Waldorf SysEx Librarian & Patch Vault.

Rising from the ashes of PPG, Waldorf cemented Germany's reputation for cutting-edge digital wavetable synthesis. The legendary Waldorf Microwave I routed digital wavetables directly through Curtis CEM analog resonant filters, creating menacing, industrial timbres beloved by Nine Inch Nails and modern cinematic scorers. The modern Waldorf Blofeld packs thousands of wavetables and virtual analog oscillators into a sleek chassis. Bipluk provides fast, reliable Web MIDI SysEx patch management across the entire Waldorf catalog.
