Presets for the Waldorf M
We are proud to present our two new preset libraries for the Waldorf M. The first are 64 CLASSIC presets from our original Waldorf Microwave presets that we have accurately converted to the Waldorf M. Expect the same beautiful strings, evolving pads, fat bass and crystal clear bells from our Waldorf Microwave Library.
For the second library we designed 64 MODERN presets that take advantage of the new features of the Waldorf M. This library also contains beautiful strings, evolving pads with beautiful textures and details, subtle and extreme pluck sounds, basses, leads, bells and much more. Also note the new sounds that use the digital filter derived from the Waldorf XT.
We also combined these two libraries into one big library of 128 presets called COMPLETE and is available with 20% discount.
The Waldorf M is a direct descendant of the 1989 Waldorf Microwave. It has the identical architecture inside and also sounds like a Waldorf Microwave. The M uses 2 wavetable oscillators that pass through an analog filter and analog VCA. Characteristic of the Waldorf Microwave and M is the scrolling through wavetables, which has a unique and distinctive sound. This synthesis technique was once designed by Wolfgang Palm, known for the PPG Wave series.
Unfortunately, the Waldorf Microwave had no knobs to adjust the sound, making it quite a task to design sounds for the Waldorf Microwave. The Waldorf M, on the other hand, has an abundance of rotary knobs making it a real pleasure to design sounds on. So we really enjoyed designing these two preset libraries.
We like to thank Waldorf Music and especially Vladimir for providing us with a Waldorf M so we could convert and design these libraries.

No. For the original Waldorf Microwave and XT we have a separate collection of presets you can find here
We do not recommend this since the Waldorf M does not convert the presets in the correct way. Therefore we have converted and tweaked the Waldorf Microwave presets. It took us a long time to get it right.
No we did not include any multi programs. However you can use the presets to create your own multi-programs to make even thicker, fatter and larger sounds.
No. We chose not to use custom wave tables.
Sonic Freaks is in no way affiliated with Waldorf Music. However, Waldorf kindly lend us a Waldorf M to convert our Waldorf Microwave presets for the M. We are very grateful to them.
