Problema risolto
Oggi mi ha risposto tale Holger Steinbrink, del supporto Waldorf a cui avevo scritto. Istintivamente nella mia testa gli ho affibbiato la faccia di
Horst Tappert ......mi ha spiegato passo passo cosa dovevo fare, ed è filato tutto più che liscio
Di seguito vi incollo la mail di risposta che mi ha inviato:
"Hi Gabriele,
[[c]Hi, I've just received my new Blofeld Desktop synthesizer. I'm trying to u-pdate the firmware to the latest version (version 1.04 is onboard right now) with my Mac (Snow Leopard), but am encountering problems.
I've tried to use the app included in the 1.13 zip file, connecting the module via USB cable, it starts the Terminal application, which sends midi data (the MIDI light on the module lights up), but the module display doesn't change in any way. At the end the Terminal says "Process Complete", but the module doesn't reboot.
I've also tried to play the included midi file with my sequencer (Logic Pro 9), and also with Sysex Librarian, but it's just the same, no change on the display even if the MIDI Led lights up.
Have also tried all said with the 1.12 version, but the results are just identical.
Can you help me in any way?]

Here is the information how to get the Blofeld u-pdate running on a Mac computer:
Apple changed something in their USB MIDI driver in Mac OS X 10.5.7, which results in problems when connecting a USB High Speed device (480 MBit/s) such as the Blofeld.
Although it might work to send notes or controller data to it, it doesn't work to u-pdate the Blofeld Firmware/Samples/License SL anymore with the regular u-pdate procedure.
To work around this problem, we found out that it is sufficient to connect the Blofeld to an older USB 1.1 hub that offers a maximum data rate of 11 MBit/s. The Blofeld is then also detected as a 11 MBit/s device and the firmware/sample u-pdate works without problems.
Please follow these steps, to perform a Firmware u-pdate on Mac OS X 10.5.7 or later:
1. Connect the Blofeld to a USB 1.1 hub (fullspeed, 11 MBit/s).
2. Connect the USB 1.1 hub to a USB port on your Mac.
3. Start the Blofeld Firmware U-pdater or Spectre data transfer or License SL upgrade as usual.
All the Best,
Holger

Quindi un grande GRAZIE all'assistenza Waldorf
anche se per trovare un hub Usb 1.1 ho dovuto smontare un'intera ala della casa
