Multi Mode
The Waldorf microQ offers a 16 part Multi mode. As soon as you want to arrange keyboard layers for
a live performance or want to do multi track recordings in a studio, you should start to program your
own Multis that you can use to quickly switch between completely different setups.
Only a Multi combines the various sections of the microQ like Sounds, MIDI In/Out Channel settings,
or audio output routings. The following picture shows the structure of a Multi.

should do it anyway because it eases your work with the microQ when you use it live or for
recording.
