Basic Operation – Editing Parameters
Waldorf microQ User´s Manual 34
For each parameter level you can also access an edit menu, since only the most important parameters
can be directly accessed through the parameter matrix. To activate the edit menu of the selected
section simply press the Edit button in the master section to edit all additional parameters in the
microQ’s display.
Editing Display Menu Parameter
There are display menus for all sections of the parameter matrix The display menus contain additional
parameters that are not directly accessible from the front panel. You can reach these menus by
pressing the Edit button in the master section.
☞ To access a specific display menu parameter:
1. With the navigation buttons you choose the parameter section you wish to reach. For
instance, if you wish to edit the Keytrack of any Oscillator please choose the Oscillator
section in the Parameter matrix.
2. Press the Edit button of the Master section.
3. The first page of the oscillators’ display menu will appear. If you did some editing in this
menu before, the display may show another page. This happens because the microQ
remembers the state of each display menu:
O1 Keytrk|O1 BendRg
+100% | +02
4. Use the page dial to scroll through the menu. Turning the dial clockwise selects the next
page, turning it counterclockwise selects the previous page. You can also press the Edit
button again to select the next page.
5. Use the value dials below the display to adjust the corresponding parameters. Some
display menus consist of only a single parameter. Only the leftmost value dial will be
active then.
6. After finishing all edits, press the Play button in the Master section to return to normal
mode.
While editing display menu parameters, you can also adjust panel parameters and vice versa.
In addition to the Edit button, three other buttons located on the right hand of the Master section
allow you to set up further parameters:
• The Global parameters provide the basic settings of the microQ, valid for all programs.
• The Multi parameters refer to a Multi program. They determine the common setting for all
instruments in the Multi program. Obviously, you can access these parameters only when
the microQ is in Multi mode.
• The Sound parameters refer to a Sound program. If you are in Single Mode, you will edit
the currently played program. If you are in Multi mode, the Sound program for the
currently selected Instrument will be edited. Here you can program the parameter of a
Drum Map, too.
The procedure for setting up these parameters is the same as for adjusting the other display menu
parameters described above.
When you have finished all your edits, you should store the program. Please read the chapter on page
37 about storing programs for further information.
