Its vibrate and distinctive sound transported the early wavetable sounds of the 80s into the rising electronic dance music of the following decade. Massive bass lines, enigmatic wavetable modulations, brutal attacks and pads smooth as silk have inspired generations of musicians. The Microwave defined hybrid synthesis at its best with its unique interpretation of wavetable synthesis combined with analogue filters. Now we bring this magical instrument back to your digital workstation: Microwave 1 Plug-in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMassive bass lines, enigmatic wavetable modulations, brutal attacks and pads smooth as silk have inspired generations of musicians. The Microwave defined hybrid synthesis at its best with its unique interpretation of wavetable synthesis combined with analogue filters. The Waldorf Microwave 1 Plug-in was painstakingly recreated from the original hardware with all its distinctive features and singularities. This multi-year project was a labour of love. Waldorf analysed and modelled the original instruments down to the finest sonic details of every aspect of the hardware. Its unique sound was based on proprietary digital and analogue designs long before the following generations of DSP-based instruments were conceived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOnly the 1st generation of the Microwave and also the Waldorf Wave were based on a custom developed integrated circuit called the Waldorf ASIC. In combination with the legendary Curtis filter chips and a very unique 68k CPU based controller software the ASIC defined a very special flavour of wavetable sound unparalleled to none. No one else than the inventor of Wavetable Synthesis of the eighties, Wolfgang Palm, helped to design this unique chip. Waldorf took a huge effort to analyze and recreate this integrated circuit within the plug-in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDigital Section (ASIC)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eInternally running with 250 kHz sampling rate to match original ASIC sampling rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eModeling of digital-to-analog converters for each voice (DAC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eTwo oscillators based on same wavetable per multi instrument\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eUnique digital noise generator based on ASIC technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eDigital mixer of oscillators and noise based on original ASIC including overflow bug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eFaithful recreation of non-interpolated pitch generation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWavetables\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eAll original wavetables of Microwave 1 based on the original coding and bit-identical to original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eIncluding algorithmic and speech wavetables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eFaithful recreation of 8-bit quantization and aliasing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eEasy to use wavetable editor based on internal control tables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eFull waveform catalogue of original instrument can be accessed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eUser waveform editor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFilter\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eFaithful modeling of revision A and B analogue filters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eVoice individual calibration of cutoff and resonance to model detuned hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eCutoff and resonance modulations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eFrequency response graphic animated by live modulations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAmplifier\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eModeling of voltage controlled analogue amplifiers and panning section\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eFaithful recreation of control voltage DACs including stepping effects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eModulators\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eRecreation of unique envelope and LFO timings based of original 68k code\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eModeling of beautiful micro variations in timings due to limitations of the original hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eFilter envelope with ADSR and additional delay parameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eVolume envelope with ADSR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eAll filter and volume envelope timings and levels can be modulated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eUnique 8 stage wave envelope with variable key-off point and looping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eWave envelope levels and timings can be modulated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eAttack-Decay envelope for LFO1 with additional delay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e2 LFOs with various waveforms, symmetry and humanize parameters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eLFOs can be phase shifted to each other\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eLFO1 with global option, rate \u0026amp;
