Members Birdienumnum Posted November 25, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 25, 2007 http://www.waldorfmusic.de/en/products/q_phoenix "The Waldorf Q Series remains the standard for virtual modeled analog synthesizers. Boasting no less than 58 endless rotaries for vital synthesis parameters, this front panel lends the term "generously appointed" new meaning. Q Series synths leverage a remarkably flexible voicing section with up to five oscillators and two multimode filters per voice to deliver that peerless Waldorf sound. The Q Plus even offers 16 real analog filters. Sumo-sized strings, ethereal pads, blistering lead sounds, bone-rattling bottom end, bizarre experimental soundscapes, coruscating arpeggio clusters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Birdienumnum Posted November 25, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 25, 2007 So the salient differences seem to be "16 analog filters with resonance and analog distortion" for the Q+ ($3299) only, and 100 voices as opposed to 32 with the Q ($2299). I definitely think it's worth it to get the Q+. Now how to get $3000? Hmmm . . . Goodnight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My plan is to wait until bonus time (end of January) and see what kind of progress we have on the Stromberg. It it looks like it's way in the future, I'm going to try to find me one of these - I figure that I can sell my yellow Q and maybe some other stuff, which will bring down the price a little...damn. I've always wanted one of these. On the one hand, the price is higher than the Andromeda, and the Andromeda has even more in the way of modulations, as well as having analog oscillators. But, damn - I actually prefer the sound, workflow, and attitude of the Waldorf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a tough one but, at the end of the day the andy is just a very very good, highly modulatable real analog synth and many other synths therefore can sound similar. Nothing sounds like a Waldorf Q+ on heat however..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stikygum Posted November 25, 2007 Members Share Posted November 25, 2007 I like the burgandy one. Black smack. Every synth company thinks black or grey/silver first. Boring. Go back to your old tricks Waldorf. You'll stand out over the rest again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mintbeetle Posted November 26, 2007 Members Share Posted November 26, 2007 are they called Q's because the filter self-resonates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MuzikB Posted November 26, 2007 Members Share Posted November 26, 2007 are they called Q's because the filter self-resonates? No. It's because they've got this whole James Bond thing going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pighood Posted November 26, 2007 Members Share Posted November 26, 2007 are they called Q's because the filter self-resonates? In general, digital synths with self-oscillating resonant filters tend to be speaker-blowers...worst offender being the K5000s. The Q's resonance is harsh as well...I'd imagine this harshness is abated in the Q+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have side to side comparison demos on the above link - first digital Q, then analog Q+, playing the same thing. Quite illuminating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members girevik Posted November 27, 2007 Members Share Posted November 27, 2007 Looks like a Virus C V. Except the Q+ has real analog filters, not virtual analog filters. According to what has been posted anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The analog filters are a bonus, but I'd still love their stuff without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yay for Switzerland then. I was in a little corner synth shop where they've got, among lots of software and mixing stuff, a TI Polar, Little Phatty, Lead 2X, some of the little Korg keyboards, and a shiny Q+. They've had it for almost a month apparantly. Just a data point. B> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
