How to update the Waldorf Blofeld

Download the Blofeld firmware zip from the downloads at the end of the Blofeld FAQ page and unzip it (one .mid file). Connect the Blofeld directly to the computer by USB, without a hub. With Spectre: in Audio/MIDI choose the Blofeld as MIDI output, click Upgrade, select the .mid file, wait until it reaches 100% and press Play on the Blofeld. Without Spectre: play the .mid file to the Blofeld from a DAW at 80 BPM with SysEx transmission enabled (not Ableton Live or Bitwig), or send it with SysEx Librarian (Mac) or MIDI-OX (Windows). Do not switch the Blofeld off; it restarts by itself. Blofeld Desktop and Keyboard use the same firmware.
