I purchased my Microwave in 1991, knowing I could never afford the PPG Wave synths but wanting the unique wavetable sounds. It's been in my collection of vintage synthesizers for fourteen years, and I will not let it go. I'm still surprised by the depth and sheer beauty of its sounds; the Microwave is a sound designer's delight, and if anyone reading this review has an opportunity to buy one, by all means do it!

I used to have a MW2 and eventually sold it. I thought it was a little weak. Recently I bought a MW1, and believe me when I say that there is no comparison! The MW1 being analog really does sound different. Much fatter and has that "random" analog character. I liken it to a super jupiter combined with an FM engine (for that digital clanginess) that does wave sequencing. Definitely a keeper.

I love this synth! It has a great punchy sound..great bass,leads,pads,digital-analog strange sounds machine. I own even a MWxt and I love them both but MW1 has a stronger character than MW2 or MWxt..real analog power!! analog metallic beast..

I only got my Microwave a few months ago, a collegue gave it to me while i was visiting his studio, he said he bought it new 10 years ago but hadnt really used it for a few years. Anyway, he told me to take it home and play around with it, so i did...wow!, nice synth. It didnt take long to start making wicked soundz, i got the performance & programming manuals with it. A brilliant peice of kit, iv'e already used it on a production for a T.V. ad, & it wont be long before it gets used again. Anyone know of any tricks to use on it?
