Top notch!
I love this app. Full of great sounds and a beautiful and functional UI. Great quality musis app, just like all of the other Waldorf apps for iOS. Keep it up guys!
Crash after crash after crash updated and still crash after crash
Cashed before update and still crashes every auv3 host , it’s unfit for f…ing purpose.
Oh my…
Never imagined how much fun and what amazing sounds this thing could make. Excellent interface, though some bits are quite tiny, still makes for wonderfully simple tweaks to the already quite fantastic presets. That FM Mode swept with a slow LFO and doused in reverb is a magical experience.
I’ve only messed with if for a couple of hours. I’m sure there will be some quibbles stumbled upon in time, but for now so glad to not be missing out on this well thought-out synth engine.

Another Winner!
I have ALL the Waldorf apps and they are, IMO, simply amazing! So much so, that I’ll likely pick up the PPG Wave 3.V for my laptop as well (perhaps others, if they are available; I’m a hardware synth user and an iPad musician, so using a pc is new territory to me!)
Keep up the astounding work!

Working perfect after update. Amazing app!
Beautiful Sounds
Sound ist großartig - leider aber noch buggy
Der Blofeld als App ist natürlich ein Traum! Ich nutze auch die Hardware und der Sound der App ist für mein Ohr absolut auf einer Ebene mit meine Blo.
Der Import meiner Userbank nebst Samples von der Hardware hat perfekt geklappt.
Leider treten bei mir aber noch Bugs auf: In AUM stürzt der Blofeld sehr oft ab, wenn ich eine gespeicherte Session lade. Das ist ein no-go für mich.
Des Weiteren ist die Blo-App unglaublich leistungshungrig - zwei bis drei Auv3-Instanzen in AUM bringen bei komplexen Sounds bereits die CPU von meinem iPad Pro zum kochen und es kommt zu cracklern.
Was ich zudem vermisse: Eine Favoriten-Funktion für die Patches wäre super.
Bitte nachbessern Waldorf, dann gibts von mir auf jeden Fall 5 Sterne für diesen tollen Synth!
Und wie immer: Bitte spendiert dem NAVE endlich Auv3-Support! :)
Update: Crashes in AuV3 Hosts wurden gefixed.

Excellent Sound!
Please make the Save button behave as “Save As”, with a name of current patch in the box showing, when you hit it. This would give users the option to either Overwrite, or save it as a new patch. Currently, saving the current patch as a New one is not straightforward at all, and tapping on the Save button overwrites your patch without any confirmations. I love creating presets in this awesome app, but it’s just unintuitive to save them.
Aside from that, the app is really great, includes many useful presets and most importantly, has really outstanding sound quality. I have many synths and I think this one definitely brings something new to my sound palette.

Well Done Waldorf!
Great App, great sound! Works well. A fantastic synth. Thank You Waldorf:)
Funktioniert nicht mehr nach Voicewechsel
Sobald man die Voice wechselt, ertönt ein kurzer Ton und danach hört man nichts mehr.
Nach Neustart das gleiche… manchmal hat man Glück und es funktioniert.

I forgot how much I like Blofeld
What I am getting makes me wish I had kept my hardware! No matter, I will cruise the for sale ads! Thanks Waldorf! What an awesome synth to load my own material into! Just the sound I’m looking for.
Multimode
Was sich mir leider nicht erschließt, ist die Zuweisung von Presets für die Parts im Multimode. Man kann den MM aktivieren und es werden auch 16 Parts als Midi Mixer dargestellt aber ich finde nirgends eine Zuweisung, welches Preset auf welchem Part 1-16 gespielt werden soll.
AUv3+Garagebandでの不具合はほぼ解決。あと一歩でパーフェクト
音はとても良いのですが、Ver1.0.3まではGaragebandと一緒にAUv3プラグインとして使おうとすると、Garagebandごと落ちる不具合が発生していました。
1.0.4以降、この不具合はなくなりましたが、GaragebandからBlofeldを起動すると、パッチのロード時間が異常に長い（15秒くらいかかる）不具合が1.0.5でも残っています。あと一歩なので頑張ってください。

Awesome app version of an awesome synth. Needs optimization
I have no problems running the app and AUv3 on my iPad Air 3. The UI is a bit janky but still very useable. There is now a spiritual successor of WaveGenerator and Cassini on the App Store. The serum wavetable import works extremely well, though some old sysex files don’t import properly. Also, I can’t run more than 7 instances at a high buffer. Otherwise, great synth for pads and trance

Zero presets at first but great sound and mostly decent UI
When I first opened it as an AUV3 as the other reviewer said, there were no presets. Deleted it, downloaded again, opened as standalone and there they were and they were still there this time in the AUV3 too. The hassle was not great, but the sounds truly are. I also have Microwave 1, the best AUV3 synth I’ve seen yet, and if you’re wondering about overlap like I was, this is well worth it for more incredible and very unique sounds at $12.99. The much more skeuomorphic Microwave 1 really shines in the UI experience too, but this is “just decent” in my opinion because it’s a shame that we couldn’t preserve the hands on experience of the blofeld device itself, which has a great physical design. This interface kind of seems like a web page to me, I don’t really get a good feeling of connection with an instrument like with “M1”. But I knew that I didn’t like the UI before I bought it and made the leap based on the sounds and they are simply excellent, hands down. It would be very, very nice to see an option for physical emulation mode based on the desktop hardware device in a future update, and then keep menu mode based on the plugin as it is here for those who prefer that

Crashes
This was an instabuy after many years of interest in the great sounding and versatile HW. Unfortunately it often doesn’t load (error) in my AUV3 hosts and when it does it often crashes. I have hundreds of AUV3’s that have never once crashed. Disappointing. Waldorf, please update and release a stable app.

Awesome synth, terrible performance
I own a hardware Blofeld and I gotta say I wasn’t expecting the software version to be less reliable. It even managed to crash whilst sitting idle overnight in AUM, which made my iPad overheat and stop charging.
That’s quite a feat on a M4 iPad Pro.
Like the hardware version, it’s an amazing synth but has problems that need sorting out before it’s reliable enough to use in a life situation, or even in a session with anything else of significance going on.
I look forward to updating my review in the future! 🙏

good sound, UI needs help
i love the sounds. the UI doesn’t scale well on iPad MINI so it makes pressing buttons difficult, especially presets and ARP. the button areas are just too small.
Ok
Beautiful sounds 👌 little heavy but Ok . Thanks
Blofeld keeps crashing in Logic Pro on my M4 iPad Pro

Truly stunning AUv3
This exceeds expectations. I was about to buy the hardware and just got it all for $12.99. The multi-mode is confusing but it does work.
