Waldorf Music Microwave 1 v1.2.0 Window

Waldorf Music Microwave stands as a timeless icon in the world of digital and analog hybrid synthesis. Originally introduced over three decades ago, the Microwave helped define the cutting edge of sound design in the late ’80s and ’90s. With its unique blend of wavetable synthesis and analog filtering, the Microwave became a legendary tool for producers looking to craft bold, textured, and evolving sounds.

Now, Waldorf brings this iconic instrument back to the modern studio as a VST/AU plugin, faithfully emulating the Microwave 1 hardware with digital precision and authentic analog warmth. From classic EDM basslines to shimmering cinematic textures, this plugin is designed for producers, sound designers, and musicians who want uncompromised vintage character in their DAW environment.
