Years of meticulous development have culminated in Waldorf’s innovative flagship synthesizer: the Quantum. Building upon the proprietary wavetable technology developed decades ago, Waldorf has always sought to equip its instruments with a powerful yet flexible core. Waldorf’s digital oscillators—combined with the immense power and efficient simplicity of superb analog filters—helped ignite the digital revolution of the 1980s. The Quantum harnesses the raw power of hybrid digital-analog synthesis to deliver futuristic sounds previously achievable only with today’s highly programmable software synths. Waldorf houses this power in a sleek, user-friendly physical design tailored for the modern synthesist. With its large display, inviting control panel, and high-quality keyboard, the Quantum inspires your wildest creative impulses. Waldorf spared no expense with the Quantum, opting for a premium keybed: the Fatar TP8. Fatar is renowned among keyboardists for creating some of the finest keybeds on the planet; the TP8 in the Quantum is highly responsive, offers an incredible feel, and is rugged enough to withstand years of rigorous touring.
