The synth will ship well wrapped and packed and insured.

This synth was purchased from the original owner back in the mid-2000's. It was at an early 1.0x or 1.1x firmware version (it was most likely at the same firmware rev as the unit reviewed at Sound On Sound's website at /reviews/waldorf-q and probably why it was sold), and it really came alive after the firmware was updated to the latest version: 3.02.

The synth has never been out of my home, smoke free environment, and looks it. There are the very minimal amount of blemishes, and I've tried highlighting any of those in the pictures. The keyboard/keybed is in very good, if not mint condition.

The knobs have all been replaced; they had succumbed to time and were beginning their infamous deterioration. The originals that were replaced will be included, if the didn't totally disintegrate when I replaced them.

The encoders are all solid, none are loose, I've exercised them all, and none seemed to skip, not that I could see.

The tiny LCD backlit interface screen is bright and clear, as seen in the pictures.

The rear panel connectors are all all solid and working (MIDI I/O, audio I/O, pedal I/O) and the Digital Out coax, when connected to the S/PDIF in is a digital stereo in that mirrors the analog stereo out. That was used and worked; very nice.

Includes power cord and original manual.

The Waldorf Q has a sound all of its own. Powerful, cuts, ballsy and yet for it's age still relevant.

Sold as-is.

Shipping within continental US only.

Feel free to contact me with any questions, or for more pictures.

If you're looking at this, you most likely already know the specs this synth has.

From Vintage Synth -- quote:

"With 16 voices and 16 multitimbral parts, the Q is well adapted for reliable live use. Waldorf's excellent analog sound emulation is complemented by sophisticated yet familiar analog-type controls and parameters. There are 3 oscillators per voice, 3 LFOs with ramp, sine, square, etc. and 2 12/24dB Filters (Low pass, band pass, hi pass, notch, comb, ring mod and more). A powerful arpeggiator and sequencer are also on-board for creating complex accompaniment or arpeggios. There are 58 knobs to aid you in tweaking away at creating amazing sounds! All knobs and edit parameters are MIDI controllable. The Waldorf Q is topped off with 8 effects processors (2 per sound that include Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Overdrive, AM, Delay, Reverb, etc.), 2 analog audio inputs, 6 outputs and 1 S/PDIF output (44.1kHz / 48kHz switchable) and vocoding capability. The Q is a professional-grade virtual analog synth that combines the raw power of analog synthesis with modern technology, stability and creativity."
