"Towards the end of the 1980's, PPG's technology and several of their employees joined Waldorf, another German manufacturer, and the first product to come out of this collaboration was the Microwave, released in 1989. The Microwave was built upon what was the PPG Wave. A digital/analog hybrid in which digitally sampled wavetables are processed through analog VCA envelope and VCF (filter) sections producing a classic and warm yet highly complex sound. In fact, the Microwave uses the same wavetables from the PPG Wave 2.3! In effect, the Microwave sounds like the PPG, which in turn, sounds like synth-pioneers Tangerine Dream.

Over the years, the operating system (OS) could be upgraded via EPROM chips from Waldorf. These added additional wavetables, the options to create custom wavetables, a speech synthesizer, and numerous other improvements. The final OS was version 2.0, released in 1994."

You can find info on the different revisions of the original Waldorf Microwave here and some pics here.

TAL sampler Digital collection Vol. 2 | Korg Poly-61 & Poly-800


video by Espen Kraft

"Digital Collection Vol.2 - Korg Poly-61 and Poly-800 - For the TAL sampler

In the early 80s, Korg released two synthesizers, the Poly-61 (1982) and the Poly-800 (1983). Capable of very unique sounds, they've both been elevated to cult classics today.
Now I have meticulously sampled all my best original sounds from these classics and turned it into a pack for the TAL sampler.
32 patches for the Poly-61 and 32 patches for the Poly-800.

Get the patches here:
https://thepatchbay.co.uk/product/tal...
https://sound7.co.uk/products/espen-t...​

As an added bonus I've also sampled my Korg DDD-1 drum machine to give you a classic 80s drum kit to play with. All mapped out on the keyboard. Some of the sounds in this drum kit are duplicated in different tuning options for your pleasure.

All sounds are taken directly out of the hardware and recorded through SSL Superanalogue preamps for the best audio quality.
All the sounds are recorded dry, so the reverb and delay you hear in the demo are from the TAL sampler itself (can be turned off of course), except for the Poly-800 brass and Sweeps that have a dash of Valhalla VintageVerb on them. Again, only in the demo itself.

The audio demo features only sounds from this pack, 100%."

System 80 – 860 Mk 2


video by SchneidersLaden

"The 860 Mk2 is the successor of the widely respected first recreation of the Jupiter-6 filter by System80 that was named Jove. It offers the same sound and some updated functions compared to the original Jove filter, which is no longer available. The filter brings a lot to the table, is only 10hp wide and can be operated in four modes: 24 dB lowpass, 12 dB lowpass, bandpass, highpass. There are two inputs each for audio and CV and another CV input for controlling the resonance – and the build quality is excellent.

The sound and behavior of the filter is very 'Roland' – it feels home in more aggressive lead sounds and the resonance is really wonderful, yet the sound loses a little power in the low-end with more resonance. This is by no means a bad thing; in fact, it can be seen as a very musical behavior – plus, the resonance really blends in nicely with the original signal. And have you heard the highpass filter setting? One of the absolute strengths of this filter!"

Make Noise Strega | Episode 06 | Into Heaven


video by Cinematic Laboratory

"After a bare episode 5, I'll return to heavenly overprocessed Strega tones. I used QPAS, Phonogene, Erbe-Verb, X-PAN and the Mimeophon. Notes come from Rene. This started off as an experiment with Phonogene but in the end got this heavenly bed of sound I did not expect from a source like Strega. I really enjoyed this one, and I hope you do too."
