Microwave XTk |
You
lead!
Finally, an affordable wavetable synthesizer with a keyboard. And even more: a neat "carry me" 4 octave keyboard inviting you to take this orange invader to every gig or session you perform. So, with the Microwave XTk you get a velocity and release velocity sensitive 4 octave keyboard with aftertouch, pitch bend and modulation wheel and the famous and highly-acclaimed Microwave XT user interface full with 44 endless rotaries, 2x40 character display and 12 additional buttons for selecting multi and sound programs.
The Microwave XTk offers a stereophonic audio input and is expandable to 30 voices as the Microwave II and XT is.
Features:
- 49 key keyboard, velocity and release velocity, monophonic aftertouch
- Pitch Bend wheel
- Modulation wheel
- 12 buttons for selecting multi and sound programs
- 1 dial for page access
- 44 dials for parameter changes
- 2 buttons for parameter changes
- 1 master volume potentiometer
- 1 Play / Shift button
- 5 buttons for mode selection (3 buttons for "Sound", 1 button for "Multi", 1 button for "Global")
- 1 Standby button with alert function to assure that all edited sounds are stored
- Multi Mode with 8 individual instruments
- 10 voices
- 128 multis
- 256 sounds
- 64 ROM wavetables
- 32 RAM wavetables
- 64 waves per wavetable
- 500 waves
- arpeggiator, syncable to MIDI Clock
- programmable arpeggiator rhythm pattern per sound
- 4 integrated effect units (1 Chorus available for any instrument in multi mode, 1 separate effect for each of the first 3 instruments in multi mode)
- all parameters real time controllable through MIDI continous controller
- MIDI In / Out / Thru
- 1 stereo input
- 2 stereo outputs
Per voice:
- 2 oscillators
- oscillator synchronization
- oscillator FM, fully modulatable
- 2 wave generators
- noise generator
- ring modulator
- adjustable quality levels for aliasing, interpolation and clipping
- mixer, all levels (Wave 1, Wave 2, Noise, Ring Modulation, External In) modulatable with high resolution
- 2 multi mode filters, connected serially
- filter 1:
- low pass 12dB
- low pass 24dB
- band pass 12dB
- high pass 12dB
- sinus shaper with low pass filter 12dB
- wave shaper with low pass filter 12dB (selected wavetable determines the available shaper waves)
- Sample & Hold with low pass filter 12dB (real time sample rate reduction down to 23Hz)
- dual parallel filter with 12dB low pass and 12dB band pass, cutoff offset parameter for band pass
- 12dB low pass filter with filter FM (cutoff modulation through oscillator 2)
- filter 2:
- low pass 6dB
- high pass 6dB
- stereo amplifier, fully modulatable
- 8-time/level wave envelope with loop function, "one shot" mode, times and levels modulatable
- ADSR filter envelope, each phase modulatable separately
- ADSR amplifier envelope, each phase modulatable separately
- 4-time/level free envelope, bipolar, one shot mode, times and levels modulatable
- all envelopes work with separate trigger- and voice-modes, either monophonic or polyphonic:
- single trigger with zero return
- single trigger with return to last level
- retrigger with zero return
- retrigger with return to last level
- dual mode (two voices per note)
- unisono (all free voices at once)
- two LFOs, each with different shapes, syncable to MIDI clock, LFO 2 can be synced to LFO 1
- modulation matrix with 16 slots, all sources and destinations of the MicroWave and the Pulse plus new connections
- 4 freely usable modifiers with several operators and algorithms
