- Build the Waldorf microQ or Microwave II emulator for use in a project
- Load Roland SC-88/SC-55mkII as a plugin to play back legacy MIDI arrangements

## Why it’s here

- 1 star so far today, about 2 expected by the end of the day.

## Star trust

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
