The polyphonic hybrid synthesizer has undergone several improvements and enhancements and now appears in a noble blue hue. The new semi-weighted 61-key keyboard is a Fatar TP/8SK with polyphonic aftertouch; this allows specific, individual control of single notes. The internal flash memory has also been expanded, providing 59 GB for sample management. Since Quantum and Iridium share a common OS platform, many features are identical and patches (apart from those using the Quantum's analogue filters) are fully compatible. The 8 respectively 16 voices of the Quantum Mk2 are distributed over two parts, so two sounds can be played simultaneously. These can be played polyphonic, mono, legato, Unisono or as a chord. More than 2000 patches are already pre-programmed ex works, the total patch memory is sufficient for 10,000 sounds. Thanks to the category filter and favourite list, you can quickly reach your goal despite the many sounds. Synthesis & Sound Generation At the heart of the Quantum Mk2 are its three digital oscillators, each with five selectable synthesis modes: Wavetable: Waldorfstyle with the latest Nave technology including speech synthesis and generation of Wavetables from external audio sources Waveform: Waveform with up to 8 simultaneous waveforms per oscillator in detuned or chordal mode with hard sync, warp, PWM as well as pitchable noise Particle: Granular sampler with multisampling and traditional sampling mode Resonator: exciter with multisampling and filterbank modelling Kernel: up to 6 sub-oscillators that can be linked via FM at Audiorate; for futuristic experimental sounds and FM-like sounds The oscillators on their own do some incredible things and offer an enormous range of different sounds.
