Nave is a wavetable synthesizer plugin from Waldorf that brings the acclaimed iOS instrument’s sound engine to your DAW, with a GUI optimized for keyboard and mouse. Its two advanced wavetable oscillators offer expanded editing, and an Überwave mode stacks up to eight oscillators for thick, complex tones. A speech synthesizer lets you morph wavetables in unique ways, while the multimode filter, three envelopes, two LFOs, and a 10-slot modulation matrix provide deep sound-shaping control. Effects include drive, chorus/flanger/phaser, reverb, modulation delay, three-band EQ, and compression. Performance features like Blades with musical scales and chord mode, polyphonic aftertouch, and up to three X/Y pads make it expressive. With 32-voice polyphony and a library of superb presets from top sound designers, Nave suits producers seeking evolving pads, vivid wavetable textures, cutting leads, and solid basses in electronic and cinematic music.
