Global Parameters
Global parameters are settings that influence the Q’s general response. They are valid for all programs
but might be overridden by other more specific settings. Global parameters are stored automatically
when you modify them, so you are not required to save them manually.
Global Menu
All Global parameters are located in the Global Menu. Press the Master section’s Global button and
select the respective pages with the Page Dial or by pressing the Global button again. The menu
parameters are changed with the corresponding knobs below the display. Some parameters are only
available for the Q Keyboard (like pedal settings).
Glb.Chnl.!SysEx ID
01 !000 (00)
Global MIDI Channel (Glb.Chnl.)
omni / 1…16
Sets the basic send and receive channel for the Q. This setting is valid for all Sound programs and for
Instruments of a Multi program whose Channel parameter is set to
global
. If
omni
is selected, the Q
sends on channel 1 and receives on all channels.
Please take special care when working in Multi Mode. In Multi Mode, the Q sends note data and
controller information on the channels set in the Instrument
Channel
parameter when the Instrument
Tx.Status
is set to another value than
off
. With this function, it is easily possible to send
up to 16
notes
at once when you’ve pressed only
one key
.
Please use
omni
only for test purposes where you want to check the basic MIDI send and
receive functionality. As soon as you know that the Q receives MIDI properly, set
Global
MIDI Channel
to any other value than
omni
.
SysEx ID
0…126
Defines the device identification number for system exclusive data transmission. The number in
brackets shows the current ID in hexadecimal number format.
System Exclusive data contains no MIDI channel information so this ID is used to distinguish between
several Qs, if you have more than one Waldorf Q in your setup.
Transmission will only be executed successfully if the sender and receiver are set to the same SysEx
ID. ID
127
is a so-called broadcast ID that addresses all connected Qs. The Q can receive
broadcasted Sysex data from other devices, but cannot send it itself. This function is limited to special
computer software.
���
The Operating System upgrades are stored with ID
127
so you don’t need to change the
Sysex
ID
on your Q when you want to upgrade it to a newer OS.
If you have only one Q, leave
Sysex ID
on
0
. There is no need at all to change this setting to
any other value.
After you bought your 128th Q please get in contact with Waldorf Electronics. You will
receive a personally ID number that authorize you to have a diner with our manager.
