Receiving System Exclusive Data - Waldorf Q Keyboard User Manual

Receiving System Exclusive Data

You are not required to activate a special receive mode at the Q in order to receive system exclusive
data through MIDI. However, there are a few things you should check before you transmit system
exclusive data to the Q:
• Make sure none of the Q's programs is in Edit mode. The edit buffers might be cleared or
overridden depending on the type of dump that is sent to the Q.
• Check out the parameter SysEx ID. Data transmission will only be executed successfully
if the sender and receiver setting coincide.
After activating the dump command at the sender device, the Q will receive data and store these in its
memory.
If a single Sound, Multi, Drum Map, Pattern or Arrangement dump is received, they are temporarily
stored in the respective edit buffers. If you want to keep these edits, you have to store them.
Otherwise they are lost when you switch the Q off.
Receiving sound dumps from the Waldorf microQ
The Q is able to receive a sound dump from the microQ via MIDI. According to that please refer to
the chapter „System Exclusive Data Transmission" in this or the microQ manual.
