Waldorf Wave 32 voices - some layered sounds

This WAVE is really very rare, I got it from Werner Schöneberger and it got a new developed PSU, which is capable to manage the 32 voices without any problems. I just layered some sounds and made a demo of ultra fat textures, with much stereo panning, fat drones, bells, choirs and pads. With 32 voices it is no problem to layer 4 sounds to get 8 voices or even more to get 6 voices left. I didn't use any FX in this video, I just recorded it live without overdubbing. This demo is dedicated to Werner Schönenberger, who developed the firmware of the Waldorf Wave and updated it until his sudden death. Rest in Peace and live forever in synth heaven, Werner.

One of the most beautiful sounding instruments ever created.

I'm glad you showed some layers sound. Because the wave was made mith the intention of layerd sounds... Especially the 32 voice. Most KZbin channels show only single sound patches and that doesn't the wave right... It's like having a Porsche and driving only with 80 km/h 😉m I only have a wave with 16 voices.. Wish I had the 32 voices.. I think I would layer like crazy. But I don't want to be ungrateful : I love my wave. And i am really grateful to have my dream synth 😍

R.I.P. Werner my friend. I also own a 16-voice Wave that was Werner’s until early 2000’s. Still use it to this day ❤

Simply beautiful. It has that very sought after "70/80s" raw power sound, unlike overprocessed generic sounds from the 2000s. Thanks for making this video🎹

[@vintagesynths]

Thanks very much. The third sound has in fact something like a Roland VP-330

Thank you so much

Incredible monster machine! Great video

[@vintagesynths]

Thank you Bernd, absolute awesome synth also to program. It’s in the range of a Schmidt synth.

Was ein Soundmonster!

Tolles Demo. RIP Werner Schönenberger.

I wish someone would do a demo of the wave with sounds that are useful.

wow !

[@realqwave]

A great sounding synth well played. And the edit buffer per sound and multi surviving switching the synth off, and the sound change not killing or changing releasing or hold notes ist still not available in this combination on todays synths.

[@vintagesynths]

Thanks very much. The sound not cutting away is really a great feature especially when performing live.

Merci What do repeated enveloppe ?👍

[@vintagesynths]

It’s a looped envelope, so it repeats

[@maltekrug9110]

Does the surface suffer like on my MicroWave and the MW-XT? The layer they put on the surfaces of their synths rubs off after all these years and it sucks.

[@realqwave]

It is not wearing off the problem here. But the paint starts to fall of around sharp corners and bends of the housing.

[@vintagesynths]

I’m fact it’s ok, but dust is very visible on the surface. The Nextel painting was not a good idea from Waldorf

ultrafat-lol

[@pinocarella_00]

bellissimo e potentissimo ma... per i miei gusti ha un suono troppo tedesco.

[@sK3LeTvM1]

Would you trade it for a 2.3 + Waveterm... ? ( I won't) 🙂
