New Blofeld System available

via Stefan Stenzel on the Waldorf list:

"Hello,

I just uploaded the firmware version 1.03 for Blofeld:

Blofeld_V1_03.zip

This is mainly to be considered a bugfix release, addressing many problems that users kindly reported to us. So the most prominent bugfixes are:

-PPG Filter in combination with wavetables without noise
-Phaser in FX1 slot without spurious crackling
-Parts 5..16 stereo and optional mix into FX2
-Only audible Effect parameters editable
-Eliminated spurious encoder crosstalk

There are many more bugs that have been fixed, but we are too embarrassed to admit those ever existed.

Regards,
Stefan"
