Touché. Maar wat is hybride?
Digitale OSC's (Wavetable, granular, etc.) + analoge filters

Hoeveel oscillatoren? Wat voor golfvormen? PWM?
- 24
- Wavetables, iets met granular, etc. zie de post hieronder
- Mogelijks, al dan niet via PWM wavetables

Acht voices: dat kunnen 4 voices per noot (multitimbraal) zijn en dan een polyfonie van 4 of een polyfonie van 8 met 1 voice per noot (zie deze uitleg van voices en synths). Of kun je dat misschien zelf instellen op de Quantum? Zijn voor jou wellicht domme vragen, maar mij is het gewoon echt niet duidelijk. Ik zie dat nl. niet in het filmpje noch in de replies in dit topic.
1 voice = 1 noot

Probeer Nave eens, die komt het meeste in de buurt van deze Quantum. ;)
 
Vond dit net op Matrixsynth.com....nieuwe details over de Quantum:

New Details and Specifications for the Upcoming Waldorf Quantum


"Waldorf is proud to announce a new chapter in their tradition of designing high-end ground breaking synthesisers. Starting with Waldorf’s famous wavetable technology developed decades ago, it was always a challenge to give our instruments a powerful flexible beating heart. Our digital oscillators coupled to the enormous power and efficient simplicity of our analog filters started the digital revolution back in the 80’s.

Quantum combines the raw power of a classic digital & analog hybrid synthesiser, with futuristic sounds that are only possible with today’s software synthesisers.

Its 3 Oscillators offer four synthesis algorithms each:

Waldorf-style Wavetables with the latest additions from Nave, including speech synthesis and wavetable generation from audio

Classic Synthesizer Waveforms with multiple waves for an ultra fat sounds right out of the oscillators

Granular Sampler with multi sampling plus traditional sampling mode

Resonator for virtual sound sculpting

The flexibility emanating from Quantum’s powerful oscillators and their interaction with one another is simply breath-taking. Never before has it ever been possible to create such a wide sonic bandwidth with one synthesizer. Stretching from classic analog, with precise sample playback, through to harsh or animated digital sounds, escalating all the way up to sound and sequence clusters, that can only be achieved with a modular synthesiser system.

Quantum’s beautiful ergonomic and intuitive user panel supports an artist’s workflow with a previously unknown elegance. The carefully crafted array of aluminium knobs and encoders surround an ultra hi-resolution multi touch display. Waldorf engineers spent many long hours perfecting the interaction between the display and the physical control elements. The stunning display is a highly flexible extension of the tactile experience, and is light-years ahead of any synthesiser currently on the market today.

To help understand functional correlations between one knob and another, each control knob is individually illuminated by a multi colour LED. This makes it instantly obvious when viewing complex settings and modulation settings, where related parameters can be adjusted quickly and efficiently. With the help once again of the gorgeous central display, precise settings can be handled with ease, much the same as the experience when using your cutting edge computer tablet.

When the Waldorf engineers decided to develop Quantum, little did they realise it would take several years of painstaking work. There were areas of Quantum that our years of experience with sound generation were bought to the fore. But Quantum is so powerful it took our team into uncharted territory, involving both sound and the way it was felt the musician would interact with it.

Quantum was designed and developed by our dedicated team in Germany. All essential components have been designed, manufactured and assembled here in Germany. This has allowed us to manufacture Quantum with an unparalleled build quality. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank a world class array of sound designers that have contributed to a multi-facetted factory sound set.

En je kunt de filter outputs bij sommige synths afzonderlijk pannen (zoals in de Voyager bijvoorbeeld).
 
Mooi zeg... maar wat zou het nut zijn van 2 lowpass filters per voice? Zouden de oscs stereo zijn?

Je kan ze paralel zetten. Met twee resonantie pieken kun je leuke vowel achtige geluiden maken. Maar het was inderdaad leuker geweest als eentje multimode was.
 
Ik wil hem wel,met al dat analoog geweld hier is digitaal ook wel welkom.

of gewoon weg bovenop je sound (met open filter) toch steeds een dikke bass eronder hebben.
(ik heb een Q+ gehad en twee filters was erg gaaf)

Het enige minpunt zal weer zijn dat omwille het na het filter weer naar digitaal omgezet wordt je steeds (constant) moet prutsen aan de vca level (bij het maken van sounds/sound maakt dan poly speelt) anders kraakt de dac als je te veel reso boost op de filters
 
Thomann en Andertons.co.uk hebben 'm inmiddels te koop staan. Voor 4.000 Euro heb je 'm op 31 januari 2018.


Kan nog niet, hij is nog niet helemaal klaar. Momenteel is ie nog in beta stage. Men zegt dat ie over ongeveer 10 weken, misschien meer, misschien minder klaar zou moeten zijn. Maar ja, dat blijft ook maar afwachten. Andertons heeft inmiddels de datum al bijgesteld naar eind Feb.
 
Hij zegt in het filmple hierboven dat hij wel helemaal klaar is..

gaaf,gaaf,gaaf die specs,overtreft elke moderne wavetable synth

Het is idd wachten op goede demo's want met die zee aan effects er altijd op is het moelijk
