AURA Plugins has introduced Waldorf Blofeld Editor & Librarian, a third-party editor for the Waldorf Blofeld.
Here’s what they have to say about it:
“With our Editor, you can work with your Waldorf Blofeld the same way you use your virtual instrument plug-ins.
Our Editor will recall your patch settings when you open your project and the data will be sent to your Blofeld automatically once you open your project. Your synthesizer is always synchronized with your session!
The only thing you need to worry, is that you power-up your synthesizer. We also added the ability to load in Waldorf microQ and Q patches!”
Features:
- Control Waldorf Blofeld desktop / Blofeld Keyboard synthesizer directly from your DAW.
- Automate almost every parameter directly from your DAW.
- No need to remember CC’s for each knobs / per synthesizer. Goodbye sticky notes!
- Load, Edit and Store patches into hardware memory or in your HDD personal library.
- Store any Waldorf microQ / Q / Blofeld compatible soundset in your HDD library folder and browse it from our plugin.
- Send banks or individual patches from librarian to hardware.
- Request banks or individual patches from hardware to librarian.
- Total Recall: When you reopen your project, all of the data used in it, will be sent to the hardware, automatically.
Pricing and Availability:
Waldorf Blofeld Editor & Librarian is available now for $69.95 USD.
Having already bought the Blofeld VST/editor, this wouldn’t be worth it unless there’s a cross-grade discount, but I definitely prefer the look of this over the Waldorf product.
We’re in 2025…
Where’s the linux version ?
You don’t need Linux support to use it on Linux, especially if it’s just an editor and doesn’t involve audio
no, but it is an extra layer of hassle when if they are using some of the industry standard plugin (e.g. juice or others) frameworks they could easily compiled a version for linux. I had the exact thought as the above comment. I will still think about getting this one as I have spent far too much time trying to find blofeld librarian that works well on linux (the ones that were developed in the past need fixes or have a few technical bugs), but the lack of a linux version for this software leads me to the thought “If I buy this will I find myself batting with wine configs and then not have working software?”

When using linux, it’s to execute linux apps, not windows nor mac apps with crapware adapetrs. 🙂
