Waldorf - Quantum mk2
WALDORF QUANTUM MK2
With special nods to legendary Waldorf synths of the past plus a highly engineered interface and a whole host of features never before seen on hardware synths, Waldorf Quantum MK2 represents the culmination of decades of development and is truly the flagship synth of the future.
Quantum combines the raw power of classic digital/analog hybrid synthesizers with futuristic sounds that are only possible with today's intensely programmable softsynths together in a sleek and accessible user interface designed with the modern synthesist in mind. With a huge, attractive screen, inviting control panel and top-notch keybed with polyphonic aftertouch, Quantum MK2 is an instant legend in all possible ways.
