Transpose Mode - Waldorf Q Keyboard User Manual

Note 1...8
With the value Note 1 to 8 you can supplementary edit the recorded notes per step. It doesn't matter
how many notes you put in per step. When using a monophonic sequencer line Note 1 transposes the
corresponding notes, while Note 2 to 8 are creating new notes in each case. In polyphonic chords
Note 1 to 8 can be used to edit the existing notes
With this function you easily can insert notes subsequent into a step or change existing chords
without being in need of making new additions with the keyboard. This especially makes sense
when working with the Q Rack.
Transpose
With this function you can transpose infinitely variable existing notes up or down. The notes are
transposed as long as you're turning the encoder.
Pattern Length
Sets the length of the sequence pattern. A sequence pattern can have a maximum number of 32 steps.
When you set Pattern Length to a value smaller than 32, you can still edit the steps that are outside
this range but you won't hear them when the Step Sequencer is running.

Transpose Mode

Used to activate or deactivate the transpose of the pattern when Grab Control is off or no step is
selected.
• Off means that the sequence isn't transposed. The keyboard acts as usual.
• On means that the sequence is transposed relatively to the Transpose Key setting. The
keyboard is used to set the transpose offset with "last note priority" as soon as the Step
Sequencer is running.
• 1 Octave means that the sequence is transposed relatively to the Transpose Key setting but
all transposes are mapped to half an octave below or above the Transpose key. The
keyboard is used to set the transpose offset with "last note priority" as soon as the Step
Sequencer is running.
Transpose Key
Sets the basic key from where transposes start. This feature is useful when you i.e. have a sequence in
C major where the first note is an E. Setting Transpose Key to C3 assures that the sequence really
plays in C major when you hit a C.
