So, I just got myself a Micro Q. It sounds awesome. I will post pictures after our camera comes back from the shop.

i got the microwave xt and still think this is one of the most impressive gears ever.
it's like birthday again for me that waldorf is being reincarnated - their new stuff looks awesome and the prices are also good - thinking about the micro q myself - could you post some audio samples and a short review ? would be very nice.
one thing that i would love to have but is absolutely not possible to find is the rack attack - it's so rare and when someon already got it he won't give it away for nothing.
that was my biggest hope that they will continue making the rack attacks... seems like i have to get the vst version

Rack attacks go for about 500 on ebay.
So far I have to say that the Micro Q is one impressive piece of synthesizer. Being able to set an envelope to cycle through a wavetable is ingenious, and so graciously implemented here. I have a serious hate-hate thing for synthesizers that require matrix surfing, but this one seems extremely easy. While I can't give my definitive review having only had a few hours with it, I will say this. Out of all my VA, it seems to do analogue style bass better than the rest, and its not even supposed to be a VA synthesizer. Its not great that I can see for the rich BOC style pads that I always end up making even though I don't intend to however. It seems to be great for glitches and bleeps and stuff. I can see where waldorf made their name.
It even has this cute synthesizer demo where they walk you through each of the sound used in a little narrative that is thrown into the menu. Its totally excessive, but kind of gives you an hint at the obsessive little details that seem hidden in this thing.
As for your audio demo thing, maybe/probably, but I am lazy, so don't expect anything right away.

My girlfriend says the exact same thing, only she is talking about the money I end up spending on it instead of the gear itself.

You seem to have quite a thing for the Electric Pianos.

Yes I am :)
Yeah, that new fender rhodes is totally analogue, but comes with a midi and USB connection. I think the midi is hot, but can't really care much about the USB connection, even though it is an innovative touch.
Those new waldorf EP's look really hot too. Its kind of cliche, but I really like the one with the british flag on it. I hope they are true analogue and not sample based like the nord stage or anything.
I really really want to get everything waldorf has to offer now. I don't need the keyboard, but I really want the pulse, a microwave and a rack attack. The microQ has totally sold me on everything else.

I had to sell the nord lead because I had absolutely no money - it's working out for the better (the best, actually) cause I replaced it with a micro modular. I am on it every day/hour. im going to get a good midi interface so my laptop can be a master clock for it and the sps-1

There is some other stuff that is hidden around other parts of the room, such as my guitar pedals.

Local guy moving to Germany, decided he would rather just play with samples he made than the synthesizer. I reaped the benefits ;)
My studio is in a constant state of flux. Selling and buying things. I am extremely happy to have a Waldorf synthesizer in my studio (the early micro-q's should drop in price just before the blofeld comes out, so expect to see them at around $250 a few weeks prior).
I am going to be selling the nord soon. I want to get myself a cs-20 and an mfb synth II, then invest in a good controller keyboard.
