Designed as a true "studio in a keyboard," the Waldorf Quantum is aimed at those who want to go beyond classic synthesis without giving up the pleasure of an analog signal at the filter output. Within the Waldorf universe, it embodies a premium approach to hybrid synthesis: digital precision, modern workflows, and musical character, all housed in a robust, performance-oriented machine.
The Quantum targets advanced to expert musicians, producers, and sound designers seeking a deep sonic palette and advanced modulation capabilities. It excels in ambient, techno, experimental electro, synthwave, sophisticated pop, and film scoring, both in the studio (texture design, complex layers, drones, impacts) and live thanks to macros, split/layer functionality, and a very direct ergonomics. Its keyboard expressiveness (velocity and polyphonic aftertouch depending on the version) also makes it an excellent choice for "instrumental" playing rather than purely programmatic use.
Ambitious sound architecture: 8 voices of polyphony (expandable depending on the version) and 3 stereo oscillators per voice utilizing multiple algorithms, including wavetable, granular sampling, and resonator, as well as classic waveforms. Timbre shaping relies on 2 analog low-pass filters per voice complemented by multi-mode digital filters, allowing for a range from warm, dense tones to highly detailed futuristic textures. Modulation is a strong point with 6 LFOs, 6 envelopes, a multi-step modulator "Komplex," and a 40-slot modulation matrix, ideal for animating every nuance of playing. On the performance side, it features a step sequencer with automation, a 7-mode arpeggiator, and multitimbral modes (split/layer) for stacking or distributing sounds. Effects are comprehensive (up to 5 effects per timbre plus a global compressor), and the internal memory facilitates working with presets, wavetables, and samples. Finally, the OS 3.3.0 update enhances integration and expressiveness: MIDI 2.0 compatibility, MPE polyphonic pitch bend, improved favorites, release velocity usable as a modulation source, and additional macros for even more personalized control.
