MIDI Control – Modifying / Editing Sounds over MIDI
Waldorf microQ User´s Manual
140
When the microQ receives an All Sound Off Message, it closes the amplifiers of all sounding voices
and stops the output of all effects immediately.
Reset All Controllers Message
When the microQ receives a Reset All Controllers Message, it resets all controllers mentioned above,
as well as Aftertouch, Poly Pressure and Pitchbend, to their default values (usually 0 except for
Pan=64, Volume=127, Pitchbend=64).
Modifying / Editing Sounds over MIDI
Controllers as Modulation Sources
The controllers mentioned above are always used as modulation sources. The freely definable Control
W…Z can also be used as modulation source. W…Z represent definable controller numbers 1…120.
Use these controllers in the Modifiers and the Modulation Matrix.
Changing Sound Parameters with Controllers
Every Sound parameter that has a control in the parameter matrix is assigned to a MIDI Controller
through which the parameter can be changed. If a parameter matrix control is turned, this change is
sent with the appropriate controller number over MIDI. With this feature, you can easily record matrix
parameter changes with a MIDI sequencer.
All controller messages are sent and received on the MIDI channel defined in the Global menu or, if
in Multi Mode, on the MIDI channel selected for the corresponding Instrument.
Please read the sections "Controller Send" and "Controller Recv" in the chapter "Global Menu" on
page 128 for further information.
Changing Sound Parameters with System Exclusive Data
All Sound parameters of the microQ can be controlled by system exclusive data.
Please read the sections "Controller Send" and "Controller Recv" in the chapter "Global Menu" on
page 128 for further information.
System Exclusive Data Transmission
System Exclusive data transmission lets you send and receive the contents of the microQ’s memory
via MIDI (dump).
Sending System Exclusive Data
When you activate the send functions, the microQ sends the contents of its memory to the MIDI Out
jack. Using a sequencer or a special sound editor program, you can record and archive this data.
