"::| TO HEAR THE FULL RANGE OF FREQUENCIES AND STEREO EFFECTS, A GOOD PAIR OF HEADPHONES IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED |::
This is a quick, rough, work-in-progress composition for my electro-industrial project "cell:burn" using my @WaldorfMusicChannel Quantum, Microwave XTk, and Micro Q synths. I thought I'd shoot some video of the session. No external effects were used, only the built-in synth effects. I need to redo the drums/percussion as it loses timing around three-quarters of the way through, and then a proper mix of everything.
To hear my previous cell:burn works, go to the Bandcamp page at -

"Waldorf just released the Microwave 1 - as software! I am happy to present the plugin and compare it to my original Microwave 1 Rev A. https://waldorfmusic.com/microwave/"
"35 years ago Waldorf Music released its first instrument, the Microwave, which took the hearts of the leading musicians and producers of the nineties by storm. Its vibrate and distinctive sound transported the early wavetable sounds of the eighties into the rising electronic dance music of the following decade. Massive base lines, enigmatic wavetable modulations, brutal attacks and pads smooth like silk have been inspired generations of musicians. Microwave’s unique interpretation of wavetable synthesis combined with analogue filters defined what hybrid synthesis is at its best.
Now’s the time to bring back this magical instrument in a software form to the digital workstations of producers and musicians world-wide. The Waldorf Microwave 1 Plugin was painstakingly recreated from the original hardware with all its idiosyncrasies and wonderful singularities.
A multi-year effort and a labor of love which analyzed and modeled the original instruments down to the finest sonic details of every aspect of the hardware. Only the first generation of the Microwave and also the Waldorf Wave were based on a custom developed integrated circuit called the Waldorf ASIC. In combination with the legendary Curtis filter chips and a very unique 68k CPU based controller software the ASIC defined a very special flavor of wavetable sound unparalleled to none. No one else than the inventor of Wavetable Synthesis of the eighties, Wolfgang Palm, helped to design this unique chip. Waldorf took a huge effort to analyze and recreate this integrated circuit within the plug-in. As the original, the plug-in runs the internal synthesis with the ultra high sampling rate of 250 kHz regardless of the DAW sampling rate. The recreated digital waveforms have been bit-by-bit compared with the original to be 100% identical.
Even the old-school digital-to-analogue converters of the original hardware were modeled with their non-linearities and tone shaping color which were leading into the two Curtis filter chips variants used for the revisions A and B of the original hardware. The plug-in allows further for artificially detuning and recalibrating of the analogue components. Brutal attacks, snappy decays and a plethora of wonderful transients define the sound of the first generation Microwave. But the Microwave 1 Plug-In goes one step further: Its modern and inviting graphical user-interface reveals many aspects of the synthesis engine which were hidden before in the original hardware by its sparse hard to use interface.
Its livelihood never sounding mechanical but always different was based on a very unique architecture to create the envelopes, LFOs and modulations which was painstakingly recreated by the plug-in down to the finest grains.
A fully scalable modern interface with readable high-contrast fonts supports an intuitive sound editing process with many graphical representations of the wavetables, envelopes and filter response curves using animations for modulations and playing positions. The Microwave 1 was never as close as this under your finger tips. A joy to edit sounds with.
But we stopped not here, for the first time the inner makings of the Microwave have been put to the surface. Based on the internal control tables the user can now easily edit existing wavetables and create new ones in a very unique and intuitive process. All the original wavetables are available with their control structures and the full original waveform catalogue. In addition to user wavetables, also user waveforms can be created within the plug-in. Additional randomization modes make wavetable editing fun and sonically surprising as experienced never before. The multi-mode becomes now a weapon of its own for sound design. Originally hard to edit from the panel, the plug-in UI allows now for quickly layering of single sounds to create the most complex and exciting sonic structures.
An easy to use mixer page lets you fine tune their sonic relationships. Even the more exotic feature like tuning and velocity tables have been implemented and can be edited in the UI. All the original factory single and multi-mode sounds are contained in the plug-in in combination with new and modern sound presets. Original MIDI and Sys-Ex dump files can be imported such you can load your favorites from the past. Moreover, the plug-in can be used to control the original hardware are a graphical editor. If you a lucky owner of an Microwave first generation, the plug-in allows you to take your beloved hardware virtually with you where-ever you like and keeping its magical sound. The Microwave 1 plug-in comes as VST, VST3, AU and AAX for macOS and Windows supporting the major digital audio workstations."
The new soundset offers 64 "Cinematic Dark Sequences" and impressive soundscapes can be created in no time at all. A unique skill of Kevin Schroeder's that no one can quickly imitate and which Hans Zimmer has also appreciated time and again. Kevin Schroeder has once again provided his sounds and sequences for the current blockbuster "The Creator" and one or two patches were actually used in the film.
Kevin Schroeder „DejaVu Sound“ is an international sound designer. He has worked with Trevor Morris, Paul Haslinger and Hans Zimmer on various film scores such as Wonder Woman 1984, Top Gun Maverick, James Bond and Dune 2020. His sound sets for Iridium and Quantum (OS 3.0 and higher) are a real enrichment and allow a direct entry into the world of "film music.
