Basic Operation – Panic Function
Waldorf Q User’s Manual 24
Switching off: 8
After counting down to 0 the Q will switch off. If you release the Power button before, the
shutdown process is cancelled.
Panic Function
The Power button is also used to perform a Panic function. The Panic function sends and executes
an "All Notes Off" command to terminate stuck notes. Panic immediately sets all envelopes to their
release phases. Panic also stops the step sequencer and the arpeggiator playing when running in Hold
mode.
To activate this function, briefly press
Power
.
When holding Power a bit longer, all sound is suppressed and the release phases are cancelled.
System Volume
You can use the System Volume control to adjust the Q’s master volume. The volume setting is
global and affects the levels of all audio outputs including the digital output.
Demo Playback
The Q is equipped with several demo songs to show some of its unique features. They should give
you a quick overview of the Q’s sound character and the possibilities you can expect when you start
working with your Q. To listen to the songs in highest quality you should make sure that the Q is
connected stereophonically to a good amplifier/loudspeaker combination. Alternatively, you could
use good headphones.

The Demo Playback mode clears all edit buffers. If you should have made any changes to
existing programs that you would like to keep, you should store them now. However, stored
programs aren’t affected in any way.
