Waldorf Microwave 1 *Revision B* Rackmount Wavetable Synthesizer - Vintage

Introducing the revered Waldorf Microwave 1 Revision B, a cherished relic from the 1980s era of electronic music innovation. Crafted through the illustrious collaboration between German powerhouses Waldorf and PPG, the Microwave emerged in 1989, marking a significant milestone in synthesizer history.

Drawing from the foundations laid by the esteemed PPG Wave, the Microwave seamlessly blends digital and analog realms. Its distinctive character arises from digitally sampled wavetables, intricately processed through analog VCA envelope and VCF sections, resulting in a sonic tapestry that is both classic and warmly intricate. Notably, the Microwave inherits the iconic wavetables of its predecessor, the PPG Wave 2.3, echoing the ethereal soundscape famously associated with synth pioneers like Tangerine Dream.

Encased within a compact two-unit rack module, the Microwave belies its unassuming exterior with a powerhouse of capabilities. Boasting an 8-voice polyphony and housing 64 onboard memory patches, expandable by an additional 64 via optional external memory cards, this synthesizer stands as a testament to meticulous engineering and artistic expression.

Catering to the discerning tastes of the high-end synth market, the Microwave epitomizes Waldorf and PPG's mastery of wavetable synthesis technology during its heyday. Its influence reverberates through the works of musical luminaries such as Nine Inch Nails, Hardfloor, Jimmy Edgar, Vangelis, and Crystal Distortion.

While this vintage gem may bear the marks of previous use, its enduring operational prowess ensures an immersive journey into the realms of electronic soundscapes.
