DESCRIPTION

This is an old instrument from 2007; it’s basically a modification of NanoWaves by Uwe G. Hoenig found in the R5 library.

I made a few alterations and a new gui for it since the old gui was rather ugly, most everything remains as it was 3 years ago. Unfortunately I do not have time or patience right now to rebuild the synth and make accessing the parameters easier. Hopefully a nice gui will ease the pain of trying to program the instrument. Sorry for the instrument being difficult to program but it was a long time ago and I didn’t really understand much about design back then…I was just starting out.

For the snapshots I have only added 3 snaps; However in Bank 1 (select in the snap browser) the original 89 snapshots by Don Dailey and myself are provided, due to some of the changes I made internally to the instrument they may not work correctly, feel free to check them out none the less.

Despite the instrument being a chore to program there are some interesting sound to be had from it.

Enjoy,
Jonathan Style

Figured it out. In the panel area, I routes V 1.00 audio to the output, which also removed V2.02's Then in the panel area, I deselected Noted and V 2.02.

I am confused as hell and I wish I could get the Orange one to work.

Having owned a Microwave XT I actually like the older version better. Excellent ensemble though, it somehow really feels like the machine itself and I spent way more time playing around with it than I had expected. Superb!

the lfo amount in the modmatrix has only a range of +1/-1 ...way too little for osc pitch modulation

The new version (mostly gui) does have some internal changes but given how long it took me to change all the graphics I did not make many snaps. However, if you open the snapshot browser the snaps from the pervious version are still there, the same that is in the orange one. Please refer to the manual if you are unsure how to select different banks of snapshots in the browser. Again since I made changes internally some snapshots will work ok and some will not sound so great. The lower set of panel elements will only show the parameter changes when you are viewing that page that that corresponds to them in the upper section, they however should be heard say for example you change the the octave you should hear this if you change it on the lower or upper panel elements, you will only see it however if you have selected that display for the upper set of controls. Because the controls are in a stacked macro there is no way to make them popup when you adjust a value in the lower control. If you find one of the controls is not working check the ‘internal & osc connects’ in the properties I might have missed a few or something happened to break it. If you can tell me which one is not working I will look into it.
