hey array, that's interesting what you say about sound on sound...do you mind elaborating a little ? Only cause I hold the magazine in high-regard if there's something I havent heard about/spotted I'd like to hear about it...
also, you picked up a waldorf Q+ ?
Someone is going to sell me their waldorf micro Q if I want it. They will take a small deposit and hold it till I give them the sum in whole ($450).
Do you use a machinedrum/monomachine with your Q ? ...i was thinking about how parameter locks sound modulating the waldorf.... or any kind of quick modulatin in general....I would like to use it with max for some percussive modulating of CC's...Regarding Sound on Sound, there are a couple of articles which I would like to reference. The first of which is here:
http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/Oct04/articles/studioelecomega8.htmThe reviewer in question likens the sound of the Omega 8 to the SuperNova II. In fact, the SuperNova II seems to be brought up in a lot of reviews and used as a benchmark for other synths. I think that is bogus. The SuperNova II does not sound THAT good, and the only reason why I think it keeps on being brought up is because it's from a UK based company. Furthermore, comparing it to the Omega 8 is absolutely ridiculous.
Which brings me to the next article in question:
http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/may99/articles/waldorf.htmThis is just absolutely unbelievable. Gordon Reid did a great job on his "Synth Secrets" articles, but a synth visionary he definately is not. His SERIOUS gripe is the fact that Waldorf didnt include a disk drive in their Q? Who is he kidding? What other VA's on the market at that time had a disk drive? NONE! Not even his beloved SuperNova. This dude had a serious agenda against Waldorf. Where was Gordon Reid when Access released their bug-ridden Virus TI?
Regarding your MicroQ.....$450 is WAYYY too much. That much would only be worth it if the MicroQ in question was a 75 voice version. Otherwise, I would be hard pressed to justify spending over $375 for one. For the record, I bought a NEW MicroQ for $300 back in 2002 when the yellow ones were being blown out as a closeout item (I later sold it for $300 in order to help finance the Q+, I thought there would be some Karmic reprocussions if I tried selling it for more than I bought it).
I dont own any Elektron kit YET, but I dont see why you wouldnt be able to sequence the MicroQ with it. It is fully MIDI controllable. At the very least, you should be able to set standard modulation destinations such as modwheel, foot pedal, aftertouch, etc.
