http://www.waldorfmusic.de/de/downloads/system/860-blofeldkbc13.html

"BlofeldKBC13.mid

This firmware for the Blofdeld Keyboard fixes a reported issue with some keyboards where unreliable note-on velocities were perceived when repeating notes with high release velocities. It is recommended for all Blofeld Keyboard, regardless if the issue is present or not. To perform this upgrade, please connect your Blofeld Keyboard to a PC or Mac and play the MIDI File BlofeldKBC13.mid to the Blofeld via USB. For Windows XP, we recommend using the Media Player, for all others you can use Spectre, which can be downloaded from our website www.waldorfmusic.de.

Note that this fix only applies to Blofeld Keyboard, the desktop version can not load this upgrade due to the lack of a keyboard MCU.

Regards,
Your Waldorf Team

The theremin is one of the most fascinating musical instruments of our times. It was invented in 1919 by the Russian Lew Sergejewitsch Termen (later known as Leon Theremin), a trained physicist and ambitious cello player. For many inventors, Lew Termen's creation was a starting point for experiments with the unlimited possibilities of electronic sound generation. His theremin, also known in popular language as the etherwave violin, nevertheless represents even today something unique among musical instruments: it is played without touching it. Electric fields radiated by the instrument are influenced through movements of both arms and hands. In this way, the pitch and volume of the instrument can be controlled. Through every gesture, through the smallest movements of the body, the musician has the possibility of creating melodies and of shaping music in the air with his or her hands. The young Leon Theremin himself was able to enchant a large concert-going audience both in Europe and the USA with these magical sounds. But despite such enthusiasm, the number of theremin virtuosi has always remained small. This is not least because of the fact that the instrument demands of the performer an extraordinarily sensitive control of the body.

"Everything's pretty well complete, need to do some more final testing and then it's ready to go in the next update.

When's the next update you ask? Well I want to include a couple of other things too (such as improved sample interpolation) so it's probably going to be sent to Apple early next week. Expect it to be available in the app store in approximately 3 weeks time!"
