Yeah…it’s got Analog Filters.
If it was Digital, it would be cheaper, probably. And maybe closer to a “Budget” Waldorf.

Looks cool, and exceeded my expectations with the analog filter and stereo vca per voice. I believe the filter chip is the same one that is in the UDO Super 6 and the Prophet X.
Also awesome are the separate outs for processing through FX. That’s one thing I love about the DT keys.

I feel like I am getting close to jumping on one of these expensive poly desktop units… this one certainly seems like it could be up there, quite like that it has more of a classic waldorf vibe.
It looks like, that the built quality is on par with the Iridium. It´s worth the 1800€. And…street prices are always lower. Iridium goes for 2500€ currently (2719€ UPE). So “M” will be probably around 1600€ later on. The Iridium is top quality, built and soundwise.
I like it that Waldorf is back on the “Bond names for synths” road.

Yea at that price point I could just upgrade to an iridium
But you lose the analog filter, if that´s important for you.

Don’t really get the 4 stereo outs for 8 voices. That’s completely against the trends (which is to be commended), but maybe too much. Won’t sell my XT just yet. The digital filter models make that one special.The iridium is very (too) close in price.

Good point. That changes the tone. I almost added to my cart but then realized that super booth doesn’t start until tomorrow. It does have a good tone. Let’s see what UDO has tomorrow.

But would you take it over three Wavestates? 
That really does sound tremendous. Way better than any Kyra demo I’ve heard.
