Global Parameters – Global Menu
Ctrl W...Ctrl Z
These parameters are used to define arbitrary MIDI Continuous Controllers as modulation sources for
Sounds. You can set up four Controls, W, X, Y and Z, for this purpose. Each value represents a MIDI
Continuous Controller number that is used when you assign its parameter as modulation source in the
Modifiers or the Modulation Matrix. The highest possible Controller number is 120 because all higher
numbers are reserved for non-real-time purposes.
The most important Sound parameters of the Q can be controlled by MIDI Continuous
Controller messages. If you set one of the Ctrl W...Ctrl Z to a Controller that is also used for a
Sound parameter, the Q disables this Controller as Sound parameter Controller and uses it
exclusively for one of the Ctrl W...Ctrl Z.
This is an important issue when you send Sound parameter changes by tweaking parameters on
the front panel. The Sound parameter is sent out as Controller but can't be received as long as
you don't change Ctrl W...Ctrl Z to other MIDI Continuous Controller messages.
Rx PrgChange
Determines how incoming Midi Program and Bank Changes will be handled.
• Incoming program and bank changes will be ignored if Off is selected.
• If Num is selected, the Q only reacts to incoming program change commands. Bank
change messages will be ignored. This setting can be used in case you wish to work with
only one sound bank.
• With Num+Bank being active the Q reacts to program as well as bank changes. This
setting is recommended for normal use.
Tx PrgChange
Determines the Midi Program and Bank Changes that the Q will send through its Midi Out ports.
• If Off is selected, no program and bank change commands will be send.
• When set to Num the Q only sends program change messages. Bank change messages
won't be send.
• The setting Num+Bank will cause the Q to send program as well as bank change messages
when selecting programs.
