Waldorf's flagship synthesizer, the culmination of decades of development.
Quantum combines the raw power of a classic digital and analog hybrid synthesizers with futuristic sounds that are only possible with today’s intensely programmable soft synths, together in a sleek and accessible user interface designed with the modern synthesist in mind. With a huge, attractive screen, inviting control panel, and top-notch keybed, Quantum is an instant legend in all possible ways.
Digital-Analog Hybrid Architecture
Waldorf’s famed Wavetable oscillator technology forms the basis for the Quantum, descending from legendary synthesizers like the Waldorf Wave. However, Quantum goes beyond what was previously possible with more oscillators, more algorithms, and more ways to modulate them. Combine that with Waldorf’s incredible analog filters, and a hybrid synth like no other is born.
61-Key Fatar TP8 Keybed
With Quantum, only the best components would suffice. That’s why the keybed of choice for Waldorf’s Quantum is the Fatar TP8 synth-weighted keybed. Fatar is known by keyboardists the world over for producing some of the highest quality, nicest feeling, and most durable keybeds on any synthesizer. The TP8 keybed on the Quantum is no exception.
8 Voices, Plus Multitimbrality
Quantum’s eight voices, each with three oscillators and two filters, adds up to a whopping 24 voices and 16 analog filters. Those voices can also be split or layered multitimbrally for even more sound versatility. Quantum has a second pair of audio outputs specifically for use in multitimbral mode. And with Quantum’s wealth of algorithmic oscillator power under the hood, that means sonic possibilities like no synthesizer ever before.
3 Stereo Digital Oscillators Per Voice
Wavetable: Waldorf style with latest additions from Nave including speech synthesis, wavetable generation from audio and new features Waveform: Waveform with up to 8 simultaneous waves per Oscillator in detuned or chordal mode with hard-sync, warp, & PWM Particle: Granular sampler with multi-sampling and traditional sampling mode
Advanced Wavetable Creation
No Waldorf synth would be complete without the Wavetable oscillator technology that Waldorf has become known the world over for. Quantum follows that iconic heritage with not only classic wavetables, but the ability to generate custom wavetables using audio that can either be routed into Quantum’s audio input, or loaded from internal or removable sample memory.
Two Analog Low-Pass Filters Per Voice
Waldorf’s filters are second to none. With both a stand-alone desktop analog filter in the form of the 2-pole desktop module, and a uniquely powerful Eurorack filter module, Quantum’s two analog resonant lowpass filters per voice come from a highly respected progeny, adding up to a whopping 16 total filters, afford users with sonic possibilities completely unheard of when combined with Quantum’s massive modulation routing section, wealth of LFOs, and envelopes.
Multi-Touch Display
Spectrum Analyzer onscreen allows users to precisely visualize their sound, and an on-screen Oscilloscope is available at various processing stages.
Superior key controls, Arpeggiator, and Step Sequencer
Quantum provides users with tools to best utilize and expand upon the playability of its keybed, such as an Arpeggiator, on-screen step sequencer, as well as chord play mode with hold and latch.
5 Master Effects
When in multitimbral split or layer mode, both timbres can have separate effects chains applied to them, so that Quantum can provide the maximum breadth of sound design options.
Internal Memory and Expandable SD Slot
Quantum not only comes with four gigabytes of internal flash memory, it also has an SD card slot, which can be used to incorporate an SD card to load and save user wavetables and samples.
Extensive Suite of I/O
With multiple stereo outputs for multiple timbres, as well as headphones, and stereo audio input for recording/creating user wavetables, Quantum offers every possible I/O that users could possibly need to utilize all of its powerful features. Quantum also contains both a USB host and device port, so that it can host external USB MIDI devices and communicate MIDI over USB to a mac or PC.
