Microwave I: Analog Bass Emulations (Presets)

Hi there!

**NOTE This soundbank was designed for the Waldorf Microwave 1. From what I heard is that the single patches are compatible with the Microwave II & XT but be advised that there may be differences in sound.***

Thanks for your interest in this soundbank for the Waldorf Microwave. This one focusses in particularly on the Bass side of the Microwave, with the right treatment it can do some really deep bass sounds. I consider these presets to be useful and punchy. There aren’t a lot of proper sound banks available on the net for the Microwave, I do attempts to get the best out of this synthesizer. 

Listen to the attached showreel for an impression of the sounds.

What do you get:

This kit contains a variety of 64 different multi purpose Bass presets focussing on low-end and vintage character.


Important notes:

• This is not a sample kit

• These patches are “Single Patches” and not the so called “Multi’s”, you can of course stack these patches in your Multi section and get even fatter sounds.

• These patches are stored in one native Sysex file that the Microwave can understand. The file is small, but all patches are in there.

• Single patches can be found in a separate folder so you can use them one by one.

• It’s recommended that you use Sysex or a similar alike program to transfer the soundbank/patches to your Microwave. Just set the correct speeds for transferring.

• By pressing play or transfer, the internal patches are overwritten. No further functionality should be turned on in order to write the sounds to to the Microwave.

• Device number should be 0 and the Midi channel should correspond to the Sysex program or DAW channel.

• To transfer the patches/soundbank just press “send” and the Microwave’s green light will start too bling, once done it stops.

• This soundbank was designed for the Waldorf Microwave 1. From what I heard is that the single patches are compatible with the Microwave II & XT but be advised that there may be differences in sound.

• It’s is recommended that you have the V2.0 Eproms installed, some patches use newer waveforms but they should work with the old Eproms too. I can recommend the upgrade to V2.0, it adds new waveforms and many more functionalities and brings more life in your precious vintage Microwave. From what i’ve heard the patches should be backwards compatible with the Microwave 2.0. I have never tested my patches on this machine though so I can not guarantee. The single patches will probably work but the soundbank won’t be compatible for transfer.
