This synth goes to 11 - such a range of extremes. Love it

Johnny's great, and big thumbs up for the ESQ1!!

I have the MKS-50, MKS-70 and D50 with the PG-300, PG800 and PG1000 programmers now 😌

RIP Gert! Thanks for the video

All this, LIVE, out of just one small box. - incredibile !

I’ve been thinking of getting one of these for awhile now and this video is not helping my wallet lol great video as always 🔥🎹

The digital engine on the JDXA is nice. But that’s not why I bought it. I know it only has four analog voices, but I get stuff out of this synth that I don’t hear in other synthesizes. The envelopes are incredibly fast. They really get the filters whipping and snapping. The JD-XA is so terribly underrated. I paired it with the system eight and never looked back. I also have a summit and an iridium keyboard. I still reach for the JD analog engine often. I see the used prices are starting to get higher. It shouldn’t be dismissed. Yes there’s menu diving if you want to get that involved, But for the most part it’s a hands on beast. I’ve gotten sounds outta this engine that usually require modular.

More is not always better. For me this is one of the worst demos out there of the pe. I think it makes sense that it has 4 voices.

A great video! Having only seen pictures of the A6, I had never heard it by itself. This was SO far ahead of its time. I see a lot of its capabilities in the Arturia Polybrute. The 'Brute far outshines the A6 in some aspects, but then, the A6 is far more capable in others. It's a good thing I don't have the room, or I'd go do something dumb and pay several $k for one.

I have my CS30 modified with individual cv and gate jacks, paired up with a cv.ocd which makes the CS30 a duophonic midi synth. Absolutely killer. This synth should have always been duophonic.

Dude out here makes the Minecraft music… I like it

There's a rumour that Cherry Audio are about to release an emulation of this beast. If so, good choice - a UI that allows easy sound design will be a massive help. What a beautiful sounding synth!

Wow, my old friend. The first synth I ever owned in the 1970’s that I kept till the early 1980’s. Purchaed on 48th street at Sam Ash. They only had a floor model so they set me a few blocks over to the studio owned by Mr. Walter Sear who welcomed me in while he pulled a new one in a box, out of a huge hidden closet while I drooled over his Moog IIc. It was cheaper than the Mini Moog with all those cool patch points. I was the ‘first kid on the block’ with a synth. Many wonderful memories jamming with friends down my basement and then out on the road in clubs. I actually wore out the Prat Reed keyboard and had to order replacement in the late 70’s. I traded it in late 70’s toward the purchase of a MultiMoog which was my last monophonic instrument. I then traded the MultiMoog toward the purchase of a Jupiter 6 polyphonic instrument which I then sold to fund a purchase of a DX7 that I got at a deep discount and I was off into the world of midi sequencers and rack mounted gear attached to a PC clone running Sequencer Plus under MS DOS. Never thought these instruments would be so valuable in 2024 and featured as odd relic. Grateful to be around in those days both playing and then selling these instruments myself on 48th Street before all those stores shutdown 30 years later. Loved my EML 101!

It’s still a massive synth. Does the PG 1000 work with boutique D50?

Is it still as good? Will there be a desktop? Is it enough to have Peak?

Didn't they have an optional set of legs that screwed into the front panel so that it could be turned upside down and used as a desk?

I have owned this synth for about 12 years and am just now starting to understand it! Thank you for a great video.

How does this compare to Virus TI

This is nonsense.

Excellent! Thank you

First time hearing this little machine. Very impressed. I’m new to vector synthesis so just to be clear, on the last track are you working with just the one sample and adjusting the parameters within it?

For some odd reason, you sound like the, "Seinfeld" version of George Steinbrenner. ( even the hand gestures)😊😮😅😊

In spite of the Tom Brokaw BREAKING NEWS INTRO THIS THING REALLY TOUCHES ALL MY ASMR SOFT-SPOTS!! ❤😊😋🫠I’m feelin’ all WARM & FUZZY!!! 💦💧🐟

Halloween Q forever

Was a proud owner of the Original Waldorf Q+ ruby red version. 100 Voices with 16 true analog filters! I should have never sold it!!!!

Wow! The An1x sounds amazing 😃🌈🕊🙏🏻✌🏻✨🕊

What version is this? Mine is 2.0. I have a Roland gp-16 digital rack unit for my guitar. Can I saftely run my esq1 through it? Great demo, can you show us how to write to the card?

Sounds like Diva

Cool video but, did anyone else get motion sickness?

I have this synth 🙂

butiful

Sounds gorgeous. I wish I bought one at the time, but the reviews weren’t particularly positive, with complaints of reliability and bugs, if I remember correctly. Just goes to show, you should follow your heart, not the reviews.

The only equivalent that i know is the SY77 by Yamaha, replace the substractive part with FM, it's a workstation as well.

How does the Quantum compare I know it’s really not the same synth but the most similer modern comparison?

legend is true : this synth sucks

Really is a unique gem to this day, I have the blue rack version expanded to 32 voices and it is the workhorse of my studio. Great sound and flexibility. Still need to give the vocoder a whirl.

what is the parameter you modify in real time there with yes or no buttons?

Thank you for this detailed demonstration. I also love the Waldorf synths. I own the MW 1, MW XT, Pulse and soon the Iridium Keyboard. But I still wonder why they didn't just call the Q Microwave 3? Probably because the MW 2 was released 2 years earlier and they simply wanted to participate in the VA synthesizer hype at the end of the 90s.

AMAZING MACHINE

Synth makers should Watch this. What happened? It's 2024 and it's full of overpriced Toys.

thank you for your excellent test, I won't part with my Waldorf Q rack for anything in the world !

I LOVE your work here! <3

I had most of the popular VA synths of the era. Novation Supernova, Roland JP8000, Access Virus C etc. And they where all great in their own ways and could often sound similar to each other but none of them could sound like the Q. The Q is the only one I still have from back then. I will never get rid of it.

Good luck my frend❤

🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮………..Why??????????????????

1999 was my magic year in relation to music.. more precisely, to everything. A playstation on my birthday influenced me also to.

Grait video ...finally

Its character always shows through the programming and its great for a certain sound but not so great for other VA duties where things like a virus C, supernova II, or Lead outshine it.

Beautiful music 🎶

stupid encoders , 9-5 knobs RULE
