Tips for better voice performance
The dynamic voice management of the microQ makes optimal use of its processing power. The
following table shows you how to set up your microQ for the best voice performance.
Sound Parameter Setup Tips
Oscillators
• Use oscillators in the order 1, 2, 3.
• Turn off unused oscillators with the Shape parameter.
Turning off oscillator 1 or 2 but leaving oscillator 3 turned
on will not help.
• Alt1/2 waveforms and the suboscillators use more
processor power than other oscillator types.
Noise
• When you not use Noise turn the N/E Select F1/F2 feed
parameter to an external setting.
Filter
• Use the filters in the order 1, 2.
• Set unused filters bypass with the Type parameter.
• Comb filters need more processor power as other filter
types.
FM
• Turn off FM when you don't need it (Oscillator and Filter
FM). Either set FM Source to off or FM Amount to 0.
Effects
• Set unused effects to Bypass.
LFOs/Envelopes/Mod
ulation
• LFOs, Envelopes and Modulation can be used without
changing the number of voices at all.
