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.
微波以其结合模拟滤波器对波表合成的独特解释,将混合合成定义为最佳。现在,随着Microwave 1插件的发布,Waldorf Music将这种神奇的乐器带回了全球的数字工作站。
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.
35年前,华尔道夫音乐公司发布了其首款乐器——微波炉,该乐器在90年代的顶尖音乐家和制作人心中引起了轰动。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。巨大的基线、神秘的波表调制、残酷的攻击和丝绸般光滑的垫子激发了几代音乐家的灵感。微波对波表合成的独特解释与模拟滤波器相结合,定义了混合合成的最佳状态。
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.
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插件是从原始硬件中精心重新创建的,具有所有的特质和奇妙的奇异性。
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.
经过多年的努力和爱的劳动,对原始乐器进行了分析和建模,精确到硬件各个方面的最佳声音细节。只有第一代微波和华尔道夫波基于一种定制开发的集成电路,称为华尔道夫ASIC。结合传奇的柯蒂斯滤波器芯片和非常独特的基于68k CPU的控制器软件,ASIC定义了一种无与伦比的非常特殊的波表声音。除了八十年代波表合成的发明者沃尔夫冈·帕尔姆,没有人帮助设计了这种独特的芯片。Waldorf花费了巨大的精力在插件中分析和重建这个集成电路。与原始插件一样,该插件以250 kHz的超高采样率运行内部合成,而不管DAW采样率如何。重新创建的数字波形与原始波形进行了逐位比较,以确保100%相同。
