"It can sound huge, small, thin, fat, warm, epic, broken or cold and you can imprint your personality onto the sound using the available parameters, or your own samples. For ground-up, majestic sound design, SFX for lm/TV, weird evolving soundscapes, straight-up analogue synth emulation, FM-type sounds, and eery FX/atmos sounds, the Quantum is unbeatable." - MusicRadar 

The Quantum looks to the future. There is a combination for analog filter circuits and contemporary Wavetable technology. It combines the most powerful building blocks from the legendary Waldorf synthesisers of a bygone age. There are also three additional sound creation methods. Waveform features typical geometric waveforms such as sawtooth, rectangle & triangle as well as user definable waveforms in each of its three oscillators.

Completely novel is Particle, this is based on granular sample synthesis and Resonator. Resonator allows for the creation of organic sounds through filter bank resonance synthesis. The beautiful central display supports the design of sound unobtrusively, and illustratively in a quality that was previously not available within a musical instrument. It focuses on the perfect synergy between musician and machine. Just when you thought all sounds have been heard, get ready to let your auditory senses be rejuvenated.

The Waldorf is the first significant hardware synth I have bought for years. I chose it because it has three oscillators, and five synth engines, with an arsenal of modulation options. In a nutshell it's a sound designer's VST made manifest in the body of a superbly engineered classic BIG five octave polysynth.

Lovely keyboard. Great sounds. Very broad, from simple analog to weird and atmospheric digital.
