    Waldorf Microwave 1 VST3 NKS

    https://waldorfmusic.com/microwave/
    • Custom Template (22 pages)
    • Resources
    • 8 Banks / 402 unique presets (45 duplicates removed)
    • Basic Tagging (Types only)
    • No previews! (if any of the usual suspects here wishes to make them, i would be grateful) :-)
    • Single presets only. No multis. In my opinion those will require a separate template. A single template to cover all possible parameters will need 120 pages (or more!), which is totally unpractical.

    Enjoy this beast!

    Here is Microwave 1 presets re-saved by @Diam, for screen size 75%

    Though it may be a moniker of mine, you my friend, are a Diamond. This is great, thanks!

    Thanks - not sure if I can do the previews using the demo?

    Waldorf has been making their synth NKS compliant (I mean making NKS presets), I guess they did not get around to it this time.

    Some graphic resources I made for the mk2 keyboard.

    @Kymeia Reason I was looking for the quick save, is so I can resave all of these presets to default screen size 75% as the native size is too big for my screen. Unfortunately also, seems Waldorf need to fix this bug as you can not set the screen size to default as far as I can tell. On every new instance it defaults back to 100%. But as you probably know, if they are saved in KK at a specific size it recalls the plugin state correctly.

    Making a synth NKS compliant and, providing NKS presets, are 2 completely different things…

    There is an easy way to do this, by using a program such as Notepad++ (or a similar one for Mac). You need to open preset with it, then go to the bottom of the file and change the values for Width and Height.

    It is simple math:
    Width value for screen size 100%, is 1375 pixel, thus for 75%, it should be 1031 pixels.
    Height value for screen size 100%, is 805 pixel, thus for 75%, it should be 603 pixels.

    Do it to one preset and test it. If it works as expected, then you can use the command "replace in files" (on notepad++). Choose the presets directory then replace this: Width="1375" Height="805" with this: Width="1031" Height="603". See example below.

    Demo is fully functional for 30 days! And it should include all banks and presets, though i can't be 100% sure though.

    However, if you do this, you have to use the NKS as base and not the original presets because i made massive modifications! They were really ugly, with lot of empty space in presets titles between words or at the end of the name, while others had a lot of unusual (and incompatible with Komplete Kontrol and Maschine) characters. Names like: 

    Mode 1          " 
    
or, 
    
Zen-BASS 1    &#31

    I removed all of those nonsense.

    Ahh mate. I'm old school I guess. Resaving was easier. Sent you the revised at 75% screen size.

    Coincidentally you can do that kind of automation in Mac automator also and a lot of things direct from the finder, however I reasoned by the time I dug through the script I would be half way there. Can't believe I have never tried keyboard shortcuts in KK until today after Kymeia highlighted it. I think somehow as I use it as a slave mostly, it never really occurred to me.

    Just noticed in the latest Microwave 1 v1.1.0 update one of the bug fixes is:

    • Various Spellings improved.

    Not sure if this will affect some of the saved NKS presets in this upload, but just occurred to me.

    Just got the Blofeld plugin so will be working on a template and the patches look importable into NKS pretty easily too - probably just be one part though

    Look forward to that. Not played with it yet, but it sounded pretty good from what I saw.

    OK step one - get the layout right. This is a first draft of the mapping, no graphics etc yet. The big problem is this is a buggy plugin, several knobs are mislabelled or use labels inconsistently so I have tried to correct those. Annoyingly making the FX was really hard as for both banks several params are reused for different FX so it's a bit messy but I tried to make the best of it. For FX 2 if you learn any param there is a bug where it learns all instances of the same param across multiple parts so I really had to do a lot of menu diving to find the right params to map. So there is zero chance of me making a mapping for multiple parts - although I guess I could add the multi part mixer view

    Thanks for doing this. I will give it a go. Here are the graphics.

    I found a list on github for the 1024 factory preset from 2012, so I can get those done. I didn't find a list for 2008 presets.

    Thanks I’ve been trying to export them using Automator but the preset names are full of gaps and it’s going slowly
