Home Concert 87 (Ambient liveset for rainy autumn evenings with Waldorf Crema, Protein, Super6)

video upload by Martin Stürtzer

"The wind was rattling the trees and the rain was falling against my windows while I was composing the music for Home Concert 87. I captured the noise from outside with a microphone and made it part of the music. The whole set was created using a layout with only eight channels:

1: UDO Super 6 (Parts 3 - 5)
2: Sequential Prophet 10 (Parts 1-3 & 5)
3: Waldorf Protein (Parts 1, 3, 5)
4: Waldorf Crema (Parts 1 - 4)
5: Field Recordings (Parts 1, 2, 4)
6: UDO DMNO (Parts 2 - 4)
7: Waldorf Microwave 1 (Parts 1, 2)
8: Roland JV 1080 (Part 5)

All patches, sounds, sequences and arrangements were made by a (cat assisted) human. No AI tools were used in the creation of the music, video and artwork.

Microwave XT firmware - Tallent Edition

via github. Note this is not Waldorf sanctioned.

"An unofficial firmware extension for the Waldorf Microwave II, XT and XTk, operating system 2.33:

Independent wavetable selection for both oscillators.

X-Mod: new Phase and Amplitude modulation modes for both oscillators (XT and XTk).

Warp: nine ways to reshape each oscillator's wave as it plays, with two new modulation destinations, W1 Warp and W2 Warp (XT and XTk).

New aliasing settings modeled after the Industrial Music Electronics Piston Honda Mk II Eurorack module.

Interpolation: optional smooth wavetable scanning as on the Synthesis Technology E352 Cloud Terrarium and the Piston Honda, with Startwave in hundredths of a wave.

FX Para 1-3: three new modulation destinations that move the effect's settings, such as its Speed, Feedback or dry/wet mix.

MPE input, with per-note pitch bend, pressure and Y.

MIDI controllers for every new setting.

The Tallent Edition Sounds: 80 Sounds and nine wavetables that use the new features.

All original features remain. On an XT or XTk, the new pages sit behind Shift with the Wavetable, FM Amount and Env Amount knobs. A Microwave II plays 8 voices and reaches the new pages with the Page dial. Waldorf's update can be loaded again at any time.

See the New Features Guide for how everything works."

Waldorf Crema | More than Meets the Eye

video upload by Starsky Carr

Check with dealers on the right for pricing and availability. See the announcement post with additional videos here.

"Waldorf's Crema Ensemble looks like a simple string machine — it isn't. Under that beige lid there are 24 oscillator types: the Streichfett string engine, 17 of Waldorf's famous wavetables and 6 FM algorithms, plus a resonant filter, three ADSR envelopes and three LFOs — almost all of it hidden behind the display.

In this review and deep-dive demo I go through the whole architecture: both synth engines, the modulation nobody tells you about, the shimmer reverb, and how to get at the buried parameters over MIDI CC. Plus plenty of just playing it, because it sounds gorgeous.

If you've had enough of the same old synth design over and over again, this one is worth a proper look."

"Waldorf Music releases Crema, a compact polyphonic string and pad synthesizer designed for creating string ensembles, layered pads and evolving sound textures.

Based on the synthesis architecture of the Waldorf Streichfett, Crema expands this concept into the digital era.

While Streichfett captures the character of the analog string machines of the 1970s, Crema adds the digital pads of the 1980s and 1990s.

It enlarges the sound palette through wavetable, FM synthesis and dual effects, including a dedicated shimmer reverb."

"Meet Crema – The Finishing Touch For Every Sound

Meet Crema, the compact polyphonic string and pad synthesizer that expands the iconic sound of Waldorf Streichfett to the digital era.

While Streichfett captures the character of the analog string machines of the 1970s, Crema adds the digital pads of the 1980s and 1990s, enlarging the sound palette through wavetable and FM synthesis, dual effects and a dedicated shimmer reverb.

Classic string ensembles, rich pads, evolving textures and the Waldorf touch. All in one little synth.

Home Concert 86 - Special 3 hour live edition (Ambient liveset with Moog, Sequential, Waldorf)

video upload by Martin Stürtzer

"What started as a spontaneous idea eight years ago became a tradition that I am looking forward to a lot: My three hours long birthday session! I spent the last weeks preparing sound patches and sequences on my synthesizers to play this year's edition. The set is mostly improvised.

All patches, sounds, sequences and arrangements were made by a (cat assisted) human. No AI tools were used in the creation of the music, video and artwork.

Waldorf Wave Emulation – NO TALKING Sound Demo

video upload by Autodafe

See the announcement post here.

"A quick NO TALKING sound demo of Wave Emulation by mo0kid, a new software emulation of the legendary Waldorf Wave.

This project recreates the Wave using the original Waldorf firmware, with the current release available for macOS as standalone, AU, VST3 and AAX.

In this video I’m simply browsing through a selection of sounds and presets — no talking, just the Waldorf Wave in action.

Wave Emulation:
https://github.com/mo0kid/wave/releas...

The emulator requires the original Waldorf Wave OS 1.700 firmware, which is not included with the software. The firmware can be obtained separately from Waldorf.

🎧 Headphones recommended."

You can find an English translation of the following video description further below.

"Freedom è un brano di musica elettronica prodotto da Davide Micheli utilizzando sintetizzatori elettronici tra cui alcuni Italiani moderni come il 'GRPA4', ma anche vintage anni 80 come 'Elka Twin61' e 'CRB Diamond 910 Gold M'. Altri sintetizzatori utilizzati sono il 'Moog Voyager XL', il 'Waldrof Quantum', e per ultimo 'Oberheim OB-X8'. La Drum Machine è una Drum degli anni 80 molto famosa ai sui tempi la 'Dynacord P20' 8-Bit Drum Machine.

Waldorf Wave (48 voice) Emulation in Software

video upload by Dave Whiting

"This video showcases my software recreation of the legendary Waldorf Wave—a hybrid wavetable synthesizer known for its huge digital oscillators, analogue filters and unusually complex hardware architecture.

The project is built in C++ using JUCE and is available as a standalone instrument and plug-in. Rather than simply making a modern synth that sounds similar, I’ve tried to reproduce the structure and behaviour of the original machine.

The emulation models:

• The Wave’s 250 kHz, 8-bit time-multiplexed wavetable oscillator system
• Signed mixer overflow—including the characteristic Waldorf “ASIC Mix Bug”
• Digital 12 dB high-pass filtering
• CEM3387-style reconstruction filtering, resonant four-pole low-pass filtering, VCAs and panning
• 12-bit stepped control voltages, sample-and-hold behaviour, saturation, noise and output coupling
• Three independent 16-voice WDV boards, matching a fully expanded 48-voice Wave
• The original 480 × 64 monochrome LCD and front-panel workflow

The instrument can also run authenticated Waldorf Wave OS 1.700 firmware. An emulated 68000 CPU executes the original main operating system, while a second runtime executes the genuine WDV voice-board program. Their shared-memory communication, voice-update masks, semaphores and hardware-register writes are reproduced and traced inside the model.

The oscillator ASIC itself remains undocumented, so its internal operation is represented by a behavioural model based on the Wave’s published architecture, firmware activity and known hardware characteristics. This is therefore an ongoing reverse-engineering and preservation project—not a claim of perfect, bit-exact emulation.
