"Excellent condition Microwave 1 Rev A with 3389 Curtis CEM analog filter chips. OS is updated to final version 2.0. The synth has been very well kept, is functionally perfect, and is in cosmetically excellent condition with little to virtually no wear. The screen is bright, the buttons are responsive, and the big red encoder works smoothly without fault. The sound is unmatched, and thanks to its legendary filters, the synth sounds 'alive', very full bodied and 3D. Comes with the Access Microwave programmer, which turns your PPG in a box rack into a Microwave XT but better with analog filters. The programmer with its knob per function analog controls makes this synth a dream to program and play. Also throwing in a bonus Dave Gould Techno ROM card. Power is 220V so also throwing in an ultra high quality voltage converter by Voltcraft."

"This is the 'A' version with the best filter sound. Resonance can sound very good

No functional issues. Well calibrated, buttons 100%

Red knob may be a little loose in shipping, but once you attach it again it shouldn't come off during use. this is the only defect. Never been a major issue just thought I should mention it

The programmer is wonderful. Works seamlessly and really opens up the synth making it a joy to program and perform live. It is not for controlling every possible parameter, but definitely the important ones and allows you to tweak things live."

"Access made these hardware programmers in the mid 90's to program the Waldorf Microwave Mk 1.

The synth is not included, this is only for the programmer and it can only be used to program the Microwave mk 1 (A or B) where you connect your midi into the programmer then the programmer goes into the Microwave.

The condition of the unit is fantastic, not a mark on it and it all functions correctly.

Complete with power supply."

Waldorf MicroWave 1 + Access Programmer + rare modification (4x audio-inputs)

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"This is an incredibly RARE synthesizer because it has been modified to be able to receive 4 audio inputs and pass each of them through the wavetable oscillator and through the Curtis filter too, then out individually or as a summed stereo signal. The modification was officially endorsed by Waldorf, but there were very few units done. You can see the 4 inputs directly above the 4 individual outputs on the back of the rack unit. This modification alone should significantly increase the value of this unit above the average selling price of £1650 for other MicroWave 1s sold on Reverb. I am also including the Access MicroWave Controller, which is an external MIDI-controller which provides knob-per function control of the rack unit (which is otherwise difficult to adjust). The Access controller usually sells individually on Reverb for £400-£500, but I am including it together with the synthesizer because they make a perfect match. This Waldorf MicroWave Rev. 1 rack unit has all the wavetables from the PPG Wave synthesizer and more, and also a genuine Curtis analog filter, and also the 2.0 firmware update installed to improve the sound."

Waldorf Micro-Wave 1 SN 9131802 with Access Programmer

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"If you are reading this you might already know how gorgeous the Curtis filters in the Micro-Wave 1 sound... Both the Waldorf Micro-Wave 1 (OS 2.0) and the Access Microwave Programmer have been in storage for 15 years. They were in mint condition when I bought them about 18 years ago and were only lightly used. They are in excellent cosmetic condition with very minor dings and scratches (see photos). The manuals are included. Note: I don't actually know if the Micro-Wave 1 is Rev A (Curtis CEM 3389) or Rev B (Curtis CEM 3387). It has the black on green display, dark blue faceplate (looks grey in photos) and black case of Rev A but the rotary encoder (24 ticks per revolution) of Rev B. If it makes a difference to you let me know and I'll open up the case and find out."

Synth Programmer for Waldorf Pulse

Published on Sep 25, 2019 Stereoping

"Demo for some of the Pulse Programmer's features like OCTAVE buttons, DRIVE pot, E-PATCHES, easier access to Modulation Matrix and Arpeggiator. Finally the video contains a cacophonic desaster by using the Programmer 's PARAPHONICmode. It allows playing intervals and triads on the Pulse by analyzing the midinotes and muting/transposing DCO 2&3 accordingly.

Still missing is a demo for the Pulse Programmer's capabilities of combining several Pulses to a polysynth - the CASCADE. I'll do a separate video for this asap."
