Waldorf MicroQ Phoenix Edition
via this Noisebug auction
"Manufacturer Description:
The best in a box. The Micro Q synthesizer delivers huge sound at a remarkably affordable price.
Powered by much the same sound generator as its big brother Q, Micro Q’s awesome audio performance comes as no surprise. Specifically, we’re talking about up to five oscillators and two multimode filters per voice, ultra fast envelopes, and LFOs so fast that you can even hear them, if you wish.
And the final 500 to feature the Phoenix Edition trim sport very special visuals. Cool today, they’re sure to be classics tomorrow.
The microQ's synthesis architecture and sound comes directly from the Waldorf Q Synthesizer and was packed into an nice 2u rack housing. Still the microQ is easy to program with its editing matrix (some users already may know a similar editing surface from the Waldorf Pulse Synthesizer). This allows you to edit nearly most of the sound engine parameters directly on the surface of this little beast without being in need of activating menus.
Not only the expensive sound of the Waldorf Q was implemented: also the powerful arpeggiator and the versatile Drum Map can be found in the Waldorf microQ, too.
