Description

The power of the Q synthesizer is now available in an affordable 2-unit rack module. Sound quality is not compromised, it sounds just as great as the more expensive Q! The main limitation is that there are only 6 knobs; however these knobs provide access to dozens of parameters at the push of a button. The Q's powerful arpeggiator is also on-board. There is no sequencer, but a rack module is usually destined for use with an external sequencer or controller anyway. There are two independent filters with low-pass, band-pass, high-pass, notch and comb filters. The filters are resonant and can self-oscillate too! There's also a Modulation Matrix where you can route your signal through flexible and complex processes to really shape your sounds. There's also a stereo vocoder and ring modulator on-board. A Voice Expansion board can boost polyphony in the Micro Q up to 75 voices!

The Micro Q is not an analog synth, but it can emulate them very well. It is great for punchy analog bass, 303 lines, synth leads, trance pads, swirling effects, analog drums, percussion, beats, and lots more! It's worth a listen! Wonderful preset sounds, a challenge to program...bottom line is affordable, incredible sounds!

The Micro Q Keyboard is identical to the Micro Q, but packaged in a handy and portable 37 note keyboard. It also adds pedal inputs, pitch/mod wheels, and some front panel numeric buttons.

i got used waldorf micro q and i'm totally disappointed

Strange thing going on...my MicroQ keyboard outputs low rumbling noise from the main outs - even when the power is turned off. The only way to stop is to pull the power plug out. Is this the power supply failing or something else? I remember reading something about the noisy outputs, but this seems...

...to gig with it as soon as I'm back on the road instead of taking out my Juno, or the microQ Keyboard i've been taking lately. It's a great size for gigging. Weight-wise, it's not dissimilar to the mQK or Blofeld. It's not plastic and lightweight (a la Bass Station/Microkorg style) but neither is it...

That's what I've been stressing out about! I'm going to have to get rid of that big stand-alone closet thing and put my JP8000 and Clavia Nord Lead there, then put the Quantum (finally, the last synth that I'll need?*) where those currently are... at least that's the plan. * I still want to get a...
