03In depth

Sound Character of the Microwave 1 Patches

The patches cover a broad range of sounds: evolving ambient textures, organic pads, house stabs, pumping basses, leads and sound effects. Resonance Sound describes the presets as having an analog character, and the Microwave 1 is built on digitally sampled wavetables processed through analog-style VCA envelopes and VCF filters, which gives the sounds their warm, slightly gritty edge.

The developer points to hard techno and rave tones, deep basses and typical house stabs as strengths of the instrument, along with gentle lead sounds. Since the synth has no internal effects, the demo uses a few standard effect plugins, while all sounds except the drums come from the Microwave 1 plugin.
