Protein:  The New Authentic Wavetable Synth Protein is an affordable and compact 8 voice polyphonic Wavetable synthesizer based on the original Microwave 1 ASIC oscillators combined with modern features of Iridium heritage like the sophisticated arpeggiator, step sequencer, chord mode, effects and more.  Protein links back to the very beginnings of Waldorfs instrument makings but interprets the original ideas in a contemporary and surprising way. With handy dimensions of 252 × 170 × 48 mm (including controls) and a weight of 0.9 kg, the Protein is a true powerhouse packed into a compact and portable new form factor that stands as the first statement of a new upcoming product line. Wavetable – Structure in Motion Dive into wavetables that evolve like living matter. Control their movement and texture with envelope and velocity modulation. Each waveform shifts and transforms – vivid, expressive, and endlessly alive. Filter – The DNA of Sound Sculpt your tone with Cutoff Track, Resonance, Dirt, and flexible Envelope Amount. From crystal clarity to raw, earthy grit – Protein resonates at every sonic layer. Layer – Dynamic Sound Structure The 8 voices can be organized in up to 4 layers allowing for complex sonic layered arrangements, surprising round robin modes, or simply split by MIDI channels for poly timbral operation. With the Load Layer feature new sonic arrangements can be created in seconds by simply re-combining existing layers from the whole preset collection. E
