hi all, im doing a microwave I controller. simply because this is a great noise machine … no idea why there is none up to now. maybe because the sysex info is kind of hard to come by … but here we go.
im going to document it here every now and then …
i cant find a list of ALL the parameter sysex code … so im starting off with the sysex dumps from an access controller that somebody posted here. thanks!
filter cutoff:
SYSX: 240 62 0 0 96 0 3 12 1 127 247 decimal translates into
F0 3e 0 0 60 0 3 c 1 7f f7this works! … im going to go through all the access parameters like this one by one. if somebody has a complete waldorf list, please post it.
so here are most of the sysex codes but not all of them hidden. in ctrlr take this string "F0 3e 0 0 60 0 (a) (b) xx 7f f7" and replace the paramater code (a) (b) with the second and 3rd number in each line of the following text if there is one. so for cutoff that would be (3) (c) … those are the most important params but i still need the rest.
General info
Sys-Ex dumps and requests will always be in the following format:F0h IDW DEV IDM
data
CHKSUM F7hwhere
F0h : Status for System Exclusive
IDW : Waldorf MIDI ID = 3Eh
IDE : Equipment ID = 00h for MicroWave
DEV : Device number, 00h to 7Eh, 7Fh = global
IDM : Message ID
data : whatever data bytes, 00h to 7Fh
CHKSUM : Sum of all data bytes truncated to 7 bits. The addition is done
in 8 bit format, the result is masked to 7 bits (00h to 7Fh).
IMPORTANT: The MIDI status bytes as well as the ID’s are not
used for computing the checksum.
If there are no data bytes in the message (simple
request), the checksum will always be 00h.

im cheating here, the filter sweep is done with a moog filter
” title=”Wink” />great. i was the one that dumped the access programmer data …. if you have created the panel…. please share !
I plan on converting my microwave II/XT(k) panel to a microwave 1 panel. Speak up if you’re interested
” title=”Smile” />
I’ve got a 2.5 rev of monstrumWave almost complete with tons of new features and contextual UI improvements. rev 3.0 already under way will have a wavetable editor and possibly a multimode step sequencer if I have time.Monstrum Media | Music, Sound & Software Design, Chicago / San Francisco listen
Yes.. Microwave would be great. I can’t wait to try the new monstrum wave. Thank You!

Here’s a copy of what I’ve got so far, sorry for the weird duplicate post.
All graphics are rough, everything’s in place I just need to convert all the sysex from the mwaveXT to the mwave89 besides work on the look/feel a bit…

I just bought an original waldorf microwave so I’m happy to say my monstrumWave89 panel is imminent!
I’ve more or less scrapped any layout I posted before – although it’s a similar architecture the parameters are radically different enough from the XT to warrant a complete UI redesign of the panel.. damn, I’m embarrassed now of those red/green xmas looking screenshots I posted in march! I think i just wanted to show that I was making -some- progress on this.
Monstrum Media | Music, Sound & Software Design, Chicago / San Francisco listen
this is good news! congrats.. that thing is amazing. I’m glad you went with the redesign after playing with it. can’t wait.
Yes! After one full day of having the synth here I’ve got a very basic working editor, I’ve got a rev A microwave with OS 1.2, apparently the 2.0 chips I got are defective OR my rev A can not be upgraded to OS 2.0?
Anyway, here’s a screen shot, everything shown is functional!
Not tighted up from a design standpoint yet but it’s working. No Multimode yet, No patch dumps from synth yet (to update all parameters to current sound), doesn’t yet display sound names and no wavetable or waveform editor just yet.This synth sounds so incredibly amazing. So nice to have the synth AND a basic editor created so quickly although I’ve clearly been studying this synth since before I got mine 🙂
Monstrum Media | Music, Sound & Software Design, Chicago / San Francisco listen
microwave 1 editor is my biggest dream !!! when will you release it? any chance to test it?
looks fantastic……;) it would be the most exciting news for a long time to finally see the release of this editor…… can´t tell you how much i need this one after upgrading to 10.8 and realising that there´s no working version of midiquest at all 🙁
working on it this week! Stay tuned!
Monstrum Media | Music, Sound & Software Design, Chicago / San Francisco listen
I’m a few (maybe less?) days away from releasing monstrumWave89 rev 1.0, my editor for the original microwave 1!
The 1.0 release will be not offer any multi arrangement editing capabilities, but you can edit every sound parameter, load, edit and store sound programs, wavetables and waveforms all within the editor. I think it’s safe to say that will keep you occupied until the future updates bring you more to spend endless hours rediscovering what is arguably one of the most capable synths from the 80’s – Waldorf’s original 2RU Microwave 1.
monstrumWave89 covers EVERY aspect that monstrumWaveXT handles, with the addition of the ability to compare, recall and store programs from the editor’s interface to the synth.
The editor is complete in it’s coverage all the way up to the most recent (1994?) OS update – 2.0. If you don’t have 2.0, no love lost, you can still use this while you wait for your 2.00 Eprom Pair to ship from the guy on ebay who apparently happened to inherit Waldorf’s stockpile 🙂
If you’re interested in grabbing a copy when it’s released reply here and I’ll PM you back or contact me through the simple contact form at http://www.monstrummedia.com/contact.html… Or hell it might even be released by the time you’re reading this! monstrumWave89 will be available for $79 USD. This is an absolute steal considering the fact that
1) Nothing else exists out there that gives this amount of complete control of this classic synth within such an easy on the eye and (contrary to the alternatives) dead simple to use interface. period.
2) sounddiver? midiquest? in 2013? Come on. Been there. Done that. Give me a break. As one beta tester said: “It’s about freaking time somebody picks up the slack and release a microwave editor as extensively powerful yet incredibly coherent and nice looking as this!!”
3) Mac? Windows? Linux? Check all three, you’re covered. monstrumWave89 will be available as a standalone application and VST(beta) which is fully compatible with the latest windows, OS X with compilable builds available for all modern linux distros.
Something from the 80’s is about to come back to kick your ass for letting dust collect on it’s big red nose! 🙂
My apologies for standing on a soapbox here and getting so excited but this thing is blowing doors open over here. You’ve gottq remember I’m a musician before I ever was considered a “programer”!!
