Thank you. This is really helpful for me. I hope that you can do an overview about the kernel osc one day. your channel is one of the best in my opinion.
Cheers Tim! I was hoping for one of these videos. I really hope they implement disc streaming and a proper import / auto-mapping function. Far too much effort for me to be bothered with.
Btw does the Quantum do anything special with samples in terms of pitch shifting? Or is it just the regular speed up and slow down the sample as per other samplers as we know it? I ask because I love using samplers like Samplewiz/V-Synth and the way those synths pitch samples can lead to amazing sounds.
@@neilloughran4437 Thanks a lot. No the Quantum does not do the kind of intelligent pitch shift that you get in a vsynth unfortunately. They could of course add it in firmware at a later date but not many companies seem to have perfected that technology in their products....
@@TimShoebridge yeah really odd that... wonder why hardware samplers/synths have not really embraced it... Samplewiz in particular is amazing when using the "modern" setting... and that's years old and AFAIK not developed anymore.
This is great. I have not even explored the sampling side of the Quantum. Seems like no more a pain than the Kronos was. I sampled the crap out of my OSCar before I sold it and look forward to making polyphonic OSCar patches for the Quantum
In my opinion, yes. Many woyld maby say its to complicatet synth. But i didn‘t think so. The structure is very clear and easy to understand. You can start with wuantum, like it was an normal analog synth with a well known panell like the Minimoog. You can start very simple and if your skills grow, you can get as deep as you want and get lost in a good way. Furthermore it is able to do FM, Wavetable, Samling and more. Its a cool synth but i do not like the analog filters. I never turn them on. So maybe its more wise to get the iridium for less mony.
Hi. No, but the only reason why is because I got an Iridium desktop which suited my needs a little better. The quantum went to a friend and is the cornerstone of his setup.
Thanks Tim, cool stuff! As I saw you using the standard Windows file exporer, did you ever try the Resonic program for quickly browsing samples? Highly recommended.
It is when you have multiple samples mapped to the same key or key range, so each time you press a key you will hear a different sample. Round robins help to create a sense of realism.
Is there any tool to import multi samples from a computer ? The creation should be massively easier. I know that specter for blofeld could do it for blofeld, but I do not know anything about the supported formats of the Iridium. Also can you store the preset on the sdcard usb stick?
Tim, I love your vids and honesty. I'm thinking of getting one of these. I've been searching the net for a few questions, so maybe you can help. Does it have a randomizer? and does it have a software editor? I'm really interested in the sampling aspect, but your saying it's very limited . so is this a machine that you love to death, and creates sounds that are worth the $$$? Thanks. And again, you vids are top top quality. like watching a classic film
@ i got one about 2 years ago, and got the sample robot demo. And yes, it’s a super cold software, but I haven’t decided if I want to be emulating everything on the quantum since the sounds I would be pulling off of other synths I could just do on those machines so I haven’t really figured out if it’s worth the money to get the sample robot even though it is super cool
Iridiummm But really neither... they don’t offer any synthesis options I don’t already have. FM and PM are far more robust in the Kronos and Padshop 2 is probably the best granular engine ever made with the added perk of spectral synthesis.
If I had my time again I would choose Iridium over Quantum, just because I prefer 16 voices fully digital to 8 voices with analog filters. The biggest limitation I find with the Quantum is polyphony
But now we have 16 Voice Polyphonie on the Quantum now. And the Quantum has a bigger Interface with more controlls. Would you prefer the iridium anyway?
I don’t know why Waldorf didn’t make entering samples and creating patches more user friendly, it’s a great keyboard but it could have been perfect. A lot,of money to spend so long creating a sound that you can now get from a Roland or arturia subscription for a faction of the price. Am tempted to return mine after wasting another 5 hours. I can use my akai to sample or my daw in seconds…… not lying the keyboard is super cool but justify 4k to have this headache. Just buy an osmoe

Great info thanks Tim, like the sample too!
Thanks a lot Matt, really appreciated. Looking forward to seeing your Quantum/Iridium video soon :)
Thank you! Best Quantum/Iridium Videos on TH-cam.
Ottimo lavoro, ottima presentazione, molto utile!
This is a real good tutorial, thanks for sharing this!

The effects sound pretty good from the Quantum. Effects have gotten better over the years inside of the synths.
Thanks for this. Awesome... I think I have to buy this unit very soon. Greetings from Germaica!
Great video as usual Tim. You must be helping to shift a lot of their units with the quality of this content.

Is it a way to
sequence your patches in a mpc track1,2,3 etc or do i have to do
each patch 1 at a time and then record it and then do another one?
Thanks for this Tim.
Wonderful video as always, this sample import seems tedious, with sample robot support note supporting quantum irridium is it easier?
Super easy now
Hola, he comprado el pack de Nylon, a mi no me aparece en el menu de tools de particulas , la opcion de import. Alguna idea? No puedo instalarlo bien.
It's in Particle>Action>Add now rather than Particle>Action>Import
Very helpful sir! 🙏
Is this a good synth to learn synthesis on and grow with for all kinds of electronic music.
In my opinion, yes. Many woyld maby say its to complicatet synth. But i didn‘t think so. The structure is very clear and easy to understand. You can start with wuantum, like it was an normal analog synth with a well known panell like the Minimoog.

Furthermore it is able to do FM, Wavetable, Samling and more. Its a cool synth but i do not like the analog filters. I never turn them on. So maybe its more wise to get the iridium for less mony.
Years later, I have to wonder...do you still have your Quantum?
Hi. No, but the only reason why is because I got an Iridium desktop which suited my needs a little better. The quantum went to a friend and is the cornerstone of his setup.
Can you import Vst plugins patches or presets from a sd card into the iridium?
No. Only Iridium or Quantum presets.
Thanks Tim, cool stuff! As I saw you using the standard Windows file exporer, did you ever try the Resonic program for quickly browsing samples? Highly recommended.
Thanks for the tip, I will check it out 👍
Useful as ever!
Round Robin? is that when you have 3 samples each in a different octave?
It is when you have multiple samples mapped to the same key or key range, so each time you press a key you will hear a different sample. Round robins help to create a sense of realism.
Waldorf needs to create an editor for PC. They did cut many corners for a premium software based synth.
Thx man, cool video!

Sample robot 6 so I believe:)

Sample Robot is your friend. Quantum has tons of features.
@ i got one about 2 years ago, and got the sample robot demo.

I saw Sample Robot now supports Iridium. Must make things much easier. This looks painful. Great video though
Iridium or Quantum? Which is your preference?
Iridiummm
But really neither... they don’t offer any synthesis options I don’t already have.
FM and PM are far more robust in the Kronos and Padshop 2 is probably the best granular engine ever made with the added perk of spectral synthesis.

@@TimShoebridge Thank you for your feedback sir. It is an interesting viewpoint, and makes sense.
But now we have 16 Voice Polyphonie on the Quantum now. And the Quantum has a bigger Interface with more controlls. Would you prefer the iridium anyway?
Quantum mk2. 64GB of storage. More knobs. Great keyboard with poly at and pretty. Also 16 voices
grazie
By the way the video,is amazing but it’s like trying to explain an akai s1000 sampler. lol
He occasionally says monophonic when he means monaural, but we know what he means.
