Ambient music:
As a genre, ambient focuses on creating a mood or atmosphere through synthesizers and timbral qualities. It often lacks the presence of any net composition, beat, or structured melody. Due to its relatively open style, ambient music often takes influences from many other genres, ranging from house, dub, industrial and new age, amongst several others. Since it is a relatively ambiguous term, ambient has no distinct characteristics, and its style can vary a great deal. In essence, it is a term to describe any form of electronic music which puts an emphasis on tone and atmosphere over traditional musical structure or rhythm. Ambient music is often highly conceptual and experimental in style, while it is said to evoke an "atmospheric", "visual" or "unobtrusive" quality.
Space music:
Space music, also called spacemusic, is an umbrella term, synonymous with a segment of New Age Music and Ambient Music. It has also been associated with preceding styles of relaxing music such as lounge music, easy-listening, and elevator music... space music can evoke a "continuum of spatial imagery and emotion,"which can be beneficial for introspection, and for developing, through a practice of deep listening, an awareness of the spatiality of sound phenomenon. This type of psychonautic listening can produce a subtle trance-like state in certain individuals which can in turn lead to sensations of flying, floating, cruising, gliding, or hovering... space music is used by some individuals for both background enhancement and foreground listening, often with headphones, to enable states of relaxation, contemplation, inspiration, and generally peaceful expansive moods; it may promote health through relaxation, atmospherics for bodywork therapies, and effectiveness of meditation. Space music appears in many film soundtracks and is commonly played in planetariums.

I love this synth, so, so much. The virtual analogs of the late 90s are some of my favorite synths and this one towers with it's clarity and flexibility. What a masterpiece!
Thanks! The Waldorf Q is one of the most powerful VAs ever built. It sounds unlike any other digital synth.
really love the fact that this composition floats in space without any obligatory beat grounding it... brilliant work.
Thanks for your lovely comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the piece and the wide open space. :)
I'm the lucky owner of a 32-voice Q Phoenix. They are rare. I will never sell it. Simply said, it is an 'exotic' synth.
Wow congrats! Lucky yo have a Phoenix, and 32-voices at that.
First ambient demo on the new Waldorf Q 32-voice keyboard!
This one is a mellow drone improvisation with some interesting sonic textures... enjoy.
WALDORF Q - Ambient drone space music 【SYNTH DEMO】
That's an even sicker yellow than my sledge. I want one!
Build quality of the Q is also much better than the sledge.
@@SPAZZOID100 It is, but the Sledge is by no means a poorly built synth just because of its plastic construction. Its very durable, perfectly fit for live performances, light and sturdy.
How about making more ambient drone chillout music videos? You have only made so few of them, I think we need maybe about 100 more ambient drone chillout music videos
If you're referring to the video title, it's written that way for SEO purposes
And nothing wrong with some ambient drone music, if you're into it. :)
(in Gollum voice) ahhhhh.. Precious..
Seriously though.. I'd probably chomp in to a live fish for one of these bad boys.
started crying whilst listening
vintage digital :D had them all, sold them all
great sounds !!! Big thumbs up
At the end it sounds like those weird flangy sounds in Dirty Harry with the lady ahhhing
before that funky bass comes in ! What a synth.....Waldorf are a high quality that's for sure.
Really cool!
dig the lush chorus effect
Bro it has onboard sequencer? Its got a massive sound for an old lady i havent heard anything better even better than virus and prophet on pads
There is a 32-step sequencer on the Waldorf Q. It sounds very crisp for a digital synth, still an amazing synth today.
Really cool sound
beautiful!
i am really impressed! so amazing, sweet and beautiful live played and stereo panned soundscapes !
with that sexy looking synth in a hot yellow summer dress :-)
Thanks VolcaRock ! I have to admit I wasn't sure where this one would go, but sometimes it's best not to plan in advance and just let the flow take you places. :)
synth4ever totally agree! not everything must be planned, especially when making music :-)
I bet that Q supports Yellow vest movement. And Q+ too.. ;)
"Watch it again" eh, CZcams? So soon? Alright, you've twisted my arm. ;)
CZcams knows what's good for you :)
I'll admit, I'm impressed. I want to get into synthesizers, I've pushed all of my other expensive habits to the side as I save for a nice cheap one, but do you have any suggestions on what I should do, to help at all?
+The Emjoria Show CZcams wasn't allowing me to reply to your comment for months for some reason, but now I can.... very strange. Anyway, a few questions to consider with regards to getting into synths:
- are you interested in analog or digital synths?
- Modern or vintage synths?
- Do you prefer synths with tactile interfaces (sliders/knobs) for real-time tweaking, instead of programming via a small LCD screen/menu diving?
- what's your budget?
I actually wrote a detailed list of things to consider on www.synth4ever.com, under the INTERVIEWS section -- check that out too.
Hmm, very weird. My budget is extremely small. As a student, money is difficult to come by. I might purchase a retro synth if I ever get the money, or just get some sort of computer software.
Very nice! Congrats on your yellow Q 32 voice!!! I much prefer the Q Keyboard interface for immediacy as well. My yellow Q is 16 voices though. I STILL have my yellow Q rack though as a "back-up" because I love this synth so much!! Nice sounds. Have you been trying out the "Xmorph" feature much? It's such a capably deep synth that I passed on a DSI Prophet 12 because I simply feel I have more sonic options with Q and XT.
Thanks Robert, I was wondering when you'd stop by. :)
Yes, this 32-voice Q is certainly a nice one... in great condition functionally and cosmetically, although it cost me a bit more than I expected. I'm in the process of trying to sell the Q rack right now, need to pay off the keyboard. :)
As for the Xmorph feature... haven't explored it too deeply but it seems similar to the Yamaha AN1x scene morph function (seamlessly switch between 2 patches).
DSI Prophet 12 also seems very capable but I'm not sure if I'm into the sound... I'll have to play with one at a local music shop sometime to get a better sense.
For now though, the Q is certainly keeping me busy. I really enjoy the pristine audio fidelity and the multiple oscillator shapes + wavetables, lots of variety to create sounds. Waldorf got it right in virtual analog with this synth, that's for sure!
Some people have even gone as far as finding the Q is totally in it's own category in that it's neither TRYING to be a 'virtual analog' nor purely a wavetable synth. The Q is a beast of a synth that definitely has it's own character with an interface that other synth makers should re-examine as far as excellent interfaces for creativity and WIDE variety in sound design.
Great job and I look forward to more future sound demos from you on the Q. You can also do excellent Karplus-Strong sounds on the Q and the user manual actually explains this in great detail. The Xmorph feature is actually MUCH deeper and interesting than what the AN1X take is on this. It takes you to alien sonic universes.
How does the full synth compare to the desktop/rack as far as control goes? Love the sound of these, although I'd like the rack for yellowmonsterspace reasons. Great sounding vid! :D
Full synth = 58 knobs... desktop rack version = 28 knobs. Big difference for immediacy of control vs. having to push buttons at times to access same parameters on the rack version. Also, size... rack version is small and compact, keyboard is big. :) Despite having fewer knobs, the rack is still intuitive and easy to use and you can tweak on the fly quickly. I'd recommend it if you can't get the keyboard version.
I don't suppose there is a basic tutorial explaining the different parameters used in these drone sounding patches?
Hey James, no tutorials but I can tell you that lots of reverb is definitely key, along with long ADSR release times.
I have been trying to chose between which synth it is i want to buy next, the two options are Waldorf microwave XTK or the Waldorf Q, i am still so unsure of which synth that i should go for of the two. Any suggestions from you that own both the XT and the Q?
Well depends, are you only interested in wavetable synthesis or virtual analog? The XT is pretty unique (although there are newer wavetable synths on the market), and the Q is still a fantastic and powerful machine. Both are very versatile but I'd say the Q has more versatility for a wide palette of sounds, whereas XT's strengths is wavetable sounds and experimental palettes. You can't go wrong with either one IMO, just depends on type of sounds and features you're interested in.
@@synth4ever I am mostly interested in wavetable synthesis yes, but what is it that the XTK have that the Q dont have. I know the Q has a comb filter and modulation matrix presets, do the XTK have that?
@@synth4ever Thanks a lot for your response by the way.
@@snuppssynthchannel XT and Q both have a mod matrix, the XT doesn't have a sequencer though (Q does). Q has reverb , XT doesn't. XT has tons of wavetables, Q only has 2 and you can't modify them like you can on the XT. XT has various filter modes, Q has few by comparison. Both sound awesome in their own right.
You'd need to review the manual specs to see how features stack up but its really a question if you prefer wavetable over traditional VA. The XT's interface is designed around working with wavetables, the Q is a standard subtractive VA interface. If you are interested in wavetable synthesis you might also look at ASM Hydrasynth and Modal Argon8 which are coming out.
@@synth4ever Thanks alot for this well needed info, this was the information i needed to be shure of which synth to go for, i will go for the XTK then.
wonderful music! and a great instrument, except I don't like the bright yellow!
Theres anyway I can buy your music, or the rights? I really want to include it in a short film, that I looking froward to present in many festivals
+Nicolás Bañales Hi, thanks for your msg. You can buy my music at synth4ever.bandcamp.com . As for licensing for use in a short film, I will follow up with you by email to discuss further. :)
This is both the ugliest and the most beautiful synth I've ever seen.
is this available to download in wav or mp3 somewhere else? :)
Hi JP, yes you can download this track (and others on the album) here: synth4ever.bandcamp.com/track/sunken-ships
What is the processing on the synth ? what effects and treatment please ?
best
t
Thomas Muller Hi Thomas, the only effects used were the Waldorf Q's built-in reverb and a touch of its delay.
No additional processing/treatment was applied to the audio track, it is 100% Waldorf Q.
synth4ever thanks
synth4ever Have you tried the Waldorf Q+ ?
Thomas Muller Not yet... hopefully someday! :)
