Faithful recreation of Waldorf’s first generation Microwave Synthesizer based on the famous Waldorf ASIC chip (Application Specific Integrated Circuit).

Digital Section (ASIC)

  • Internally running with 250 kHz sampling rate to match original ASIC sampling rate.
  • Modeling of digital-to-analog converters for each voice (DAC).
  • Two oscillators based on same wavetable per multi instrument.
  • Unique digital noise generator based on ASIC technology.
  • Digital mixer of oscillators and noise based on original ASIC including overflow bug.
  • Faithful recreation of non-interpolated pitch generation.

Wavetables

  • All original wavetables of Microwave 1 based on the original coding and bit-identical to original.
  • Including algorithmic and speech wavetables.
  • Faithful recreation of 8-bit quantization and aliasing.
  • Easy to use wavetable editor based on internal control tables.
  • Full waveform catalogue of original instrument can be accessed.
  • User waveform editor.

Filter

  • Faithful modeling of revision A and B analogue filters.
  • Voice individual calibration of cutoff and resonance to model detuned hardware.
  • Cutoff and resonance modulations.
  • Frequency response graphic animated by live modulations

Amplifier

  • Modeling of voltage controlled analogue amplifiers and panning section.
  • Faithful recreation of control voltage DACs including stepping effects.

Modulators

  • Recreation of unique envelope and LFO timings based of original 68k code.
  • Modeling of beautiful micro variations in timings due to limitations of the original hardware.
  • Filter envelope with ADSR and additional delay parameter.
  • Volume envelope with ADSR.
  • All filter and volume envelope timings and levels can be modulated.
  • Unique 8 stage wave envelope with variable key-off point and looping.
  • Wave envelope levels and timings can be modulated.
  • Attack-Decay envelope for LFO1 with additional delay.
  • 2 LFOs with various waveforms, symmetry and humanize parameters.
  • LFOs can be phase shifted to each other.
  • LFO1 with global option, rate & level modulation.

Non-Standard Tunings

  • 4 user tunings can be individually edited.
  • Will be stored into user presets.

Multi-Mode

  • Up to 8 instruments which can be layered and split or any combination of both.
  • Split by key zone and velocity range.
  • Multi instrument mixer with volume, panning, detuning, transpose and many more parameters.
  • Individual tuning per instrument possible,
  • Huge catalogue of all original multi sounds.

Polyphony

  • 8 voice polyphony like the original hardware.
  • Dynamic assignment of the voices to the multi instruments.

Presets

  • All factory single and multi presets included.
  • 5 additional original sound sets.
  • 2 new sound sets from contemporary sound designers.
  • Can import original .mid and .syx files with preset dumps including user tables and wavetables.
  • User presets store all additional data like user wavetables and tuning & velocity tables.

Hardware Control

  • Plug-in can be used to control original hard in single mode via MIDI interface,
  • Control optionally in live mode where each control is transferred automatically.

Extras
