Is it just polyphony (and keyboard obviously)
I searched a little but Im just curious as to if they have the same engine |

| You can't x-fade between two patches on the micro Q. Same sound engine, though ... |

The only differences are the polyphony and the number of knobs on the interface - the MicroQ uses a 4-knob matrix style editing, rather than dedicated knobs like the Q. I think the MicroQ is one of the best bargains out there - you can usually find a 2nd-hand one for under $300.

Well, the keyboard is not really a distinguishing feature of the Q because there is also a rack-mount version of the Q, and there is a keyboard version of the MicroQ.

* Uber knobbage (Q) versus matrix (Micro)
* No xmorph function on the micro.
* In multi, the there is only one 2nd FX block , everything else has a send value. The Q has 2 fx per part.
* Q is 16 voices. Full stop. Micro is dynamically allocated from either 12 (lite), 25 (Garden) or 75 (Omega) depending on the version.
* Sound generation has differences, due to the above.
There is other stuff. |

From my source for everything Waldorf ...
Lower quality DAC's on the microQ, no PPG filter, no x-morph, no variable filter routing, no step sequencer, and the effects allocation is different. |
