Waldorf Music Microwave 1 v1.0.0 RC2 Patched-Articstorm screenshot
August 2024 | VST2/VST3/AAX (modified) | ~570MB
The Microwave defined hybrid synthesis at its best with its unique interpretation of wavetable synthesis combined with analogue filters. Now Waldorf Music brings this magical instrument back to digital workstations worldwide with the release of the Microwave 1 Plug-in.

35 years ago Waldorf Music released its first instrument, the Microwave, which took the hearts of the leading musicians and producers of the nineties by storm. Its vibrate and distinctive sound transported the early wavetable sounds of the eighties into the rising electronic dance music of the following decade. Massive base lines, enigmatic wavetable modulations, brutal attacks and pads smooth like silk have been inspired generations of musicians. Microwave’s unique interpretation of wavetable synthesis combined with analogue filters defined what hybrid synthesis is at its best.

Now’s the time to bring back this magical instrument in a software form to the digital workstations of producers and musicians world-wide. The Waldorf Microwave 1 Plugin was painstakingly recreated from the original hardware with all its idiosyncrasies and wonderful singularities.

A multi-year effort and a labor of love which analyzed and modeled the original instruments down to the finest sonic details of every aspect of the hardware. Only the first generation of the Microwave and also the Waldorf Wave were based on a custom developed integrated circuit called the Waldorf ASIC. In combination with the legendary Curtis filter chips and a very unique 68k CPU based controller software the ASIC defined a very special flavor of wavetable sound unparalleled to none. No one else than the inventor of Wavetable Synthesis of the eighties, Wolfgang Palm, helped to design this unique chip. Waldorf took a huge effort to analyze and recreate this integrated circuit within the plug-in. As the original, the plug-in runs the internal synthesis with the ultra high sampling rate of 250 kHz regardless of the DAW sampling rate. The recreated digital waveforms have been bit-by-bit compared with the original to be 100% identical.
quickly Patched, hope R2R can make keygen! RC2, because thats what Waldorf has released.

EDIT: it shows demo license activated, but still works after the period ends, plays sound and it should save presets aswell. The demo period is just cosmetics.

Thanks! The GUI looks nice, but Xenia sounds much better, identical to the real hardware.

MW1 has analogue filters, while MW2/xt has digital filters, so it cant be identically to the hardware. Also the code comes possibly from the rework for Waldorf M.

Upside is that this plugin uses way less CPU than Xenia, so there is an advantage to use it.
If you want to supply something, you can. PM is open for that.

This is the Microwave 1, a different synth than Xenia which is Microwave II/XT

i dont have all my tools installed and it was kinda tricky that way.

also i think r2r/TCD did a good job.
