Basic Operation – Selecting Programs
Waldorf Q User’s Manual 26
In Single Mode, you can either select Drum Maps, Pattern or Sound Programs. These are selected
independently, which means that the Pattern is not changed when you select a different Sound and
vice versa. If you want to build a setup with a particular Sound or Drum Map and a related Pattern,
use the Multi Mode of the Q.
Multi Mode
The Multi Mode of the Q consists of 16 Instruments that can be mapped, layered or played
individually. For a deep explanation of the Multi Mode, read the chapter “Multi Mode” on page 38.
In Multi Mode, you can select Programs of any type, depending on the setting of the Pattern / Sound
/ Multi Button .
Selecting Programs with the Page Dial
With the Page Dial, you can select Multis in Multi Mode and Sounds in Single Mode. The setting of
the Pattern / Sound / Multi Button is not relevant.
☞ To select a Program with the Page Dial :
1. Make sure that the Play LED is lit. If not, press Play .
2. If you are in Single Mode (Multimode LED is off), press one of the Instrument buttons Inst.
1…Inst. 4 to select an Instrument that holds the Sound or Pattern. The LED above the
button lights up and the display content will change to show the current Sound for this
Instrument.
3. Use the Page Dial to select an appropriate Program. Turning the dial clockwise
increases the Program number, turning the dial counterclockwise decreases it.
When you are at the end of one Bank and turn the Page Dial further, you will jump to
the beginning of the next Bank and vice versa. The only exceptions are the first Program in
the first Bank and the last Program in the last Bank. The Bank names are:
Sound Bank A to C or X, if a Memory Card is inserted.
Drum Map bank D or E, if a Memory Card is inserted.
Multi Bank A and X, if a Memory Card is inserted.
4. The display shows the Program number in the top right corner and the name of the
selected Program (name may be different depending on the factory set in your Q).
