dipching Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Hans Zimmer owns at least two of these.

Synthoid Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Coolest looking synth ever. I like this one as well: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7024/6771884339_16b35b98b7_z.jpg When an eel hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a Moray.

Sundown Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 It had one of the most drool-worthy front panels in history, but I don't know if the sound measured up. Unless you like PPG-style digital tones, it's a bit of an oddball. But what can you really tell from a Youtube demo... It's not like these were popping up in local Guitar Centers for hands-on trials.

Synthoid Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 It's not like these were popping up in local Guitar Centers for hands-on trials. I read somewhere that only 300 "Waves" were made. Not sure how many made it to the US. When an eel hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a Moray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Coda Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I read somewhere that only 300 "Waves" were made.

Al Coda Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I'd be happy with just one. Perhaps, when you owned one, you´d wished to own none. I doubt these were very reliable toys. The original Waldorf company went bancrupt because of this beast. And, if you´re not fallen in love w/ all the aliasing the original Waldorf WAVE OSCs introduced,- there´s the equivalent from ZARG (John Bowen) originally designed for Hans Zimmer too: Quantumwave You must have a Creamware 14/15 DSP card, multiple cards or a S|C XITE box, but it sounds killer. Hans uses S|C XITE-1s too. A.C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Coda Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Might take 3 to keep 1 running! Can be. Even PPG WAVEs were erratic devices. But Hans possibly is not only a successful composer but also a synth nerd and collector. A.C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mate stubb Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 What I heard was that the OS was buggy and never finished on the Wave.

Synthoid Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Waldorf's reputation for releasing keyboards with an unfinished OS just amazes me. From what I recall the "Q" was buggy, and people had various issues with the Blofeld as well. I guess the programmers spent too much time enjoying their German beer...

mate stubb Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 More likely the programmers had the code ripped from their bleeding hands, so that the company could sell something quick to get some cash flow going.
