Not so long ago, a very beautiful and talented lady visited me, and brought her uQ along, and we compared patches, and even with all of the setting IDENTICAL from scratch, the sound quality of the two synths (QRack and uQ) are different. The micro tends to be hotter, and brighter, louder, but not as warm, deep and smooth as the Q. Different tools. People say same engines, but it's not. Different ranges and responses, I'm tellin ya. uQ kind of reminds of Nord's sound with a German twist. Big Q sounds like it's...itself. So anyhoos, there's a tidbit.

I sure enjoyed listening to the uQ's sound and sniffing out its capabilities. Pretty tough little unit for its size. Yup, good session. Still love my rack more, but the uQ has its place too. I wonder if the board sounds the same.

I've seen the timing drift you're talking about. But it's never effected the actual timing. If you go to the tempo screen it's bouncing around within 1 or 2 BPMs... but it SOUNDS solid!

i've actually been very impressed with the clock on the uQ... Quantization of arpegiation's is a must!

Got my uQ and loving it.Never heard the Q so
it's not a biggee to me.It sits very well w/ my
analogs.It's definitely not warm but i don't think
that any VA is as warm as the real deal.Has a
very in depth engine though.I just got mine
Friday so i'll let you know about any bugs or
lack thereof later.
