All Waves plugins feature the WaveSystem toolbar which takes care of most administrative functions you will encounter while working with your Waves software. The features of the WaveSystem toolbar are the same on practically all Waves plugins, so familiarity with its features will be helpful whichever plugin you are using. - Page 14 You will be prompted to give this preset a name.

Kramer Olympic chain was going to be the hardest. Waves discovered (along with the guidance of some of their Beta team) that they were missing a number of things, each one extremely complicated by itself, and in total representing a huge challenge. - Page 19 As they could only develop for one platform at a time, Waves chose to do their initial development for the Macintosh, at which time Bob took a back seat and John Haeny made it a full-time job by becoming a co-developer of this product.
- Page 20 The amount of bias current applied is critical to the frequency response and distortion characteristics of an analog recording. Waves modeled and have provided you with two bias settings. “Normal Bias” (this is the Ampex recommendation for bias adjustment, straight out of the original Operator’s Manual for the 351).
- Page 21 Flux Control on Kramer MPX is calibrated in nWb/m, here is a quick reference guide for comparison (Source Quantegy): -2dB = 150 nWb/m 0dB = 185 nWb/m (Ampex Standard Operating Level) +3dB = 250 nWb/m +5dB = 320 nWb/m +6dB = 370 nWb/m +9dB = 520 nWb/m Waves Kramer MPX User Guide...
- Page 22 Since 3M Scotch 207 was rated at between 185 nWb/m or 250 nWb/m (opinions vary about the ‘ideal’ level for Scotch 207, Waves have chosen the more conservative level of 185 nWb/m for the MPX default, although they modeled a wide range of flux levels to be able to accurately create the variable flux control)), you will find that this plug will be especially sensitive to settings above the recommended level of the tape sampled.
- Page 23 Delay Time control in the delay section. It is NOT affected by the running speed of the transport. If you need to ask why Waves included this bonus function, the answer is quite simple. because they could!
- Page 24 Even as digital recording has come of age, and with hindsight 20/20, what many considered to be a limitation of analogue tape recording, has in fact become desirable. Digital has been criticized by many as being clinical and cold sounding, while analogue technology has been touted as Waves Kramer MPX User Guide...
- Page 25 MPX is the result of almost two years of failures and triumphs and contains the heart and soul of many contributors. Waves’ sincerest hope is that you will enjoy MPX and that it will become an invaluable component in your sonic toolkit.
