One of the Absolute BEST!!!!!
No mutator option on IOS
No mutator option on IOS
Fix the knobs in auv3 please
Sounds great but on my mini like 50% of the knobs are too sensitive in auv3 version only to the point if being unusable with fingers without an external midi controller. Standalone works well.
Midi Kanäle vergessen?
Ihr habt leider die Midikanäle vergessen. Die kann man nicht einstellen! Was soll das denn? Bitte um kurze Info, Danke.
Patch Browser Bug
Nice instrument, but the patch browser is buggy when using more than one instance in a DAW. The layout doesn’t fit the screen in a DAW, so you have scroll using one red dot overlay. It would be easier to rid of that and make a two finger scroll or something. Sounds are great, but the browser is a bunch of random unorganized patches. Someone should organize them into categories.
I love Waldorf Synths
Microwave1 is an excellent representation of the hardware at a reasonable price. Microwave1 is a great sounding app. The diversity of timbres are highly useful while, when pushed can be exotic sounding. Wavetable synthesis has flexibility traditional oscillators simply can’t accomplish. In many ways the Microwave1 reminds me of their hardware Microwave and Q. The sonic flexibility is amazing and worth whatever it sells for. Highly recommended.
Great sound, but UI does not scroll
Great sounding recreation of the MW 1. In Logic Pro for iPad 2.0.1 on an 11“ iPad Pro you cannot scroll the plug-in UI vertically, so that you have no access to the lower part of the synth parameters and the built-in keyboard. This works with other AU instruments. Please fix.
Midi Channel Input
Well there are 16 Channels MIDI available normally. Frustrating such easy things do not exist. Why?
Pas de presse favoris en 2024 !!!
Comment peut-on créer une application en 2024 sans options favoris ?!!!
The piano setting button does nothing on my iPad Pro m1
See above
Excellent sounding but…
I keep my 5th star until they enhance the preset menu selection (you have to select banks manually) and more importantly, until they implement MIDI 2.0 with property exchange so as it maps automatically with my Kong Keystage master keyboard.
Sound super, Bedienung nicht so
Der Sound gefällt mir sehr gut, aber auf einem normalen iPad ist die die Bedienung ziemlich unangenehm: die Schrift ist einfach zu klein, was ja noch zu verschmerzen wäre, weil man schnell lernt, was wo ist, aber die Bedienelemente sind ebenfalls klein, und daher unangenehm zu bedienen. So eine GUI funktioniert vielleicht gut auf einem 13”-Bildschirm, darunter muss man halt doch anders denken. Schade, hatte mich sehr gefreut, aber so werde ich das Teil sicher nicht verwenden.
WOOLY BULLY rolf the wolf's best yet MAMMOTH JAMMETH
Skeuomorphicisism defined by that beautiful KNOB, and the amazing WaVE TABLES that somehow, are redefining the cutting edge in back to the Futuristic low end theory the Doc would sure love, with invisible internals exposed, idiot proof modulation patching, i want to like to try this sweater on ...and destroy Marty's rig like its '88 🔈🔊🔈🔉🔈🔊💨🌬️🔥1/4 inch jacks so yeah dont pull my string and walk away 😂although these beautiful articulated envelopes will be harmoniously singing 🎵 when you return...although having another I/0 is exclusively for logic fanboys like you guys i am excited to attempt to run this pristine emulation through AUM with all my goodies, now Waldorf please give us Nave + Attack + Microwave the whole thing together add thenglue in NS2 🤔thats some heavier mettle (especially when i start hitting modulation targets effortlessly with my micto microfreak wave setup 🤔 wows and whoilã so please actually we can make them AUV3 together with mad scientist rolf back theře cheffin WOW 🤯 lil C plus you know 😉 Awesome job Waldorf a story in a synth this is up there with Dagger for me in Awesome playability plus the razor sharp polyforce is simple fenius with the red light 🚦 perfectly executed 🥂
mit Luft nach oben...
Super Sounds, Waldorf eben. Darauf kommts ja eigentlich an...aber eben auch auf ein gutes GUI auf dem nicht einmal DinA4 großen Display! (s.u.) Da ich schon 12 versch Hw-Synths habe (ua W. Iridium), bin ich aber froh über iPad Synths. Nur würde ich mir nach kurzem Test für die App Folgendes wünschen (auch wenn es manche Dinge beim Original ggf nicht gibt, aber hier hat man eben ein paar Möglichkeiten mehr): - lauterer Output (auf iPadProM4 ist das Teil bei 100% Vol nur gefühlt 75% so laut wie Moog und andere Apps) - Keyboard Velocity optional - Bypass button für Filter - Potis optional linear oder zirkular bedienbar - Potis durch double tap auf 0 setzbar. Das ist einer der Standards bei guten GUIs. - die digitalen Werte der Potis wären besser sichtbar, würden sie weiter entfernt vom sie verdeckenden Finger eingeblendet, zB immer in einem fix positionierten Overlay in der Kopfzeile - für ua Velo H und L bei Multi sind die Eingaben sehr sperrig. Wären da nicht typische iPad-Wheels ggf besser? Und versteh ich was falsch: setze ich den Velo L Wert auch auf 127, würde ich über die gesamte Länge der Taste 127 erwarten, und nicht nur auf den unteren paar Pixeln, und der 99% der Taste sind tot. - besserer Browser für Presets - ein auf das iPad abgestimmtes Manual (es gibt halt weder Maus noch Ctrl etc, das möchte ich nicht lesen in einem iPad-Manual! Dafür gibt es im DT-Publishing Variantenkontrolle.) - im Manual Verlinkung des Inhaltsverzeichnisses. Wir haben 2024, da kann man das locker erwarten. Andere schaffen das. Wird die Sw besser, dh ua og Punkte, wird das Mac-Plugin für Ableton angeschafft.
Sounds like the hardware synth…
…because it is the reconstructed soul of the original, which is amazing to me.😁 It even has that inexplicable warmth that the Microwave had despite being digital. if you know, you know. Some patches, like White Shadow and Let it grow, almost sound like an analog synth, which makes no sense but it’s true. They have that almost tangible aural texture and feel. Journey to Wave is gonna make me cry. With a fancy reverb like my Eventide H90, it sounds even more amazing.😭 For less than $20, it’s a no-brainer. Don’t think about it and just get it. I deafly bought it without even listening to it, and was so pleased when I heard the first factory patch. Not gonna ruin the little surprises, but the UI has a couple ones to be discovered.😀 Waldorf, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS SYNTH BACK, and even better, to the portable realm. ❤️ Dream come true for me and many other lovers of your old hardware synths that defined our upbringing. PS: Please do not abandon it like you tend to do with your releases.
Good to see Waldorf back!
Another wonderful synth app from Waldorf after so many years. Sounds really good and a wonderful addition to my soft synth collection. Great to see you back, Waldorf!
Incredible
Not only does this synth sound incredibly good, whoever designed the UI deserves an award. Everything is so straightforward and laid out so well it’s very easy to just pick up and use. Tons of presets included sound great and are extremely easy to tweak thanks to how well thought out and placed the controls are. Don’t sleep on this one if you’re in the market for iOS synths!
Really cool!
This synth is different enough and sounds great! Get it!
Sounds incredible.
Waldorf knocked it outta the park with this one. Wow.
Another Waldorf winner.
The sound sets are awesome, and I love app design. Thanks Waldorf.
