Thank you for actually PLAYING it. Really hate how people view the Quantum as a tool and completely forget that it's still a musical instrument . And a good one.
Not only is it a tool, it’s a multi-tool, jack of all and master of none. Maybe harsh, but there isn’t one thing it does that isn’t done better than something else dedicated to a given engine. It’s a very nice bit of kit, and of course in the right hands is as musical as you want, but for the money; I’d take a Super Gemini, no screen and all hands on.
i have shivers down my spine.. this is one hell of a synth. I wish i could afford half of it. This synth is going to be impossible to get in the next few years. Price gonna go up for sure
Just WOW. That sound is lovely, but of course it helps you can actually play (I can not so have to use sequencers and grid controllers to get at least something nice out of my synths).
You're right. This is how most AT key beds are manufactured. Stingy is the word. Everyone who is serious about making judicious use/programming of after touch agrees. What to do? I've been using an AT KB since 1991!! and I can say that one needs to compensate for the very small travel of these KBs such that extremes aren't reached too easily/quickly. It can be done, but requires a commitment. These days, many demos are pushing towards the overly bright, sizzled wide-opened filter. The Waldorf has enough parameters to accommodate this.
If you had to choose between the Moog One and the Waldorf MK2 what would be your pick. I plan on getting a MPC X SE to connect the keyboard to then then do all my editing in Fruity Loops. The Waldorf for me reminds me of a vst called ElectraX2. I understand the mapping and how get the sound I want. My only concern is that this is one of the best sounding keyboards on the market with rich mind blowing sound I can use to increase my style of production. I usually have 3 synths going at the same time per lead synth with delay reverb and 2 filters in automation. Same usually for the pads and plucks as well. Would the MK2 make the most sense to get or are their other keyboard you would recommend? I am looking for something with alot of warmth to it and clarity that I can cut away at to make a perfect track rather than always adding more to make a VST synth sound bigger. Thank you for your time!!
Honestly, Both of those synths are just so unique with how they sound that I think comparing them isn't a good decision. The moog one is a lot of synth but like I have always said, its not immediate. And my moog one had trouble with the timbrality. There was just so much going on. But I loved programming it and it was really fun. The waldorf although mostly digital, has its own sound. Waldorf is really great at having an identity in my opinion. The Waves, PPG, Xts, Qs, ETC ETC. There is a reason people dug them. And yes they did so much before plug ins were powerful. But they had a sound and that sound to me rips. And I think in the end is the reason people really enjoy them. I think Both synths offer different things that are very enjoyable. The reason I like hardware is I just enjoy the tactile aspect of it all. I mix records for a living so using soft synths can be hard for me at times. But I think they are amazing too. Falcon, OBE, PIgments, That shit is nuts. If I had to be honest thought. The warmest synths I have right now are my OBX8 and my Trigon 6. If we are basing it on analog gooooo. But the moog one and MK2 can do it also. But all four of those are different and do completely different things. I love that Im able to have all of them. They all give back to me in their own way. I'm not sure if this helped at all. But if I had to choose. I would probably go Waldorf Mk2. It does everything really well.
@JeremySHGriffith Would you put the MK2 over the Prophet X? My goal os to take samples and key them up on the board and use the digital and analog filters to give the sounds more characteristics.
YAMAHA MONTAGE M. I am very familiar with the organic mind-blowing sound. The onboard controls are very effective, BUT no-one ever demos these showing this capability. I've many keyboards, and as usual Yamaha never have proper demos. Plus reliability of these is long term!
@philmagnotta5553 I bought the montage for now will get the mk2 in a few months and will add in the mellotron for good use. all connected to mpc to make sample like sounds next export to fruity loops for mastering. it'll be a wrap. very excited and motivated to drop some heat will post when the time is right
@philmagnotta5553 Yes but I was more talking about the overall tone and timbre of both Analogs. For me the Gemini wins hands down now I've tried both. I already have the Iridium Keyboard so sampling is taken care of, however, I also have Falcon vst and it's sampling and pretty much everything else leaves the sampling in particular of the iridium way way behind. As Analog synths go, the Super Gemini is an absolute beast. I thought my Polybrute was good, but the Gemini....Oooffff...another level.
Wow, you need to put more clips like this, don't keep your playing skills to yourself only🙂 There are too many weird Quantum clips where guys are desperately trying to make it sound as oddball as possible. Maybe their playing skills are modest and they are trying to compensate by tweaking every possible knob to the extreme
ofcourse its not getting the love it should , its a fucking waldorf ,no matter how much time you sink into it , you wont master it fully and that scares a lot of people
What did you end up with , I drove 6 hours to go to Sweetwater to Play the Quantum and 3rd Wave side by side but they only had the Wave on displayed I was bummed. The Wave sounds great , of course then I played the OBx8 I loved that too! I have a Moog one. What did you think of the over all sound having played both.
Correct! This type of sound is a standard patch that can be found on many synths. I have a MONTAGE, and it is very capable, but these type of demos are common place. The same for MONTAGE! Too many piano/electric piano sounds
Stumbled on this and wow! Never heard the Quantum sound this rich, beautiful playing and programming.
Buy the damn synth and make your amazing patches to convince me to buy it already 😂
This shows off the polyphonic aftertouch realllly nicely. Love the patch.
Thank you for actually PLAYING it.

this is amazing
Man, that thing sounds AMAZING. The textures and tones are amaaaaazing 🎶🎶🎶
Excellente démonstration, belles sonorités et belle composition. Bravo 🙂
Thanks for sharing, great playing. What a sound! This things alive….so much character.
Beautiful patch and playing.
More Quantum Mk2 please!!! This is awesome!
Great vibes! Would love to hear more Mk2. Looks like a beast. Maybe one day... 😉💸
Amazing sounds. This is the Holy Grail! I own the Waldorf Quantum mk1. One day I will buy the mk2 with Poly Aftertouch.
After touch is super useful. Just learning how to use it. Very good to have it control filter cutoff or volume
Beautiful playing and sound from the QMK2.
i have shivers down my spine.. this is one hell of a synth. I wish i could afford half of it. This synth is going to be impossible to get in the next few years. Price gonna go up for sure
Besser geht es nicht! 😊
Nice playing!!!
This is very good
Liked and subscribed brotha 💪💪 stoked to see the UA-cam channel!! 🙌🙌🎹🎹🎹
I also love it and my new Moog One. :)
Just WOW. That sound is lovely, but of course it helps you can actually play (I can not so have to use sequencers and grid controllers to get at least something nice out of my synths).
LUSHHHHHH ❤
Oh yes! ❤
Killer!
Polyphonic aftertouch sounds like it's on-off, with little "travel" in between..

Excellent! 👍👍
was that just a one note arp going over top?
thank you. Is it a preset sound, which one?
Polaris?
Jack from Anderton's used this. Sounds the same.
@@tristantheuerkorn5124 you have the good feeling with it!
I might actually get one?
I love it
Its nice, but is it as nice or as interesting as a Super Gemini???
I think they are around the same price.
They are not even close. The sampling capabilities are far in advance of the SG and other factors classify the Waldorf as a different category
@philmagnotta5553 Yes but I was more talking about the overall tone and timbre of both Analogs. For me the Gemini wins hands down now I've tried both.

Want to trade it for my MK 1 Microwave XT? 😁
I love the XT
@@JeremySHGriffith Deal? 🤣
This synthsizer is a Roland jupiter 8...of this era...

So True!!
I been really on the Quantum MK2 over the 3rd Wave train and im glad you made a nice case for the Quantum🫡
I gotta say it does almost everything perfect.
@@JeremySHGriffith Facts!!!

OMG, such an advanced synthesizer to demonstrate such a mediocre and simple patch.
lol sweet
