Protein is an affordable and compact 8 voice polyphonic Wavetable synthesizer based on the original Microwave 1 ASIC oscillators combined with modern features of Iridium heritage like the sophisticated arpeggiator, step sequencer, chord mode, effects and more. Protein links back to the very beginnings of Waldorfs instrument makings but interprets the original ideas in a contemporary and surprising way.
Wavetable – Structure in Motion
Dive into wavetables that evolve like living matter. Control their movement and texture with envelope and velocity modulation. Each waveform shifts and transforms – vivid, expressive, and endlessly alive.
Filter – The DNA of Sound
Sculpt your tone with Cutoff Track, Resonance, Dirt, and flexible Envelope Amount. From crystal clarity to raw, earthy grit – Protein resonates at every sonic layer.
Layer – Dynamic Sound Structure
The 8 voices can be organized in up to 4 layers allowing for complex sonic layered arrangements, surprising round robin modes, or simply split by MIDI channels for poly timbral operation. With the Load Layer feature new sonic arrangements can be created in seconds by simply re-combining existing layers from the whole preset collection.
Effects – Refinement on a Molecular Level
From subtle shine to cinematic space: reverb, delay, modulation, and more. Every detail can be shaped with precision. Amount defines intensity, Type defines character.
Envelopes & Modulation – Intelligent Motion
Organic modulation meets precise control. Every envelope, every source, every target connects fluidly. Protein responds intuitively – as if it understands the language of your music.
Presets – Inspiration for your music
Protein comes with over 150 factory presets of huge variety and is capable to store up to 250 presets. With the 4 layer concept you can mix and match from the existing library and create new combinations with the easy to use „Load Layer“ feature. Build rich and surprising sonic complexity from simple parts within seconds.
Pitch – Total command of Every Tone Cell
Shape pitch with meticulous precision. From various scales and chords to smooth, fluid glides – Protein responds instantly to every nuance of your performance.
