Microwave II XT
Spectral Wavetable Synthesizer

mwxt1.jpg (91787 Byte)Oversized?

Absolutely! Five units Microwave II, packed with exactly 44 (read: forty-four) dials for sound editing, one dial for page select and a potentiometer whose task is only to control the master volume. Equipped with the above, the Microwave XT features more controls than any other current synthesizer (except the Waldorf Wave, of course).

This beast is built as a 19"-rack-mountable desktop machine with optionally available wooden sides. When mounted into a rack, the cables still fit into the housing without the need for an extra unit of rack space.

We expanded the DSP RAM drastically to make room for more effects like flanger, overdrive, phaser, ring modulator and delay.

What's more, the Microwave XT will be shipped starting with OS V1.5 which includes new filter types, modulatable FM and other enhancements besides the previous Microwave II operating systems.
