[demo] My Own Presets (Waldorf Quantum)

[@Thyrnheimr]

Ich kann von Quantum sehen, was es gibt, und bin jedes Mal total begeistert. Der für mich mit Abstand beste Synthesizer, den ich gesehen resp. gehört habe. Auch diese Demo lässt keine Zweifel aufkommen, dass ich dieses Gerät haben muss (ich las eben den Artikel zu Dave Smith's neuem Prophet X im KEY's, was mich nicht von meiner Entscheidung abgebracht hat). Feine Demo!

[@RayyMusik]

Beowulf Wahnfried Weise Entscheidung! Ich habe mich leider für den Prophet X entschieden, weil Waldorf 1 1/2 Jahre nur mistige Demos gepostet hat. Ich bereue es zutiefst. Der Prophet X ist völlig unausgereift, voller Bugs, hat ein antiquiertes User Interface; viele Samples klingen dumpf und muffig, und der ‚User Support‘ ist eine Frechheit.

Great stuff!!! Some of the best Quantum patches I’ve heard.

[@marcbrasse747]

Well done! Excellent sounds and the first video that gives a good impression of how far one could get when programming ones own sounds. I wish it wasn´t so darn expensive!

[@superprim12]

YOU MEAN DAMN!!!! LOL

[@marcbrasse747]

@@superprim12 I typed it wrong to add a lighter touch but you got the point anyway. :-)

[@strangersun7721]

Beautiful sounds. I would love to play one of these.

[@massimocesareAnnaloro]

Sei stato bravissimo! Grazie! Ho il WQ da due giorni e concordo: i preset non sono assolutamente all'altezza. Sto cominciando a muovermi e queste tue indicazioni sono preziosissime! Grazie.

[@trevor4835]

Now not only do I want a Kyra but you’ve got me craving the Quantum too.

[@davidsteffens3952]

1520 hard wavetable when you turn on the reverb is amazing

[@CO5MA]

I finally received mine! It’s amazing ❤️ Great demo, i love your sound at 18:45

[@samuelc.reyesjr9684]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Just curious, with your expertise with the Blofeld, could most of these sounds be produced using the Blofeld? As much as I would love to have a Quantum, somehow I keep thinking that the Blofeld is not that far off from what the Quantum can typically produce.

[@SynthesizerVideo]

Thanks :) The Blofeld can sound better than most people think. But the Quantum has other possibilities (like granular synthesis, sequencer, other effects...) and has a better sound quality. The bass is clearer, the transients are snapier, you can hear more details. All in all, the two machines are too different. But everyone has to make an own decision if the plus is worth $3800.

[@MarshalArnold]

Great demo! Thanks 😁

[@gessicastill2636]

ok, so u take sample sounds from the "field" & create ur own personal presets- very nicely done

[@station2station544]

"The Most Creamy Thing" 5:07 sounds like an Xpander - and when you detune it at the end it's what it feels like when the ecstasy kicks in. Not that I condone the use of recreational drugs. Every sound here is excellent and you should be writing preset banks for Waldorf Music. I Initially thought that the UI needed some help, but upon second thought, it's very retro basic. And heck, how bad was the UI on the PPG Waveterm ;). Due to this synth having firmware updates, do you expect Waldorf to implement FM?

[@dinsfire8489]

I heard they already added FM!

[@EverettDudgeon138]

Can you go through the samples that are on board the Quantum please?

[@SynthesizerVideo]

The samples in my Quantum are actually not that amazing: A lot of noise, bell and chime sounds, some drones and effects. I think, every owner of a Quantum has to load own samples into this machine (via SD card) to fulfill the individual wishes.

[@davidknight754]

STS-51-L reminded me of Ron's Piece.

[@dirkkeersmaekers4343]

Nice work.👉

[@fahadahmadkeyboardist792]

Hello, how many preset sounds in waldorf quantum

[@expeditiondechouette]

On 11.30 and 20.54 I see a kind of xy controller. You did n’t touch it. Can you explain what you can do with it? Ein Klavier is already in or did you put it in? What an amazing machine! Thanks.

[@SynthesizerVideo]

The XY screen can be used for modulation. You can route X and Y to any parameter with the modulation matrix and then play it with your fingers (i.e. LFO1 speed is X and LFO2 speed is Y and so on...). The piano samples were already in the Quantum but they were not used in a patch/sound. So the samples came from Waldorf and I did the configuration for key and velocity ranges in the sound.

[@expeditiondechouette]

Synthesizer Video Service Thanks!

[@expeditiondechouette]

So, all the samples you used are the intern ones from the Qu? Please make some more demos.

[@gyakuto7775]

Might your lovely patches be available...for a fee of course?

[@SynthesizerVideo]

Yes: www.frequture.net/products/quantum-iridium-patches/

[@gyakuto7775]

@@SynthesizerVideo That wonderful except I can't purchase the patches because there is no UK/Britain/England in your address drop-down menu and so rejects my postcode. Can you add UK please? I have sent you an email about this too. Thank you.

[@SynthesizerVideo]

Yes, due to legal reasons our store is limited to the European Union. Our membership is the alternative: frequture.net/youtube

[@MeAlexSenna]

WALDORF NEEDS TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS ASAP: •The screen touch response is pretty BAD, first and foremost •Fix Multisampling workflow •Latch to external Keyboards •Visual feedback on the Wavetable scroll •Step Sequencer increase (32 steps is too short for the SEQ) •Undo feature (at least one step)

[@OlegPankoff]

I exchanged my erroneous E-mu EIII (kb) for this one two years ago, and so far I absolutely don't regret it. Although I am supposed to, but no. :-)

[@SynthesizerVideo]

From E-Mu EIII to the Waldorf Quantum - that's a huge jump.

[@staysikth]

Did you record the sound on the camera only?

[@SynthesizerVideo]

No, direct to DAW. Cam sound is off.

[@staysikth]

@@SynthesizerVideo oh ok dunno why sounds like that to me. thank you.

[@briansherling5515]

The quantum is so ahead of the others. It’s expensive and it’s expensive for a reason

yo this rules
