Waldorf Microwave Preliminary Manual

via this auction

Anyone know when this manual came out in relation to the Microwave?

Update via swissdoc in the comments:
"The "Waldorf Microwave Preliminary Manual" was shipped with the first units and later replaced with the final Manual, which you can download here: http://qwave.de/georg/mwmanual/

The manual was refering to V1.0 of th e firmware, addenda for V1.20, V1.25 and the final V2.0 are available under the link as well.

The preliminary manual had no graphics, only the text and there was just a very fragile glue binding. The final manual used a spiral binding."

"Yamaha VL7 Physical Modeling synthesizer. This is an incredible synth and very rare. There were less than 2500 of the VL1, VL1m and VL7's made in total. This synth originally sold for $2,995.00 US. This has the Version 2.0 ROM's which are no longer available and are rarer than the VL7 itself. I have included a Breath controller that makes the performances even more expresive. Find out more about the VL7 at

Tom Oberheim's Marion MSR-2

via this auction via jan.

"Some facts/rumors about the MSR-2:

* it probably uses the same VCO chips as in recent Prophet08 and DSI Evolver.
* It has Audio-In, so you can process external audio signals thru the envelope/filter et al.
* The Marion MSR-2 is known for having the 'Oberheim sound' packaged inside a compact single-space rackmount module with modern digital reliability and MIDI implementation.
* Despite its rather harmless and simple appearance, the MSR-2 allows for some fairly complex but intuitive programming. The filters, envelopes, LFOs and other parameters are very analog-like in their sound and editing methods.
* The module is also 16-part multitimbral.
* And external inputs route a signal through the envelope and filter sections.
* The MSR-2 is rare but definitely worth checking out."

Update: see the comments for some useful info.

SCI Pro-One

"The MIDI jack receives only, and will only decode note and gate info--no mod and pitchbend (you can still use the wheels on the P1 when the MIDI jack is engaged). This means you can play the synth from a larger external keyboard, which I always did--or you can sequence it. The little toggle next to the jack switches the keyboard between using its own keys or accepting MIDI signals."
