Waldorf Microwave 1 - Presets/Patches Demo

[@Claude_van]

Could it be this is the best sounding synthesizer of all times?

[@jonhamilton48]

I bought these, and Sonic Freaks updated these to where they will load in the new Waldorf Software Plugin, grab these they are so beautiful, these sound Amazing!! Thank you Sonic Freaks !!

[@RayyMusik]

Perfect. 👍 Makes me think about the M again.

[@WaterfrontStudios]

Great work guys, these are some of the very best Microwave sounds I've ever heard (and I've heard all the cards).

[@sonic_freaks]

Thanks. We really appreciate your comment.

[@Johnsormani]

At the time most sounds that were made were for dance music, so pretty limited. The thing is so capable , from fat analog sounds to huge bass to digital and pads and everything inbetween

[@SynthAddict]

nice stuff, I sampled a friend's Microwave in the 90s on my Emax II - I only heard the presets and stuff on the TD Melrose album, but you guys did a great job here - I recently got a Microwave XT since the the MW1 is hard to get now and crazy money :-)

[@kropjesla01]

sounds great! I remember working with the Waldorf microwave, it has lots of power hidden under its hood. I used a programmer (sounddiver) which made programming a breeze... Without is it is a lot of menu's ...

[@thitnsa7554]

King of the pads!

[@thebmxband1t]

Gorgeous patches there. Theres so much going on in those tones they almost live and breath😳 I always remember this rack synth cos of its big red knob🤣🤣 mind you the designers deffo got that right, how can anyone forget that!🤣🤣🤣

[@uranusviol8or]

sold mine in the early 2000s for a couple of hundred bucks. crazy how the prices have gone through the roof lately 😕

[@kevinbeck9293]

Nice to see a patch named after Mike, RIP

[@sonic_freaks]

We're big fans of Mike so it was quite a shock to hear he passed away. Very sad.

[@kevinbeck9293]

​@@sonic_freaks a tribute I made for him: soundcloud.com/liquinth/26a (just a bought a Rev A for myself btw: I really like these patches, excited to play with them)

[@RedEmberRecords]

lovely

[@mmrva]

Fantastic patches and demo. Came here to rest my ears after listening to first Waldorf M demo..

[@Philnewera]

same

[@sonic_freaks]

Thanks for the compliment. Means a lot to us.

[@ObKling]

I also came here after listening to M demos. But do you think we’ve heard enough to be able to compare them? This demo, after all, has the advantage of reverb, which is smoothing some of the rough edges. I haven’t been persuaded by the M yet, but I’m definitely tempted.

some nice sounds!

[@marzzz1]

Will these work with the new Microwave M?

[@sonic_freaks]

We just converted our Microwave presets to the Waldorf M. They will be tested in the next few days and are available next week in our store,

[@marzzz1]

@@sonic_freaks Fantastic, thanks!

How does the sound of Largo/Largo2 compare to this? Can it keep up?

[@SoundPeer]

ooof, Huckabyswave is oh so very nice!

[@Jauly]

Very good! But these are not presets, those are custom patches.

[@lilakmonoke982]

It's only missing an interface for the 168 parameters.

[@Johnsormani]

You can now edit it with the waldorf vst

[@kevinsturges6957]

Now I must have. 😊

[@HannahMontanaPromo]

Microwave I did not feature a reverb as far as I remember. Why reverb on this demo?

[@RayyMusik]

A guitar doesn‘t feature a reverb either. Why are there so many guitars recorded with reverb then?

[@brhodes0]

@@RayyMusik And if you are demoing a guitar you can hear better what it can do without reverb. So what's your point ya 40 watt bulb?

[@pex3]

awesome

[@Paperbagman555]

10:11 wtf wait is that your guys own patch or did waldorf name it after the legendary techno duo?

[@sonic_freaks]

We (Sonic Freaks) did since we created this set of presets. And if you pay attention (7:20) you may notice another (late) techno legend we admire.

[@Paperbagman555]

@@sonic_freaksah i see. i didn't know about this other late techno legend, thank you i'll check him out

@@sonic_freaks so clean! thank you

[@gianlucamarchese]

If I buy these presets and import them into the new Waldorf M, everything will work or should I convert them in any way?

[@sonic_freaks]

Theoretically yes but I just received a Waldorf M directly from Waldorf and tried it and I was not happy with the result. So I'm currently adjusting them for the M so they match the video above. However, Its a lot of work. I'll also will create another 64 additional presets which take advantage of the new capabilities of the M. I hope to finish this at the end of next week. I'll post a new video which demo's the new presets asap.

[@gianlucamarchese]

@@sonic_freaks I'll wait for them then, Wave Sweeper is my favorite of the bunch! Thanks for your effort and work, can't wait to try them 😬

[@sonic_freaks]

@@gianlucamarchese The presets I already adjusted sound great. I've done Wave Sweeper and it sound almost identical.

[@Qliphirot]

Is it the rev A or B?

[@Claude_van]

Sounds like Rev B. But the MW sounds nice anyway. Mine sounds a bit different, it’s probably A.

[@samonik11]

I would like to know the answer of this question also :)

[@bitspacemusic]

Are you working on presets for the M?

[@sonic_freaks]

I'm in contact with Waldorf and they are planning to supply me with an M to create 64 new presets in addition to the 64 I already made for the Microwave. However, the M is out of stock at the moment and all demo models are being reviewed so I have to wait. But when I'm finished with the new 64 presets I will post it here and make a new video to demo them. Our current presets for the Microwave are compatible with the M but there are some minor differences due to importing issues. Not a deal breaker I heard from customers who bought our presets for the M.

[@sumchi3690]

Are all the stock wavetables only used?

[@sonic_freaks]

Yes. We used the original wavetables and the version 2.0 wavetables. Initially we also used some custom wavetables but it is hard to transfer them especially for end users. So we decided not to include those presets.

[@sumchi3690]

@@sonic_freaks Thanks
