The iconic Waldorf Wave


video upload by synthlegends

"The Waldorf Wave was the most sophisticated synthesizer, which was produced in Germany, maybe one of the most sophisticared synth ever made. It came out in 1993 as the successor of the Waldorf microwave (1989). It was designed by Axel Hartmann and was highly regarded as a great insdustrial design.

The Waldorf Wave has 64 internal waves and 64 custom waves. It has two oscillators, three envelopes and three LFO. It has a curtis CEM Filter design, with low pass, band pass and high pass. It is 8 times mulittimbral and has 16 Voices in the basic version. In the bigger version, which is on the pictures, it has 32 voices and 76 keys. In this video I demonstrate the basic version and mostly layered sounds.

As you can see, I am tweaking around the sounds, especially also the waves and the behavour of the wavetabele envelope. Later on my camera striked, so there is no video content anymore. I hope you dont mind. Thanks for watching and listening again."
