They went total integration (usb2 filter bank).

Ok, I guess the Q+ and AFB were too expensive and too many people judged synths by how fat supersaw kind of leads they can do which is sad. Not every good sound is fat. Waldorf synths can do some really beautiful sounds.

The Waldorf range of synths were very nice....but they priced themselves out of the market. I seem to remember their 16 voice Q used to cost around ?1700....thats just a bit too much for a digital synth. Id pay that for analog but not digital....

Access needs to watch out....they are creeping up to the upper financial limit most are prepared to pay for digital....

Either that or im just poor

The SynthWizard has some advice - Back in the 1980's music was better, TV was better, films were better. Not to mention fashion.... Let me help you relive the past with some classic 80's sounds from my vintage synth collection....

i would disagree,
i think the development of the analog filter and software were a financial risk which eventualy failed... they were not able to sell enough units to cover this loses so shit happends...

So now the waldorf-music site is owned by a new company and they are reselling the line of synths for the same prices that they always were?
