"One of the rarest and most sought-after synths, the Waldorf Wave . This example (serial number 101) is a two-owner machine, not very much used at all. It is 32-voice, **now with OS 1.803! - the owner says 'so, there is the choice between 1.68 or 1.803. of course, you can always go back to 1.7, too. but i guess one would want to stick with 1.803 as it fixes several bugs and allows to read and analyse wav files and has the possibility to synchronize the LFOs to midi'.)**, the original manual, and a recently-bought flightcase - very useful (almost essential) with a precious instrument of this size and weight. The pneumatic struts (a universal fault with Waves after this number of years) are being newly replaced before the auction finishes. The display is well readable - see photo - though it isn't as bright as when it was new. The instrument is in/near Paris. VEMIA could collect, and deliver to northern France / Belgium economically, or bring it back to England, and then deliver or ship. (Or of course because of the flightcase it could be shipped direct from Paris to further afield!) The battery was changed very recently; and everything works as it should and sounds great. There were only 150 of these ever made, so as well as being a joy to play (great user interface, silky rich sounds) it is also highly collectable!"
