editEDIT the ACCESS programmer allows some Waldorf MICROWAVE parameters tweaks for real-time performances. Sadly the available parameters are limited and focused to just a few aspects of the Microwave, not taking advantage of the whole sonic power of the well-known module.

os OS IMPORTANT! access programmer works only with a Microwave using a least a 1.20 OS version (OS can be changed only using 2 programmed EPROMS ) I did tested and works fine also on 1.25 and 2.0 versions.

editALTERNATIVE EDITORS
The access programmer could be nice gimmick some times ago, but today there are many Midi softwares with ALL parameters control like, Mostrumwave, Soundquest and more.

REVIEW: "Sadly the programmer misses many interesing functions, but can be useful for some real-time performances. The ACCESS programmer is pretty rare and pricey on vintage market- for full edit get a software version: far more complete and cheaper."
