+**How to setup some basic patches from scratch. The examples are designed for the Microwave II/XT, but should also work (with some minor changes) on the Microwave I.**
+This is a short excerpt from the book by Uwe G. Hoenig - "Microwave in der Praxis" \\

+=== Bass ===
+== Sweep-Bass ==
+First, all parameters are reset to reasonable start values with "Init Sound V1.1".\\
+The Oscillators Octave is switched to -1, because we want to play bass, don't we?\\
+Startwave should be sawtooth on both waves.
+A detune -7 / +7 gives a nice [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_(acoustics)|beat]].
+  * Oscillators
+    * Octave Parameter = -1 / -1
+    * Startwave = 63 / 63
+    * Detune = -7 / +7
+The filter cutoff frequency is first set to zero, and then will be controlled by the Envelope Amount at full range.\\
+A decay of approximately 65 and sustain equal 0 produces the desired sweep.
+  * Filter & Filter Envelope
+    * Filter 1 Cutoff = 0
+    * Filter 1 Cutoff Envelope Amount = +63
+    * Filter 1 Sustain = 0
+    * Filter 1 Decay = 65
+To make the sound a bit more interesting, the following values are entered:
+  * Quality
+    * Time Quantization = 5
+  * Mixer
+    * Wave 1 Level = 70
+    * Wave 2 Level = 70
+And finally, here comes the most important parameter:
+  * Filter
+    * Filter 1 Resonance = 80
+That's it, we programmed our first patch! Although it sounds a bit dump, it is perfectly suited as a basis for some more sophisticated ones.
+== Moog-Bass ==
+(Based on the Sweep-Bass patch above)
+  * Filter Envelope
+    * Filter 1 Attack = 0
+  * Amplitude Envelope
+    * Attack = 0
+  * Filter
+    * Filter 1 Decay = 16
+    * Filter 1 Sustain = 70
+    * Filter 1 Cutoff Envelope Amount = +47
+Optional:
+    * Octave Parameter for Osc1 / Osc2:  0 / -1
+    * Startwave 62 (square)
+== Dub-Bass ==
+  * Oscillators
+    * Octave Parameter -1 / -1
+  * Filter
+    * Filter 1 Cutoff Envelope Amount = +24
+  * Amplitude Envelope
+    * Release = 60
+  * Filter Envelope
+    * Release = 47
+    * Filter 1 Keytrack Amount = +50%
+    * Filter 1 Cutoff = 15
+  * Oscillators
+    * Detune 0 / 0
+  * Mixer
+    * Wave 1 Level = 100
+    * Wave 2 Level = 0
+Optional:
+  * Filter
+    * Filter 1 Resonance < 110
+    * Filter 1 Resonance = 127 -> Keytracking +100%
+    * Volume / Filter Release < 47
+  * Allocation Mode Monophonic
+== WaveScan-Bass ==
+  * General Settings
+    * Startwave = 0
+    * WaveTable = 46 (//Heavy Fuzz//)
+    * Filter Envelope [000,030,048,008]
+    * Wave 2 Link = YES
+  * Modifier Settings
+    * Mod 1 Source = Filter Envelope
+    * Mod 1 Destination = Wave 1 Position
+    * Amount = +40
+  * (optional)
+    * Try WaveTables
+      * 014
+      * 044
+      * 045
+      * 047
+=== Pads ===
+== Sweep Saw Pad ==
+Two sawtooth waves slightly cross tuned, filtered and amplified with a smooth envelope – simple, boring and effective.
+  * Waves
+    * Startwave = 63 / 63 (sawtooth)
+  * Oscillators
+    * Detune = -6 / +6
+  * Volume Envelope
+    * ADSR [050,060,060,040]
+  * Filter
+    * Type = 12dB Low Pass
+    * Cutoff = 60
+    * Resonance = 40
+    * Keytrack = +50%
+  * Filter Envelope
+    * Cutoff Env Amount = +10 -> Sweep
+    * ADSR [070,070,040,060]
+Optional
+    * Cutoff Env Amount = 0
+    * Env Velocity Amount = +30
