Overview

Digital-analog polyphonic synth with 61 keys and 16 voices.

The Quantum MK2 synthesizer keyboard from Waldorf adds 61-key polyphonic aftertouch from Fatar, increased sampling storage and improved mechanical design and display. With increased possibilities for musical expression, the Quantum synthesis engine can be more deeply modulated and texturally explored. The polyphonic aftertouch is highly customizable, while the high-resolution graphical display supports visual feedback and control for the customization process. In addition to its internal poly aftertouch keybed, the Quantum MK2 can be controlled by any MPE capable controller via direct connection to Quantum’s USB host port. 

16 Voices of Polyphony

Based on an 8-voice analogue dual-filter architecture, the Quantum MKII delivers 16 voices of polyphony in any combination of using digital dual multi-mode filters with the 8 analogue ones. Moreover, the combination of analogue with digital filter opens new sonic possibilities of what Waldorf Music stands for since its beginning: Hybrid digital and analogue synthesis. A new set of allocation modes gives the musician an easy control.

59GB Sampling Storage

Another cornerstone of Quantum MK2 is its increased internal sampling storage from a few GB to 59 GB. The Quantum has quickly become the instrument of choice for modern advanced sampling capabilities for sound enthusiasts and cinematic composers from Berlin to Los Angeles. From firmware 1.0 to 3.0 Waldorf Music has listened to the requests and needs of musicians to extend it polyphonic granular sampling engine as well its traditional multi-sample engine.

Design and Display

The updated mechanical design and a classy naval blue presents the musician an instrument of beauty and inspiration. The improved mounting of the high-resolution touch display provides wider viewing angles and an intuitive way of controlling the more advanced features of the Quantum synthesis engine.
