if so then it is another company adopting the Medeli technology.
ADDED : And it turns out the poly-aftertouch keybed Waldorf uses is from Fatar.

I think M, Kyra and Iridium all can take polyaftertouch. In the M the call it Polypress as a mod source.

Exactly. Iām sure the problems people are raising are real, itās just that Iāve had the opposite experience. The Iridium is one of the most stable and well built synths Iāve used. Iāve had mine for over a year as well.
Regarding the new Waldorf, Iām wondering if itās an upgraded version of this:

Thanks for that !
So a controller from Waldorf, that had hooks built in and is friendly with all three, even all three simultaneously, could make sense for Waldorf. It would help sell the controller and reference sell all three synths too.
Think of the capabilities / ( status ) of owning all four parts. A keyboard with lots of special controls and the ability to split the keyboard between synths would be really powerful.
I could see Waldorf bringing in Axel Hartmann again to do the user interface on this sort of controller monster.
Does it need a sequencer and/or arpeggiator ?
ADDED : For Gino, add in a nice CV interface for this controller !

If it is called that itās an instant buy. It could sound bad like a raveolution but I would still buy just for bragging rights

Reminds me of when I bought my Blofeld, I bought it as soon it was announced and it had no issues what so ever but everywhere I read everyone was having all kinds of issues, with the screen with the potentiometers with syncing but mine ran perfectly. Sometimes it just comes down to luck of getting a solid unit from a good batch I guess. For me the iridium I got just sucked and I didnāt want to deal with sending it out to be looked at me I never really fell in love with it so I was happy to part with it.

I think many of their synths respond to poly aftertouch. If you check the micro q and blofeld manuals it is in there. I donāt have a controller that sends poly aftertouch though, so I have never tried it.

That would be awesome. I regret not buying a second KB37 when they were at close out prices.
And now theyāre teasing a sequencerā¦
Waldorf VA, with Elektron sequencer, and ASM PolyTouch techā¦ damn the prospect of that has me drooling copiously
I didnāt get sequencer from those words. My thoughts where more about expressiveness.
Still very curious. Could still only be a new firmware for the quantum. Hehe

Agreed, still very much in controller territory, though there may be a sequencer onboard, ofc

Mmm fair enough, maybe it was wishful thinking 
All this Syntakt business has me hoping for allsorts
Definitely the tops of control knobs in the background, not that that tells us a lot. Controller or synth, or combination.
An alliteration on āPā, but again that doesnāt mean much if anything at all.
At least we can expect another tease now in another week. And it also looks like the announcement will be long before Superbooth.

Hehe. It is easy to be clouded by your own wishful thinking.
Or Waldorf Moonraker? No āPā thoā¦
My moneyās on something like āPoly Mā, a M with poly aftertouch keyboard.

The M is already expensive. Add a PAT and it fits in the mortgage category.

Working. Under. Pressure.
Push. Play. Perform.
Weāre just having fun with this, so allow me to be completely ridiculous. A bit of whimsy.
WUP => Waldorf Utility Product
PPP => P3
Waldorf has been a very good collaborator. So in addition to Medeli, they have a friendly agreement with another German company, Ableton, to do the Push 3 Standalone, the P3, with a poly-aftertouch keyboard. The software running the system is mainly supplied by Ableton. Included with the system are several of the best Waldorf plugins.
If you already own a Push 2 you will still be happy. This is not made to completely replace the Push 2, you can plug that in and use these together, or the P3 can be used alone.
Like i said ridiculous ! I donāt believe this for an instant. This is Textsynth type material.
As stated by Bo Beats recently. Pure speculation.
