The Waldorf Microwave 1 Plug-in revives the legendary synthesizer that defined hybrid synthesis more than three decades ago. Originally launched in the 1980s, this instrument combined innovative wavetable synthesis with analog filters to create iconic sounds that shaped electronic music's evolution. Known for its massive bass lines, intricate wavetable modulations, and smooth pads, the Microwave's unique character has inspired countless musicians and producers. This faithful digital recreation brings the original instrument's distinctive sonic qualities directly to modern digital audio workstations, preserving the essence that made the hardware so revered.

Painstakingly modeled from the original hardware, the plug-in captures every nuance of the Microwave's architecture, including its proprietary digital and analog components. With an ultra-high internal sampling rate and bit-accurate waveform reproduction, it faithfully recreates the sound generation process, digital noise, and analog filter behavior that defined the instrument’s signature tone. The plug-in also introduces a modern, scalable user interface that reveals the synthesis engine's inner workings, making sound design more intuitive and visually engaging. Users can now edit wavetables and waveforms in unprecedented detail, alongside layering multi-mode sounds with flexible mixing and tuning options.

Beyond authenticity, the Microwave 1 Plug-in enhances creative possibilities by providing extensive modulation options, customizable envelopes, and support for importing original presets and Sys-Ex files. It even offers hardware integration for controlling the original synthesizer via MIDI. Whether recreating classic patches or exploring new sonic territories, this plug-in delivers the full power and character of the original Microwave synth with the convenience and flexibility of modern software.
