Wave Emulation 0.1.2

Wave Emulation 0.1.2 for macOS.

This signed and notarized installer includes the universal Apple Silicon / Intel Wave Emulation.app in /Applications, along with AU, VST3, and AAX plugins. The standalone UI has been opened and visually verified without the logo.

After installation, save and quit your old standalone session, then open /Applications/Wave Emulation.app. Old development copies named Wave Emulation Sample.app remain separate files. The installer also rejects stale bundle versions when packaging and installs the standalone app into Applications even when development copies exist elsewhere.

Required system files and disks

The download does not include the Waldorf Wave system ROM or voice firmware. Obtain your own OS 1.700 system floppy files (w2sys.bin and wdv.sys), put both files in one folder, then choose System → Load System Firmware Folder....

To load original sounds and performances, supply your own Wave sound/setup floppies or raw disk images and choose System → Mount Disk Image.... A Wave .set file can be converted using Create Disk Image from Wave Setup.... The included PPG wavetable samples are sound data, not system firmware.

Read the setup instructions before installing. Without system firmware, the app provides behavioural synthesis fallback rather than running the original operating system. Complete original floppy boot emulation and bit-perfect hardware accuracy are not claimed.
