MIDI Control – Channel Based MIDI Messages
139 Waldorf microQ User´s Manual
Modulation Wheel
The microQ receives Modulation Wheel MSB Messages and evaluates them as “Modwheel"
abbreviated as “MW” modulation source. The microQ keyboard also sends Modulation Wheel MSB
Messages.
Breath Control Messages
The microQ receives Breath Control MSB Messages and evaluates them as “BreathCtr” modulation
source.
Foot Controller Messages
The microQ receives Foot Control MSB Messages and evaluates them as “Foot Ctr” modulation
source.
Channel Volume Messages
The microQ receives Channel Volume Messages (Controller #7) and scales the output of the
respective Sound to that value. The maximum Sound volume depends on the settings in the Sound,
Instrument and Multi. Channel Volume changes the volume relative to these settings.
Pan Messages
The microQ receives Pan Messages (Controller #10) and balances the two Filter outputs according to
this value. A value of 64 means that the Filter Pan settings are kept as they are while smaller values
weigh the signal towards the left output and larger values weigh the signal towards the right output.
Sustain Pedal Messages
The microQ receives Sustain Pedal Messages (Controller #64) and evaluates them as follows: if a
value greater or equal than 64 is received, the “Key Pressed” envelope phases of all voices of the
respective MIDI channel are played. If a value smaller than 64 is recieved, the “Key Off” envelope
phases are played. Sustain Pedal Messages can also be used with the “Sust. Ctr” modulation source.
Sostenuto Pedal Messages
The microQ receives Sostenuto Pedal Messages (Controller #65) and evaluates them as follows: if a
value greater or equal than 64 is received, the “Key Pressed” envelope phases of the currently playing
voices of the respective MIDI channel are played. Voices that are played afterwards are not affected
by the Sostenuto Pedal message. If a value smaller than 64 is recieved, the “Key Off” envelope phases
of the affected voices are played.
All Notes Off Message
The microQ sends an All Notes Off Message to the internal tone generator and over MIDI on all
channels when the Power button is pressed briefly.
When the microQ receives an All Notes Off Message, it forces the envelopes of all sounding voices to
go into their release phases. Furthermore, Arpeggiators are stopped if they were running.
All Sound Off Message
The microQ sends an All Sound Off Message to the internal tone generator and over MIDI on all
channels when the Power button is pressed until the power down countdown starts.
