“Hey, eBay! Up for grabs is a used, tested, and confirmed working Waldorf Micro Q Synthesizer Rack Module in “classic blue” color scheme. All the buttons and LEDs are working. In good condition all around, except for a little rack rash on the top [see pictures]. One generic, compatible AC12V/1.5Amp power adapter is included, but unfortunately no manual, literature, or packaging. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Waldorf Micro Q Synthesizer. Condition is Used.

A compact but handy and affordable synthesizer with huge power in a “classic yellow” all metal housing.

Its synthesis and its basic sound descends from the Waldorf Q series, but we did not only implement its first-class sound, but also the powerful arpeggiator and the clever Drum Map, per the original Waldorf advert.

You can see in the pictures that the OS is updated.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

” Waldorf Micro Q Lite Synthesizer. Screen says Version 1.25 on power up.

Made in Germany. Age unknown, serial number P 1 310050 008406. Powers up and all knobs and functions seem to be working as they should, although I don’t have a keyboard or any other MIDI gear to connect this to. The demo plays through an amplifier.

This is the “Lite” version. According to what I’ve read on a forum, should you wish to, “any Micro Q Lite can be upgraded with free Software/OS to a full Micro Q with 25 voices at the Waldorf website”. I don’t guarantee this to be true, but that was what was posted over a year and a half ago on a forum.

Very good + cosmetic condition, a few minor scratches, mainly on top and bottom, the control panel is nearly perfect. I’m not an synth expert, so please ask questions before bidding.

Uses a 12 volt DC 1.2A center + power supply (not included, I used a universal power supply to test the unit).” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“This is a great condition Micro-Q, and a particularly rare color and encoder. Power supply has a weird adapter on it the original owner used, and it worked just fine for me. Everything functions, all encoders work and the synth sounds fantastic. I have too many wavetable synths!” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Functionally, this unit has yet to show any of the issues that sometimes affect Micro Qs. The encoders all work properly, with no value-skipping.

Cosmetically, the unit is in nice shape. The paint is in decent shape, as I hope you can see from the pictures. The display is bright and readable. The lower-right rack ear is bent back slightly. I can’t say whether this affects its ability to mount properly, as I’ve just had it on a desk for the short time that I’ve owned it. I’m selling because, although I like the sound, I haven’t really gelled with the interface.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Waldorf Micro Q Phoenix Edition # 243 / 500

by

” Up for sale is our Waldorf Micro Q Limited Phoenix Edition with OLED Red display. These are hard to come by and sound absolutely amazing. This particular one is # 243 of 500 made. The sound slays the newer Waldorf stuff.. To me and many others this is the last great sounding Waldorf to be released. It looks amazing and works great… ALL encoders work great, no issues. All buttons as well. The only thing to note is there is a hum on the headphone output… the hum is NOT on the main left right outs.. just headphone out. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“I purchased this on eBay a few years back and haven’t found myself using it nearly as much as I thought. I love the sound of it but have run out of space, so on the auction block it goes.

Everything I’ve tried with it works as expected. I had another one a few years back also, and this one works just as well. The unit also looks essentially flawless.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

” This synth is awesome! Kept in spotless smoke and dust free studio and then kept in storage. I have booted this up and tested functionality. It is working perfectly. In one picture you’ll see in the rack mounting hole there is a paint defect that came from the factory. This is the same as the more expensive Waldorf Q in a smaller rack mountable package. It has a powerful arpeggiator, two independent filters that can run parallel or independently, a mod matrix and more. This means lots of possibilities to sculpt your sound. Make pads, classic synth sounds, thick bass, evolving sounds, you name it. You will be very satisfied with your purchase. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“This yellow rack mount version of the Waldorf Micro Q synth is in fantastic condition! It has been tested and is fully functional, it has been kept in a climate-controlled music studio, has no major cosmetic flaws, it is simply a well-made synthesizer, and it has been the most reliable synth in my entire collection! Included with the synthesizer are 2 Midi cables, the original Waldorf Micro Q Manual, and original power adapter.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“This is in good cosmetic condition – a scratch on the top panel, and barely visible rack wear, otherwise this synth looks pretty new! Since I used this remotely, all knobs and buttons have low wear and work exactly as they should, and all of the front panel lettering is intact. All inputs and outputs work as they should.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“OK. So, you can get a Micro Q fairly cheap these days. But good luck finding one like this that has the following features:

* New Open Box!
* Stenzel Signature Series 12 of 25
* 75 Voice Expansion Card installed (was also brand new upon installation)

That’s right. This unit is about as rare as these Micro Qs can come by these days. It was only opened to have the expansion installed. The unit has been in the box ever since. This one is signature 12 of 25 by Stefan Stenzel.

This could be the last brand new unit of its kind around.”

“Waldorf Micro Q. Functionally 100% and cosmetically excellent save for a few minor blemishes and scuffs I couldn’t even get to show up in pictures. Includes an additional custom set of slim profile walnut sides. Will ship with buyers preference attached but auction includes both sets and an IEC power chord. Manual and box have sadly gone missing.

Has spent is entire life in a smoke free studio.

This thing is killer but to be honest I seldom used it and I’m trying to free up space and funds for other stuff so it’s time to let it go. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

microq “For sale is my Waldorf Micro Q. This is a wonderful little virtual analog synth that fits nicely in a rack. Over the years I have sold off a ton of real and virtual analog synths, but this little guy has stuck around. Why? Because it is a very flexible VA synth that can mimic a lot of gear while also having it’s own unique sound. It also has a great arpeggiator that goes far beyond your basic arpeggiator as you have the ability to really create and customize your own arpeggiator patterns, including rhythmic pulsating chords in addition to melodic multi-octave lines.

The filters sound fantastic, as Waldorf filters always do. You have 2 to work with and can select from different filter types. You have 3 oscillators and a bunch of modulation options. All the programming can be done via the front panel using the matrix selectors and 4 data entry knobs and align with the selected section. If you like hands on programming, this is the perfect balance of compact size and and ease of use.

The unit has amazing presets that cover a lot of ground. Pads, leads, basses, organs, keyboards, sequence patterns, etc. There are multiple audio outputs and even an audio input.

These are very well loved units that are still very sought after. They are based on the same synth engine as the full sized Q synth, thus the “Micro” Q name. This is just a compact version of that mighty synth.

This particular unit is in absolutely mint condition – not a scratch or blemish on it that I can see. I always take good care of my gear, including using plastic washers when rack mounting gear so the screws don’t blemish the front panel. I have had this unit since 2004. It is in perfect working condition. I doubt you will fine one in better condition.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
