Waldorf Music Waldorf M – 8-Voice Wavetable Synthesizer with Analog Filters & VCAs

OVERVIEW

The Waldorf Music Waldorf M is a modern reimagining of one of the most iconic wavetable synthesizers ever created, bringing together the unmistakable character of classic digital synthesis with the warmth and depth of true analog circuitry. At its core lies an 8-voice polyphonic, four-part multitimbral engine, designed to deliver complex, evolving textures and powerful layered sounds with precision and musicality.

Central to its sound are two wavetable oscillators per voice, each capable of operating in either Classic Microwave 1 mode or Modern Microwave II/XT mode. These distinct modes fundamentally alter the behaviour of the oscillators, allowing users to switch between raw, gritty digital tones and smoother, more refined textures. This dual-engine approach offers an expansive sonic range, making the Waldorf M equally suited for vintage emulation and forward-thinking sound design.

Housed in a striking full-metal chassis, the Waldorf M combines hands-on control with modern workflow enhancements. A high-resolution graphic display and intuitive encoder layout provide immediate access to deep synthesis parameters, enabling expressive performance and detailed sound shaping. The integration of analog filters and VCAs further enhances its tonal depth, resulting in a synthesizer that seamlessly blends heritage and innovation.
