Hi,

That's great! I bought MonstrumFeld and was never able to make it work
correctly. Your Biggleworth works fine here. I am looking forward for
the modulation matrix support! (where the real strength of the Blofeld
resides)

Just a few remarks. The display on top in Patch Editor is a little bit
cropped. I can see only half of the "Status:" line. I am using a 120dpi
display, if it helps. It happens even in full screen at 2560x1440,
which should be enough. Second remark: why PyQt4 and Python 2.7?
Wouldn't PyQt5 and Python 3.x be more future-proof?

But anyway, even at this preliminary stage, it works better than
MonstrumFeld.

-a.
