after i bought the blofeld (out of regret for selling my microwaveXT a few years before) it took me no time at all to figure the machine out. the thing i missed tho was a decent editor. i stopped using it for a while as i got lazy being used to having editors for hardware synths that actually work.

last saturday i finally stumbled upon what might be the only proper editor out there

http://www.monstrummedia.com/sw_mFeld.html

this thing just makes sense, everything is where it should be and to top it of it's not made by some money grabbing company but by an actual musician. which is prolly the reason why it works so well. turned out it was made by one of the guys from stromkern, i saw them live when i went out to see VAC live the only time they ever played in holland. this was kinda mindblowing, a vst controller made by a musician for musicians, this is what we need more of, it's logical and working (apart from a few thingy things that are firmware related as waldorf just released the FINAL firmware update for the blofeld, tho something tells me there whil be a follow up to this FINAL version as i noticed some things dont work as proper as they should, but hell atleast it bloody saves my presets unlike a certain tetr4 that would rather explode than save presets (yeah i went to a mopho as this one simply does simple work as it should) but i digress. the editor is cross platform and it's buy one platform = get all platforms, unlike some other companies that will charge you extra for having all os versions when you work cross platform as i do with FL-studio and Logic (yeah both on an imac, OMG he's using windows on an imac, sue me, with ponytail if possible, peggy sue reference right there, way to analog prolly)

anyways this is a sure recommender if you're looking for an editor for the blofeld, he also made on for the pulse2, microwave2/xt (oh how i miss it) and rocket. this guy knows what he's doing and he's doing a damn fine job

yeah i have looked at those but being a cross platform user i like my vsts the same on osx (for post production) as on windows (for producing, yeah i like FL studio) and this one offered both and even a linux version for 1 price. i'm also someone that like looks and the look and feel of the monstrumfeld is just good, eveything is where you expect it to be but this being a free country i cant force anybody into liking what i like (would be awesome tho, would boost up my cd sales like crazy, on the other hand it would tend to get boring). also this one is being kept up to date and adapts to new firmware and since we're talking about the blofeld we all know it took a long time for it to get a proper one and the vst from 2010 is prolly not working all to well anymore with all the changes that have been made since the 1.1x firmware. anyways it's just my opninion, i like stuff that is clear and easy on my eyes as i tend to stare at 3 screens for about 16h or more a day (if i get any sleep, insomnia anybody? )

Looks promising, especially the Multieditor! All the others are missing this feature except of monstrumfeld!? - but this is buggy.

I would buy this rekon stuff but without a demoing - no chance!
