The Waldorf Q+ is a 16 part multi timbral virtual analog synthesizer with up to 100 voices, 16 discrete analog resonating 24 or 12 db per octave 4-pole cascade lowpass filter circuitry modules with self oscillation and analog distortion.
There are up to 100 voices which offer 3 LFOs, 3 oscillators with all classic shapes plus wavetables, 2 filters with a sophisticated routing method and all filter types that you expect from a Waldorf synthesizer.
Furthermore, the Q+ offers unique Comb filter types in two flavours. This enables the Q+ not only to create polyphonic Chorus or Flanger effects but previously unheard athmos or pluck sounds with great life. To top things off, the Waldorf Q+ has a very powerful arpeggiator and an even more powerful step sequencer. With 58 endless rotaries, the Waldorf Q+ easily doubles the number of controls of other synths.
