当你在软件合成器里反复调试波表位置,却总觉得声音少了那股“冷峻的未来感”时,或许该回头看看35年前的那台灰色铁盒。Waldorf Microwave 1最反直觉的地方在于:它的数字波表振荡器以250kHz的超高采样率运行,却偏偏要靠一块早已停产的模拟Curtis滤波器芯片来赋予灵魂——这种粗暴的混合架构,恰好击中了现代纯数字插件永远模拟不出的“玻璃般通透又带着粗粝工业感”的声学特质。

Waldorf - Microwave 1 微波合成器是数字波表合成历史中极具代表性的一款经典设备,它不仅继承了早期 PPG Wave 那种冷峻、锐利且富有未来感的声音特质,同时又通过 Waldorf 自身的设计理念赋予了它更强的调制能力与更鲜明的个性。作为一台将数字波表振荡器与模拟滤波部分相结合的混合式合成器,Microwave 1 最令人着迷的地方,在于它能够在复杂多变的波形之间平滑或跳跃式地移动,从而产生不断演化的音色层次,这种音色既可以表现出玻璃般通透的高频质感,也能塑造出阴冷、机械、粗粝甚至带有工业气息的音景。它尤其适合用于制作富有空间感的铺底、具有穿透力的主音、动态变化丰富的序列音色以及带有实验色彩的氛围纹理,在电子音乐、电影配乐和前卫声音设计领域中都拥有极高辨识度。正因如此,Waldorf - Microwave 1 并不只是单纯的一台“微波合成器”,更像是一件将数字时代想象力与模拟电路生命力融合在一起的声音工具。

Microwave 1 插件
Microwave 以其独特的波表合成与模拟滤波器相结合的诠释,定义了最佳的混合合成。现在,Waldorf Music 发布了 Microwave 1 插件,将这种神奇的乐器带回了全球的数字工作站。

35 年前,Waldorf Music 发布了其第一款乐器 Microwave,它风靡了 90 年代领先的音乐家和制作人的心。它的振动和独特的声音将 80 年代早期的波表声音带入了接下来十年兴起的电子舞曲音乐。大量的基线、神秘的波表调制、野蛮的攻击和如丝般顺滑的打击垫激发了一代又一代音乐家的灵感。Microwave 独特的波表合成与模拟滤波器相结合的诠释定义了最佳的混合合成。

现在是时候将这种神奇的乐器以软件形式带回全球制作人和音乐家的数字工作站了。 Waldorf Microwave 1 插件是经过精心改造的,保留了原始硬件的所有特性和奇妙之处。

经过多年的努力和辛勤的劳动,分析和建模了原始乐器,直至硬件各个方面最精细的声音细节。只有第一代 Microwave 和 Waldorf Wave 是基于定制开发的集成电路 Waldorf ASIC。ASIC 与传奇的 Curtis 滤波器芯片和非常独特的 68k CPU 控制器软件相结合,定义了一种非常特殊的波表声音,无与伦比。除了 80 年代波表合成的发明者 Wolfgang Palm 之外,没有人帮助设计了这种独特的芯片。Waldorf 付出了巨大的努力来分析和重建插件中的集成电路。与原版一样,无论 DAW 采样率如何,该插件都会以 250 kHz 的超高采样率运行内部合成。重新创建的数字波形与原始波形逐位进行比较,确保 100% 相同。

Microwave 1 Plugin
The Microwave defined hybrid synthesis at its best with its unique interpretation of wavetable synthesis combined with analogue filters. Now Waldorf Music brings this magical instrument back to digital workstations worldwide with the release of the Microwave 1 Plug-in.

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.
