Easily switch between Input and Output views of both Host and Editor/Synth MIDI input and output data. You can even copy the data from the event logs for pasting and saving into standard text editors or other applications. Click the 'View Product Screens' link above to see what this view looks like.

MIDI Setup

The VST-AU Blofeld Editor™ is based on an entirely new framework that allows you to select the MIDI input and output ports directly from within the editor itself. This allows you to send and receive MIDI system exclusive data, a feature not found in most VST-AU hosts or our previous product offerings. You are no longer limited by host system exclusive in-capabilities.
MIDI Setup allows you to filter specific MIDI messages from all MIDI data paths from the DAW host, Editor and Synth. Absolute control of the data paths allow for complex MIDI setups that can be saved and loaded for specific applications. By using specific MIDI Setups for different instances of the plug-in, you can now use multiple instances of the plug-in for multiple machine control.
