How to import wavetables into Blofeld
Waldorf MusicHardware synthVerified
Blofeld from Waldorf Music imports wavetables like this: import WAV or SysEx through Waldorf's plugin.
This guide gives the exact layout Blofeld expects, the step-by-step load, the Hyperwave export settings that match, and plain fixes for the import failures the documentation warns about.

What Blofeld expects
User wavetables reach the synth through Waldorf's official tools: the Blofeld plugin loads prepared SysEx/MIDI wavetables, or imports audio WAV with samples-per-wave selectable from 32 to 4,096 (the classic on-device table is 64 waves × 128 samples; the plugin thins larger wave counts on import).
Step by step
- Export from Hyperwave as a packed mono WAV, picking a samples-per-wave the Waldorf tools accept (32 to 4,096; 2,048 is Hyperwave's default).
- Import the WAV in the Blofeld plugin — Waldorf's official editor — which converts the audio, or load a ready-made SysEx wavetable file (a special MIDI-dump file some tools export) if you have one.
- Send the finished wavetable from the plugin over USB or MIDI into one of the Blofeld's user wavetable slots.
If something goes wrong
- My table lost waves on the way into the Blofeld.
- The plugin's 'Full Wavetable Range' import keeps only every fourth wave once a table passes 64 waves. Export 64 frames or fewer to keep every wave you drew.
Export settings for Blofeld
Blofeld has no dedicated export preset in Hyperwave.
The plugin imports audio WAV with samples-per-wave selectable from 32 to 4,096, so the default preset's 2,048-sample frames import directly. Keep the table at 64 frames or fewer — the plugin thins larger wave counts on import.
- Default — 2048 × 256
- 2,048 samples per frame × 256 frames · 32-bit float · 48 kHz
