Waldorf Microwave (1/Rev.1) w CEM 3389 & Live Tweaking w Access Controller

"The original first version of fabulous Microwave with Rev. 1: The better, the fatter, the meatier one. All tracks have passed the tube circuits of Thermionic Culture Vulture and were recorder directly to dic WITHOUT any additional FX.

It was mixed digitally and in order to regain the former peak levels for the score was used a limiter. This is it. So the sounds might sound a little crude and rough but already worthwhile. What might they sound like after careful FX treatment???

Part of its mighty sound are the analogue Curtis filters.This final analogue section is the reason for the BIG sound GAP between the MICROWAVE and the fully digital MICROWAVE II which is really a laugh.

BTW: I never liked the Red Knob!"

Waldorf Microwave 1 Rev 1 OS 2 -- live tweaking w Access Controller

"This is a demo that shows how sensisively and deeply you can influence the parameters of the Waldorf Microwave with the RARE ACCESS controller. Mostly you cannot hear that the parameters are not continuous but stepped -- only in volume (resolution only 7 steps) and in octaves/semitones naturally it is clearly audible.
This is not a genious peformance but I wantetd to keep it in its original shape so that you can for yourself how quick the changes are made and how fluent the result is -- Starting with a mallet going over kick drums and very deep bass sound through a vast space odyssey ending in mallets and pads.
That is done with a single sound program, no layer, multimode!!!"
