Waldorf microwave XT : Diving Deeper

[@joaovilaca114]

Thank you for this videos on the MW2, I had one abandoned for 10+ years you made me rediscover how good the MW2 is for bass and pads.

Appreciate your fantastic XT showcases. You're doing some great patching as well. FINALLY, I have one of these coming to its new home. I recall late 90's when psychedelic trance was at a peak and I found myself at private party where the hosts were DJings. it was one of the DJ's house we were staying in. The next morning we were all Finished but relaxed with some good juices and this guy comes out to the livingroom with the Most Incredible piece of synth I have ever laid eyes on. The whole thing was fin' ORANGE and it just looked like a beautiful spaceship instrument panel. Mine and my friends' eyes were WIDE with curiosity. Then he plugged it into the little PA and ....My God it was full of Stars. Finally... now I am nearing 50 and finally I have the rack on the way. How long I have lusted after a classic Waldorf. The Blofeld I have had and LOVED for years, along with Largo software and Palm's various softwares have just kept my appetite so damn strong. I absolutely love WT and FM synthesis. I even had to get the Hydrasynth,, which I also LOVE. I cannot wait. I am dripping with anxiety to get my hands on this next week hopefully ;) A DREAM coming true. Thanks again. Will definitely be looking for a Q to go with it. They belong together. I feel it in my bones. Keep up the excellent documenting and design. Peace

Lovely, you might love the Yamaha FS1R, I got it since 1998 and love it.

Thank you. That one is on my wish list :)

Brilliant! What a synth

[@juno6]

The actual name is Microwave XT, not Micro XT. I mention it because if someone want to find it, he won't. Great demo anyway.

[@migueldoliveiracomposer]

Thank you. Good point. I nicknamed it without noticing.

I'm in love with the sound of this synth. Considering purchasing but concerned about the lack of tutorials out there and a few peeps have mentioned the manual isn't all that great. How have you found the learning curve and what would you look out for when purchasing one? Is there a good ay to check that the pots are working well? Cheers!

[@migueldoliveiracomposer]

Hi David I think pots on the microwave are far more reliable than the Q for ex. Haven't come across any issues. The manual isn't bad either + It can easily be found online for free ; ) The amount of knobs - instead of countless submenus, like a yamaha DX7 or a Roland MKS, etc.. - makes for a very smooth learning curve. Can't go wrong with a microwave XT

I'm the proud owner of a rare 30-voice XTK. You can consider the XT/K as a modern PPG. More than the recent M. XT's and MW's are wonder weapons. The M sounds dull. Sorry.
