Common Waldorf Blofeld Questions
How do I configure the Blofeld to receive MIDI clock for syncing LFOs, arpeggiator, or the sequencer?
Navigate to the Global settings menu (Shift + LFO) and set the MIDI Clock parameter to 'Internal' or 'External' depending on your setup. If 'External' is selected, ensure your MIDI interface is transmitting clock information on the correct channel configured in the MIDI settings.
How do I save a sound I've created to a specific slot on the Blofeld?
Press the 'Write' button, use the encoders to select the desired sound bank and program number, and then press 'Write' again to confirm. Be aware that overwriting is permanent, so backup important sounds.
How do I load different wavetables or access the factory wavetables on the Blofeld?
In the Oscillator section, select Wavetable mode. Then, use the 'Wavetable' parameter and the data entry encoder to scroll through available wavetables and access the factory content.
My Blofeld is making no sound, even though the display is working. What should I check?
First, ensure the volume knob is turned up and that you've selected a valid patch. Then, verify that the MIDI channel being sent from your controller matches the Blofeld's MIDI receive channel in the Global settings.
What is the difference between the 'Single,' 'Multi,' and 'Comb' modes, and when should I use each one?
Single mode plays one sound at a time; Multi mode allows for layering multiple sounds simultaneously in a multitimbral setup; and Comb mode is a special setting used for creating comb filter effects by stacking multiple oscillator voices.
