Classic Mode vs. Modern Mode
As you have probably already noticed, M offers two diffe-
rent operating modes for the oscillators - the Classic
Microwave I mode and the Modern Microwave II/XT mo-
de.

To switch between both modes, press the
Mode
but-
ton right to the display. If the buttons lits, the Modern
Microwave II/XT mode is active.
The wavetables oscillators behave differently in both mo-
des. Major differences are :
•
There is no Hard Sync and Ring Modulation available
in Classic Microwave I mode.
•
16-bit wavetables are bit-reduced to 8 bit in the Clas-
sic Microwave I mode.
•
The Classic mode offers a 240 kHz no-antialiased
sample rate. The Modern mode offers a 40 kHz samp-
le rate with bandlimited wavetables.
•
There is no "ASIC Mix Bug" setting available for the
Modern Microwave II/XT mode.
There is one restriction regarding the use of the Modern
Oscillator mode in Multi mode: Only the first Part can use
the Modern mode.
Oscillator Mixer (MIX) Section
In the Oscillator Mixer section you control
the volumes of both oscillators and the
Noise generator. If an oscillator volume dial
is turned fully counterclockwise, no signal is
passed.

It is possible to introduce analog satu-
ration of the VCF input. The VCF cir-
cuit in the Waldorf M was designed to
saturate about 70% of the oscillator's
maximum mixer output (oscillator le-
vel setting 75 and above). This analog
saturation acts as a mild overdrive
effect and brings a little more warmth
to the sound. The effect may vary de-
pending on the waveform of the oscil-
lators or their combination. In order
to check this effect sonically, it is
recommended to select the single os-
cillator of the sine wave and increase
the level of this oscillator until the sa-
turation can be heard.
