The Melbourne Exchange

Waldorf Blofeld

Oscillators one and two, the mixer, filter one and the filter envelope, across four pages.

The Blofeld is three oscillators, two filters, four envelopes and three LFOs behind four encoders and a two-line display, so almost nothing on it is directly reachable. This puts the parts you actually play on knobs.

Five knobs are stepped with Waldorf's own labels. The oscillator octaves click through 128' down to 1/2', the shapes read pulse, saw, triangle, sine and the two alt waves, and the filter type gives you all eleven, from bypass through the four low and high pass slopes to both comb filters.

The oscillator semitone knobs are scaled to the synth's actual range, minus twelve to plus twelve, so the whole musical range uses the whole knob rather than a fifth of it.

Amp, filter two, the LFOs and the arpeggiator are in a companion setup.

Every CC and every detent position comes from Waldorf's own controller table.
