been loving the recent drops from the new season! the first two episodes were a bit too "south-park" esque in the topical attacks of culture. which landed 2 years too late to be relevant.. But they stopped doing that and went back to just making inter-story focused episodes! the most recent drop with bender being a matador was great!

Right! Waldorf often gets overlooked, and then once you catch wind of something in the Waldorf lane, you go down a rabbit hole. They had so many unique synths.

[@nsjx]

wt customization is nice once u get in it. also to stay compatible w hw one has to stack sources to get slightly incr mod depth. of course that's really only possible w certain destinations anyway, but useful. love the limits due to being based on classic hw ;) finding some minor glitches but on the whole very stable release imo

[@doodoogtube]

I love it!😍 Classic House for sure…I always thought these types of stabs were muted and filtered organs sounds.🙄 I would’ve bought the hardware long time ago just for House stabs.🤦🏾‍♂ 🧐Sold!!!…to the black man cheesin’😁👍🏾👍🏾

[@Thought-Forms]

There were totally a lot of filtered organ sounds too! M1 with some organ oscillators, or even some FM "organy" sounds (TX81Z) The legend, Mike Huckaby, used the Waldorf Wave a ton and that man was a wizard - if that's any vote of confidence for Waldorf synthesis!

[@doodoogtube]

[@Thought-Forms]

Microwave and lot of other Waldorf synths from the era! (the Wave especially)

[@gems_wanted]

these stabs feel like summer nights 😩

[@george261203]

Great vid, thanks..sounds amazing...How does this compare to the stock Ableton wavetable synth?

[@robjanssen7420]

The part that always surprised me in a sense was that the Microwave (and the MW2, and the XT) only uses a single wavetable for both oscillators, instead of two individual ones like any other wavetable synth out there. I've also never heard that particular character in other synths. I know the MW's wavetables are in that sense simpler (and if I recall they're always mirrored since only half of it gets stored) than anything you get out of modern WT synths.

[@Claude_van]

Yes, the PPG Wave was the old noble count, and the microwave was the rough proletarian grandson. It was like me and mini me.😊

[@craigsurette3438]

I absoutely appreciate the attention to detail to make a vst clone of the Microwave. However, for 150$ i would want more modern features, such as more modulation options etc That said, it sounds frigging fantastic.

[@TheFBK69]

I think they have to keep in mind that the M also exists and has a lot of MW1 features and more. I know it costs a lot more and it's physical hardware but I believe if you look at their line of products the M already fills the role of modern features and more modulation options with that original MW1 sound.

[@GreenShark4]

Can't you just modulate parameters with your DAW?

[@craigsurette3438]

@@GreenShark4 I can , technically, but at least with Reaper in my setup, it starts getting VERY cpu "expensive" to set up even basic modulation of things, like panning or sweeping an eq band with a simple LFO vs doing it natively as designed within the plug in Ill get an extra 5% cpu just from automating pan position for example vs no visible addition to CPU from using a synth with that modulation running natively

[@Thought-Forms]

I can understand that perspective. A lot of manufacturers who recreate old synths in VST form tend to add QOL features and even upgrades. This one really comes off as a true love letter to the original. The UI is modern & sleek (especially compared to their other stuff...have you seen largo? big yikes) and everything else is as it was, in the best way. I think $150 is fair, and the intro price makes it a no brainer. Was hunting down original Microwaves a few weeks ago too...glad I didn't pull the trigger! Side note, check out Bitwig if you haven't...the modulation system is nuts and would essentially give you 30+ or so modulators to use with this. Not a big CPU hog either

from what to start making similar music I like. 10 years ago I played with fl studio and now I want to return but looks so difficult, a lot of controllers. a million ways to mixing them but I want to know at least basic / essential rules how to use them to create tracks.

[@Thought-Forms]

Music tech has advanced a ton even in just 10 years, and it can totally get overwhelming. Ultimately, you just gotta sit down and commit to learning it. Try to pick a DAW (FL if you've used it before) and start following along some tutorials building tracks from scratch. Best way to learn, IMO

[@jumpstar9000]

Looks and sounds great! What were you using for the reverb out of interest?

[@Thought-Forms]

Bitwig's stock delay, delay-2, and Arturia REV Intensity. Great tools!
