For auction is my yellow edition Waldorf Micro Q analog modeling synth. This little monster is an absolute power house of composition and sound design possibilities, especially when you consider its physical size and price range. And given that it’s 25 note polyphonic and 16 part multi timbral, you can create entire complex tracks (including drums, which are mapped out) on just this one synth. Oh, and it has a 25 band Vocoder and powerful arpeggiator built in! Minus a coupel features, the micro Q is basically a Waldorf Q packed into a convenient 2 unit rack, with all the trademark amazing sounding Waldorf synthesis.
Although I cannot endorse any software company, I use the micro Q with QEditPro and it is an absolute dream! However, all the functions of the micro Q can be navigated from the front panel controllers which make it really easy to manipulate and program without software.
The only reason I’m selling my yellow micro Q is that I also bought a blue Q and have too many other synths, otherwise I would not hesitate for a second to keep it because nothing else sounds like a Walfdorf!
Power supply and Original Manual are included. Product support is still available from Waldorf and there are lots of free third party sounds available if you search online.
There are a couple small marks on the top of the unit from where the previous owner had it racked. Functionality is not affected and the front panel looks great. By bidding you acknowledge that you have read the item description.
