$2 grand?
no frickin way... you can get a 32 voice Q for a litte more than that... there's no way that thing would be more than $1000.... seriously, no one would buy it if it was more than that.....

I just calculated the price difference between expanded Q and Q+ because the content of the box IS the difference between Q and Q+ ;-)
I think that Waldorf aims to the professionals market where softsynth are on the march. The AFB might find it's place among the other expensive FX-Boxes like for example a Lexicon PCM81. This thing will be for those who pay 1700 $ for an RME ADI 8 DS AD/DA converter box etc, not for us poor home users ;-)

The thing I don't get though, is why drop an analog filter into a digital chain? You've got to convert from digital, back into analog, then into digital again...two conversions, two sets of interpolation, two sets of dithering, etc... ewww!!! Pain in the ass as far as I'm concerned. Fuck it, keep it simple.

why dont they just make a two (switchable stereo or dual mono) filter box with a sequencer type interface (not software!@#) that clocks to midi. it could have both analog & digital ins/outs and still be cheap as hell. im with horizons too, needs to be more than just lp.

The AFB isn't a simple analog filterbox. You'll be able to modulate the filters from the envelopes, LFOs, Knobs of software synthesizeres that are prepared for it.

You have a software synthesizer with digital filters. Filter envelope, cutoff and resonance are programmed in a way that you get a nice filter sweep if you play a note. If you hold that note and play another not it will make a new sweep, same with every new note.
To be able to do this you need a filter per voice.
With theAFB you'll have aa anolog filter per (up to 16) voice(s).

How can you do that with an xpole or 4 pole ?
