Step Sequencer – Editing Sequence Patterns
Waldorf Q User’s Manual 48
Deselecting all Steps
To prevent that the sequence pattern is accidentally changed, you should deselect all steps after
you’re done with the modifications you’ve wanted to do.
☞
To deselect all selected steps:
• Press
Bank Select
briefly.
Programming Notes or Chords
As soon as you select at least one step, the step sequencer is ready to record notes or chords that you
program over the keyboard. Each sequence pattern can hold up to 256 notes, each step up to 8 notes.
E.g., one step can play a chord of 8 notes while the next step only plays 1 note.
☞
To program a note or chord:
1. Select any number of steps.
2. Play the note or chord on the keyboard.
As soon as you program a step, the step sequencer automatically advances to the next step. This is
also true when more than one step is selected, all steps are advanced by one and you can program
the following set of steps.
If only one bank is selected, the step bank is also advanced when you program a note or chord. This
gives you the ability to program a whole sequence pattern in one run without selecting individual
steps or banks. However, if more than one bank is selected, the step banks aren’t advanced although
the selected steps are still advanced in the selected bank.

It is a handy feature to program more than one step at a time, e.g. when you want to program a
Bass Drum into a 1/16th sequence pattern. Just select all four step banks and select the steps 1
and 5. Now hit one note and the sequence pattern is programmed.

When you want to program a 1/16th HiHat pattern, just perform the same selection as above
but play four notes with different velocities in sequence.
Programming a Pause
A sequence pattern doesn’t need to play notes on all steps but can have pauses between some notes
or chords.
☞
To program a Pause:
1. Select any number of steps.
2. Press
Pause
.
���
Programming a Pause in fact deletes all notes of the selected steps. There is no specific “delete
notes” function because the Pause function is meant to do this task.
