Waldorf Microwave Editor/Librarian and Virtualizer
for Windows and Macintosh OS X

Congratulations on owning the Waldorf Microwave. You know something that many musicians have forgotten, that whatever the reason, hardware synths and effects simply sound better.

Software synths and effects do have advantages. They work right inside your sequencer; sounds are stored on the computer with easy access and on screen editing; and if you want, you can even automate sound edits while your sequence plays. All you have to do is twist the knobs of your soft-synth to record the changes.

With Sound Quest's Editor/Librarian and Virtualizer software, you can give your Waldorf Microwave these advantages as well. You are even able to integrate the Microwave into your digital audio sequencer and use it the same way you use soft-synths. Now you can display, edit, tweak, organize, audition, archive and manage your Microwave from the center of your studio: the computer screen.

MIDI Quest XL, Midi Quest and UniQuest work with the following information from the Microwave: Multi Bank, Multi Bank (Card), Multi, Multi Sound 1, Multi Sound 2, Multi Sound 3, Multi Sound 4, Multi Sound 5, Multi Sound 6, Multi Sound 7, Multi Sound 8, Sound Bank, Sound, Global, Wave Bank (Card), Wave Bank (ROM), Wave Bank (User), Wave (Card), Wave (User), Velocity Int Table 1, Velocity Int Table 2, Velocity Table 3 (Card), Velocity Table 4 (Card), Status, Program Change Table, Multi Change Table, Tuning Table 1, Tuning Table 2, Tuning Table 3 (Card), Tuning Table 4 (Card), Cartridge Dump, All Waves&Tables and All Tables.
