Waldorf MicroWave 1 Single Sounds

[@PureAmbientDrone]

WOW sweet warm analog filters make this thing far from cold sounding! LOVE IT!

[@kapetantuka]

still the best demo of a synth on yt

[@robertdominguez6002]

such immense, rich sound. seems almost otherworldly

[@andrewgenner2613]

I try to watch everything with wavetables, but somehow have only just found this post. Great work and superb sounds. Perfect antidote for those who think WT sounds are all thin and harsh - they can be, but your demo shows there is so much more to WT synthesis than that. It is all down to the programming.

Lovely demo of the original MicroWAVE... very melodic and nostalgic at same time. I especially love the stepping S&H sequence starting at 4:20, incredible. Thanks for sharing... I recently picked up a MicroWAVE XT and am impressed with the capabilities and sounds of Waldorf synths.

[@minimlpimml]

sehr aufschlussreiches video...sogar die innereien werden benannt, dazu gelungene sounds.. sehr schön gemacht..

[@RayR]

@Echocaster I'm sure your English is much better then mine and most other American's German . Thanks for learning English so us synth fans can communicate.

[@Hugroroth]

I loooove these patches, first time I enjoy a gear demo video for itself, played it twice ;) I want one now.

[@Jim_KYB]

That pad at 3:35 is beautiful!

[@brandtrax]

These sounds are really amazing... among the best I've ever heard on the Microwave (and I own all of the original "Signature Edition" sound cards.) Do you have them for sale as SysEx files? They are really great!

[@ShimanskiBeats]

very cool sounds! Nicely done! The Microwave is one of my favourite synths.

[@VolcaRock]

Fantastische Sounds und klasse in Szene gesetzt , sowohl spielerisch als auch mit dem schönen Hall! Von wegen, MW kann nur brachial !

[@wzrdryav4740]

Excellent sounds, I am impressed.

[@fulge0903]

No modern wavetable synth can sound like this

[@lemontool]

Truly amazing stuff here. Both from the MicroWave but also your melodies. Would love to have the MIDI sequences that you wrote here and the patches for the MW1 if possible. I'd even pay $$ :) You rock man

[@Superlover]

der sound ist einfach fantastisch!

[@ms20user]

@Echocaster THX Echocaster :) The Blofeld is a very powerfull synthesizer,more like the Q. for the MW programming i use Sounddiver or Geerdes MW Editor for Atari. both are great tools to work with.in this case most of the Wavetables are from OS 2.0. greetz from HH :)

[@Echocaster]

@ms20user, natürlich ist er das wert :-). Ich denke dass kaum jemand weiss dass vom MW1 UND MW2 gerade mal 10000 Einheiten hergestellt wurden....Japanische Synths verkaufen sich sechsstellig.....Das dauert nicht mehr lange bis die alten Waldorfs astronomisch viel Geld kosten werden......

[@bobcoover6215]

Absolutely fantastic sounds. PPG all over again. Would you consider releasing the sounds, so those of us with a Microwave 1 could purchase them from you?

[@telkmx]

The sound at 4:37 is wonderfull Such aaa beaaaaasttt

[@ms20user]

@sauermusicDE Hello, this is a PCM 80.cheers for comment :) greetz

[@MrSpasticdancer]

that sound at around 4.30 is powerful as fuck

[@X-101]

I like the prefer the sound of this over the PPG

[@ottobyte]

Love it. Software still cannot compare to those filter sweeps.

[@ozorg]

your sounds are amazing! would you share the sysex files?

[@sauermusicDE]

I'm impressed by these icy sounding reverb effects. Which effect processor did you use?

[@TMA-Torsten_M._Abel]

Fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

[@ms20user]

@borisbunnik yes, these are the countdown waves R74= from 1 to 5 and R75=19/20. greetz.... :)

[@clusterchord1]

killer microwave patches..

[@myrddinemris]

6.12 is lovely

[@Echocaster]

Well done. Great Sounds.

[@synth4ever]

How did you create the alien voice at the end of the demo (7:36 - end) ??? Is it a particular preset patch or custom programming (if so what values)? It is SO cool... any tips would be much appreciated.

[@ms20user]

+synth4ever these presets are all programmed by myself ;)

[@synth4ever]

+ms20user Well done my friend, well done. :)

[@eddavivid2307]

Very nice sounds you have programmed there. It takes some patience and time to program this beauty but its worth it. Excellent

[@octakaoss]

Hey ms20user. Vielen Dank für das Video. Ich habe auch einen microwave. Allerdings die limitierte green edition. hehe. Eine Frage: Hast du patches zum austauschen? 3.40 finde ich super gut! Ist das ein Preset oder wie hast du das gemacht? lg aus Basel

[@Echocaster]

Hey ms20user, I'm still so impressed on your programming skills. Next week I will buy a MW. At the moment I use a Blofeld Desktop Synth. It's nice but analog filters with curtis chips are not beatable. Did u use an editor to create the sounds and did u took any soundcards with additional waveforms for this demo? Sry for my crap english, Im' a Kraut.

[@stephenwiley5617]

Hey ms20user.....any chance I could get these patches from you?!

[@Conforce]

Can you explain how you made the speech bot sounds with the countdown?? I'm looking for a way to make some speeches with it.

[@Echocaster]

@ms20user, hast Du gesehen dass die Dinger in übelsten Zustand mittlerweile für 500 Öcken bei EBay angeboten werden? Hab meinen für 299 angeboten bekommen, dem Verkäufer aber freiwillig 20 mehr gegeben weil der near mint ist :-). Grüße aus Kiel

[@HeadDress]

Holds up.

[@ms20user]

@Echocaster thanks a lot :)

[@stephenwiley5617]

What reverb did you use for this?

[@ms20user]

+stephen wiley i use aLexicon PCM 80 :)

[@ms20user]

@Echocaster Ja cool da hast du ein tolles Schnäppchen gemacht :) Für diesen wirklich Hervoragenden Synthesizer sind 500€ auch echt ok. gruß aus HH....

[@otisobl]

9 years after still one of my favorite demos. Great choice of sounds and very musical chords. What effects did you use?

[@drydessert4198]

Very often, the MW1 sounds like it has effects on already but it's actually just the original sound. That's one of the impressive things about the original MW. That doesn't mean that there are no effects in this demo. I wouldn't know. But it is possible that there aren't any on sounds where you would assume there are.

[@carriersignal]

Which fx processor are you using on this?

[@ms20user]

+carriersignal a lexicon pcm 80

[@carriersignal]

+ms20user: Nice. Lexicon has some great equipment! Fantastic demo of this great synth also.

[@bastiaanw3519]

What effect processor was used?

[@Deepwatermusic]

Very nice!

[@ms20user]

@matthiasdevisser thanks a lot :)

[@ms20user]

@Echocaster Synths made in Germany waren schon immer etwas Besonderes, und meistens Blau :) Ich werde meine MW 1 auch für immer Behalten :)

[@stephenwiley5617]

Is there any way you can send me these patches? I'd love to have them for my MicroWave 1 Rev A. I'm not nearly as good of a programmer as you!

[@ms20user]

+stephen wiley Sorry the Sounds are not available.

[@otisobl]

This makes me want to sample from a youtube video. ;-)

@@ms20user Now it's 4 years later... I had completely forgotten about this comment... and I am just setting up to... sample from a youtube video. :-D

[@AGFio]

Excellent.

[@Firstinversion899]

A great instrument, but can this Microwave play The Final Countdown?

[@mmrva]

Melting.

[@WV591]

Doesn't get more powerful than this. PPG with analog filters in a box. when I turn on this synth. all my FM's and Analogs start worrying and jumping out of rack embarrassed.

[@ms20user]

Thats the only truth ;)

[@WV591]

@@ms20user you can spend a life time exploring with this monster and to make things worse, add the additional wavetables from prophet synth.

thank you

[@spoortinga4482]

if you can't afford one you can buy a Keytek cts2000 synth. sounds almost the same!

[@kicksNCY]

great!!
