What it is

The Waldorf Microwave 1 Upgrade to Version 2 is a wavetable synthesizer plugin that faithfully recreates the legendary 1980s Waldorf Microwave hardware. It pairs dual wavetable oscillators with modeled analog filters - both revision A and B circuits - delivering the distinctive digital-meets-analog character the original is known for. Version 2 adds an arpeggiator, creative delay effect, redesigned preset browser, and expands polyphony to 32 voices.

Who it's for

Producers working in techno, electro, EBM, or IDM - anyone rooted in 80s and 90s electronic synthesis who wants the distinctive Microwave wavetable character without hunting down vintage hardware.

Key features

• All original Waldorf wavetables are included plus a user wavetable editor with algorithmic and speech waveforms
• Analog filter models cover both hardware revisions (A and B) with full cutoff and resonance modulation
• Polyphony expands to 32 voices, up from the original hardware's 8
• The plugin can also control original Microwave hardware directly via MIDI
