Quantum Wave

Can't find or afford a Waldorf Wave? Well, you might want to check out the Quantum Wave, John Bowen's most recent emulation. Title link takes you there.




Update: A little more info from the site: "originally a custom project for Hans Zimmer, it is based on the functional design of the Waldorf Wave, using the Creamware Waldorf oscillators and the LP filter from the Pro One emulation (with an additional 12 dB HP filter). It is structured as a 4-part synth, meaning there are 4 individual synths inside the device (this being my first multi-timbre synth project). Potential customers should note that the Creamware version of the Waldorf oscillator does not produce the same quality of aliasing as the original, and therefore you should not expect the Quantum Wave to produce a faithful emulation of the Wave's sound."

  1. It's awesome to see you on this Zarg music kick! Mr. Bowen's instruments are a great reason to invest in Creamware Scope cards. BTW, a prototype of this synth was originally developed for Hans Zimmer. -james@retrothing

  2. Thanks! John pointed that bit to me on the site. Post is updated. Yeah, he's had quite an impact on the synth world. It's awesome that he is still working on synths.
