Kern is now offering their plugin Check, a spectral mono-compatibility analyzer for free. It works on Windows and macOS and comes in VST3 and AU formats. This plugin might be a lifesaver if your mix tends to collapse on mono systems!

And at the center of that story sits the Waldorf Microwave and its bright-orange descendant, the Microwave XT. These weren’t polite synths. They didn’t blend in. They cut through. Quick Summary 👉 The Waldorf Microwave and Microwave XT are classic wavetable synthesizers descended from the legendary PPG Wave. They combine digital oscillators with analog-style filtering to create evolving, aggressive, and expressive sounds. Check out the plugin VST version of the Waldoef Microwave here. Wavetable Synthesis —…
