Waldorf M – Classic Wavetable Synthesis Reimagined

The Waldorf M is a modern homage to the iconic Microwave series, delivering authentic 1980s and 1990s wavetable synthesis with powerful new features for today’s musicians and sound designers. Combining true Curtis analog filters, multi-mode operation, and two independent LFOs per part, M gives you the unmistakable sound of vintage digital hardware—with enhanced control and workflow for studio or stage.

Key Features:

Classic & Modern Wavetable Engines

  • Two selectable synthesis modes:

    • Microwave I (1989): 8-bit classic wavetable mode with true-to-original aliasing

    • Microwave II/XT (1997): expanded interpolation with modern clarity

  • Over 96 original wavetables, with user import via SD card

True Analog Filter Section

  • 24 dB/oct low-pass analog filter, based on the Curtis CEM 3320 chip

  • Additional analog VCA stage for warm, punchy dynamics

  • Independent ADSR envelope generators for both VCF and VCA

Multi-Timbral Operation

  • 4-part multitimbrality, with independent settings per part

  • Each part supports its own arpeggiator, effects, and modulation settings

  • Flexible layering and splits via internal routing or MIDI control

Dual Oscillators + Sub

  • Two wavetable oscillators per voice

  • Each oscillator supports independent wave selection and modulation

  • Optional pink and white noise, plus a dedicated sub oscillator

Extensive Modulation

  • 2 LFOs per part, each with multiple waveforms and sync options

  • Modulation Matrix with 4 user-assignable slots per part

  • Support for complex routing between LFOs, envelopes, and MIDI controls

Specifications:

  • Polyphony: Up to 16 voices, with dynamic voice allocation

  • Multitimbrality: 4 parts

  • Oscillators: 2 wavetable oscillators per voice, with noise and sub-oscillator

  • Filters:

    • Analog 24 dB/oct low-pass filter (CEM 3320)

    • Analog VCA

  • Envelopes: 2 ADSRs per part

  • LFOs: 2 per part, with multiple waveforms and sync

  • Modulation Matrix: 4 slots per part

  • Effects: Stereo digital effects per part (Reverb, Chorus, Flanger, etc.)

  • Arpeggiator: On each part, syncable to MIDI clock

  • Memory: 2,048 sound programs + 128 multi programs

  • User WAV support: SD card import for custom wavetables

  • Display: High-contrast OLED screen with clear parameter layout

Connectivity:

  • Stereo Audio Outputs (L/R)

  • Stereo Audio Inputs (for processing external signals)

  • MIDI In, Out, Thru (DIN)

  • USB MIDI

  • SD Card Slot for preset and wavetable management

  • Expression Pedal input

In the Box:

  • Waldorf M Desktop Synthesizer

  • Power Supply

  • Quick Start Guide

The Heart of Wavetable Synthesis, Reborn

The Waldorf M revives the soul of the Microwave I and II/XT while adding modern flexibility, deeper modulation, and rich analog tone-shaping. Whether you’re chasing the gritty textures of early digital hardware or sculpting crystalline soundscapes for the future, M gives you hands-on access to decades of electronic music legacy—rebuilt for today.
