Multi Settings - Waldorf Q Keyboard User Manual

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
any of the Ctrl W...Ctrl Z remains assigned the same Controller number.

Multi settings

The Multi settings consists of settings that are common to all instruments in a Multi program.
Multi Volume
Multi Volume sets the overall volume for the selected Multi program. It affects all Instruments of the
Multi program so if you would set Multi Volume to 0, you wouldn't hear anything.
Multi Volume is used to set several Multi programs to similar output levels, especially in live
situations. While recording in a studio, you should set Multi Volume to 127 to get the highest
possible Signal-to-Noise ratio.
Multi Mixer
The Multi Mixer offers fast graphical editing of Volume, Panning and Effect Send for all 16
instruments. The Mute and Solo functions enable fast and intuitive changes to the Multi setup. The
Multi mixer is found after the Multi Volume Menu. The 16 horizontal segments represent the 16
available instruments. A small cursor below the corresponding segment indicates the chosen
instrument. With the red dial you can switch between Level Mode and VU Mode.
Level Mode
In Level Mode the settings for all 16 instruments can be quickly edited. The left display knob selects
the desired parameter. The right display knob changes the value. You can easily compare values for
all 16 instruments at the same time. The following parameters are available:
• Vol shows the actual volume of the instruments in Multimode. Here the volume can be
changed infinitely variable from 0 to 127
• FX1 shows the FX1 Mix Level of the Multi Instruments. It can be changed infinitely
variable from 0 to 127.
• FX2 shows the FX2 Mix Level of the Multi Instruments. It can be changed infinitely
variable from 0 to 127.
VU Mode
The VU Mode graphically shows all incoming Midi signals and current signal volume as a bargraph
(like on a signal analyzer.) This allows you to check which instruments are receiving Midi messages.
