Multi Mode – Instrument settings
43 Waldorf microQ User´s Manual
The most important Sound parameters of the microQ can be controlled by MIDI Continuous
Controller messages. If you set one of the Ctrl W…Ctrl Z to a Controller that is also used for a
Sound parameter, the microQ disables this Controller as Sound parameter Controller and uses
it exclusively for one of the Ctrl W…Ctrl Z.
This is an important issue when you send Sound parameter changes by tweaking parameters on
the front panel. The Sound parameter is sent out as Controller but can’t be received as long as
any of the Ctrl W…Ctrl Z remains assigned the same Controller number.
Multi Volume 0…127
Multi Volume 1
127
Multi Volume sets the overall volume for the selected Multi program. It affects all Instruments of the
Multi program, so if you would set Multi Volume to 0, you won´t hear anything.
Multi Volume is used to set several Multi programs to similar output levels, especially in live
situations. While recording in a studio, you should set Multi Volume to 127 to get the highest
possible Signal-to-Noise ratio.
Multi Tempo 40…300
[Multi Tempo 120]
Multi Tempo sets the global tempo for all instruments in the selected Multi program. It affects all
arpeggiators and all LFO that are set to clocked. Please read the chapter “The Tempo” on page 124
for further information.
The Multi Tempo parameter is controlled by the Tempo dial in the Amp/FX/Arp. section, so it
doesn’t need to have an entry in the Multi parameter pages.
