Waldorf M 16Voice

Waldorf M 16 Voice is a powerful 16-voice wavetable synthesizer that combines classic digital architecture with modern enhancements. With two wavetable oscillators per voice, an analog 24dB lowpass filter (SSI 2144), stereo analog VCA, and extensive modulation capabilities, it offers a rich and expressive sound engine. The desktop-format synth is fully multitimbral and supports up to four independent parts simultaneously, each with its own arpeggiator and chord mode.

Designed as a modern successor to the Microwave 1, the M 16 Voice integrates 96 factory wavetables per oscillator plus 32 user-loadable wavetables, allowing for deep sonic customization. Modulation options include two ADSR envelopes, two 8-stage envelopes, and two syncable LFOs. Thanks to the analog filter and stereo VCA, this hybrid synth delivers the warmth and dynamic control expected from high-end instruments. The M 16 Voice version doubles the polyphony of the standard M, making it ideal for complex layered performances and multitimbral setups.

The user interface is intuitive and accessible, with 43 dedicated knobs and a clear display. External control and connectivity are comprehensive: MIDI In/Out/Thru, USB MIDI, SD card slot, stereo main out, and four assignable outputs. Whether you're producing ambient textures, aggressive bass lines, or evolving pads, the Waldorf M 16 Voice is built to inspire.
