Pitch Bend replacement for Waldorf Blofeld Keyboard
Channel: Leading Motive
Date: 21/09/2023

The pitch bend wheel on my Waldorf Blofeld Key started acting up, randomly sending values when resting in its center position (not just off by a few values but shooting huge spikes). In this video, I show how to attempt a fix and (if not successful) how to install a replacement.

A big thanks to the wonderful Waldorf support people. The parts were ordered directly from Waldorf at: https://waldorfmusic.com/produkt/pitch-mod-wheel-unit-blofeld-kb-stvc/

Another thing I learned not mentioned in the video: It seems you cannot unplug the pitch bend/modulation block as a temporary solution until replacement arrives, because (probably due the lack of resistance from the missing modulation potentiometer) the Key will then send continuous min/max modulation values.
