Waldorf Protein

With the Protein, Waldorf revives the magic of wavetable synthesis in a modern, compact, affordable, and surprisingly powerful instrument. Inspiring and vibrant, it offers immediate access to the unique sonic universe for which the brand is renowned.

Waldorf DNA, reinvented

Based on the legendary oscillators of the Microwave 1 and enhanced with modern Iridium Series technologies, Protein combines vintage charm with cutting-edge innovation. It is now the simplest and most accessible way to explore the richness of Waldorf wavetables.

Intuitive operation

Starting with simple sound blocks, it becomes possible to create complex textures in seconds. The numerous physical controls encourage experimentation and happy accidents, while a much deeper sonic universe lies hidden behind the unit's sleek front panel.

The Protein offers 8 voices, spread across up to 4 layers, ideal for rich and multidimensional sound arrangements, creative round-robin modes, or classic multitimbral configurations via different MIDI channels.

Instant Creativity

Thanks to the "Load Layer" function, creating new soundscapes is child's play: simply combine existing layers from the extensive preset library to obtain unique results in moments.

A Powerhouse

Despite its compact size, the Protein includes over 150 factory presets with diverse characteristics and can accommodate up to 250 personal creations. The 4-layer system allows for free mixing of sounds, paving the way for intuitive, direct, and deeply inspiring sound design.
