Layers Wave Edition's straightforward user interface invites you to experiment on your own and create presets from scratch that sound just the way you want them to. Synthetic, evolving, dreamy, soft or rock hard – Layers Wave Edition has you covered.

The Waldorf Wave premiered in the early 90s. Despite its deep synthesis features, it was easy to use with its generous offering of knobs, buttons and faders to tweak just about every parameter it had to offer. A digital instrument, it still featured a set of analog filters that gave it a warmer sound than what is normally associated with Wavetable instruments. It was found in many well-funded studios of the era, since the initial price was close to $10,000.
