Waldorf Wave

images via this auction. via Rob. Note how thin the front panel is. In the bottom shot you can see the width from the back.

"Included in the auction: The Wave with the original english user manual in boxed ringbinder, the software boot floppy disk, 6 other floppy disks with extra soundbanks, a spare pair of new, unused shock obsorbers (lift the front panel up) and some new spare CEM chips x4 (filter / vca chips)

The synth is an absolute beast and sounds amazing. The Wave is a true pro flagship, that was certainly NOT made to budget. Its also a total dream for synth programming with 61 knobs, 84 buttons, 8 sliders and huge LCD display.

Super rare synth, famous abusers include Hans Zimmer, the Orb, DJ Sasha, Depeche mode, R&S studios, Dave Angel etc. In total there were about 200 Waves made, i can only recall seeing a few turn up on Ebay in the last few years, but one just sold on Ebay germany for just over 6500 euros (over £5000), without any manuals or spares."

  1. Wow...what is it with all of these crazy synth auctions this week? O_o

    As a side note, I wish this blog kept track of starting auction prices as well as the final price. Oftentimes I go back and look at old posts, and then find myself dismayed when the ebay auction has expired.

  2. Great idea. You or anyone else for that matter is more than welcome to note the starting and end prices in the comments of the posts. I think the end prices would be the most interesting as that's what they went for. I'd do it myself, but there is no way I can keep up with 20+ posts a day. It wouldn't be too much for someone to do if they are interested. I say go for it! ;)

To reduce spam, comments for posts older than one week are not displayed until approved, usually same day. Do not insult people. For items for sale, do not ask if it is still available. Check the auction link and search for the item. Auctions are from various sellers and expire over time. Posts remain for the pics and historical purposes. This site is meant to be a daily snapshot of some of what was out there in the world of synths.
