Hi folks!
Time for another update. Today we’ve released new versions of Waldorf Blofeld, Pulse and Pulse 2 Editors. There quite a few things changed, so be sure to check them out. I will roll out another update for PulseX and Pulse2X during next couple of days, but it is only “cosmetic” update rather than “under the food” update.
So whats new? Well, a lot. I have been wrestling with the name issue on bloX where it dumps the arrangement to blofeld, but the first character on the multi / single patch name is not right. It turned out that even when my message content is what the synth expects it to be (including sysex checksum), the hardware translates the first character to something odd after a few dumps. It seems to be hardware issue more than software. Maybe it’s a memory buffer issue, I don’t know.
Waldorf bloX
Version 1.2.1 / 2020-09-25
* [New] Plug-in will now say if license can not be validated and prompts to locate the license file. It does not matter if license has .key or .txt extension to it, both are supported.
* [New] Import *.mqr (microQxR) or *.qxr (qXr) formats from bank edit -> import menu to librarian.
* [New] *.mqr (microQxR) and *.qxr (qXr) formats are now directly read from the Patches folder upon plug-in launch.
* [Fixed] license.key.txt is now automatically renamed to license.key when applying the license via patch librarian -> bank edit -> register plug-in.
* [Reminder] If user changes multi parameters while holding down left shift key, multi data will be sent to hardware when shift and parameter are released! Changing multi parameters will force the plug-in to send the entire arrangement data to hardware. If user wants to reduce the send load, mute parts that are not in use!
