About this listing
Musicians, producers, and sound designers looking for a powerful hybrid synthesizer should check out the Waldorf Quantum MKII, the company's flagship polyphonic analog/digital hybrid synthesizer. It combines the raw power of classic digital and analog synthesizers with futuristic sounds only possible with today’s intensely programmable soft-synths, in a sleek and accessible user interface with a multitouch display featuring an on-screen spectrum analyzer and oscilloscope for deep, visualized editing.
The MKII offers new features including a new FATAR TP/8SK keyboard with 61 semiweighted keys, polyphonic aftertouch, and a new Kernel synthesis algorithm with a wide range of possibilities from classic 6-operator FM to innovative audio rate wavetable modulation. The sample storage memory has also been expanded to 59GB.
The instrument offers 8 voices with analog filter, up to 16 voices with digital filters. Each voice utilizes three digital oscillators and two analog filters. Voices can be split or layered multitimbrally between two parts, while the two sets of stereo outputs (main and aux) were designed specifically for use in multitimbral mode. Additionally, there are five master effect slots for each timbre, providing the full breadth of sound design options. Each oscillator is capable of five synthesis algorithms including Wavetable, Waveform, Particle, Resonator, and Kernel. The instrument can generate custom wavetables using audio routed into the Quantum’s audio input or loaded from internal/removable sample memory.
The Quantum MKII has a massive modulation section with six LFOs, six multistage loopable envelopes, an onscreen step sequencer, an arpeggiator, and a chord play mode with hold and latch. Additional features include an SD-card slot for importing/exporting samples and sounds, USB-B computer connector, and USB-A controller connector for expansion and control. The Quantum has an integrated power supply unit and includes a standard IEC power cord.
