Waldorf M Wavetable Microwave Desktop Synthesizer

Make your musical visions a reality with the M Wavetable Microwave Desktop Synthesizer, a sophisticated fusion of classic and contemporary sound synthesis. This innovative instrument pays homage to the iconic Microwave and Microwave II, reimagining their legendary tone generation for the modern producer. With its sleek, full-metal blue casing and bold red lettering, the M Synthesizer is not only a stylish addition to your studio but also a powerful tool for audio creation.

The M Synthesizer boasts an impressive array of features, including an analog lowpass 24 dB/Oct VCF - SSI 2144 Improved Ladder Type - with resonance and analog saturation capabilities, ensuring warm, rich textures. The true stereo analog VCA with panning options further expands your soundstage, providing immersive audio experiences.

Explore a vast sonic landscape with 2,048 sound programs, professionally curated by world-renowned sound designers. These presets span 16 banks, each with 128 sounds, and include the entire classic Microwave sound sets, such as MW1 Factory Sound Set and PPG Wave 2.3 sounds, meticulously converted for the original Microwave. The M Synthesizer also introduces new, freshly-programmed sounds that leverage its advanced features, like true hard Sync and a MIDI-syncable global LFO.

At the heart of the M Synthesizer lies an eight-voice polyphonic, four-part multitimbral engine, powered by two wavetable oscillators. These oscillators operate in two distinct modes: Classic Microwave 1 and Modern Microwave II/XT. Each mode shapes the behavior of the oscillators, offering unique sound possibilities, from the raw 8-bit, 240 kHz non-anti-aliased sample rate of Classic mode to the refined 40 kHz sample rate with band-limited wavetables of Modern mode.

The M Synthesizer simplifies modulation by providing direct access to settings on the corresponding display page, a nod to the 1989-vintage Microwave. Two LFOs with adjustable frequency Rate and Shape are readily available for intricate modulation effects. The advanced ARP with 16 preset patterns, chord mode, and MIDI clock synchronization elevates performance capabilities, while four programmable ENVELOPES allow for dynamic sound parameter manipulation.

Connectivity is key for any synthesizer, and the M does not disappoint. It offers six stereo analog outputs, including MAIN OUT and AUX OUT for routing multitimbral parts to separate channels. A stereo headphone output with dedicated volume control, 5-pin MIDI IN, OUT, and THRU DIN connectors, and a USB 2.0 MIDI port ensure seamless integration with your setup. An SD Card slot facilitates firmware updates, sound patch imports/saves, and user wavetable management. A Kensington compatible security lock slot provides peace of mind for your valuable equipment.

Embrace the future of sound with the M Wavetable Microwave Desktop Synthesizer, where sophisticated design meets unparalleled sound versatility for the discerning music producer.
