Setup and Connection – External InputWaldorf Q User’s Manual 18External InputThe Q offers a stereo External In jack C that can be used to feed an external signal into the mixersection. Therefore, the signal can be processed via the filters and the effects section in the same wayas the oscillators.w As the external signal is treated like any other sound source within the Q, it is necessary totrigger the Amplifier Envelope to get the signal passed through. To do so, notes must be sent tothe Q’s sound generation, either by playing on the keyboard, receiving MIDI notes or via theinternal step sequencer or arpeggiator. Please read the chapter “External In” in the “SoundParameters” section for further info.Switch Pedal InputsThe Q features two inputs for switch pedals. These switch pedals can be of any type, you can i.e. usefoot switches, sustain pedals etc. It also doesn’t matter if the pedal or switch is open or closed ineither pressed or non-pressed state. You can adjust the behavior of each pedal separately in theGlobal menu.The Switch Pedal Jack H on the Q is a stereophonic 1/4 inch phono jack. You can connect oneswitch pedal to it with a monophonic 1/4 inch phono plug or two switches using a stereophonic plug.If you do so, the plug has to be connected as follows:• Footswitch 1 is connected to the tip and the ground.• Footswitch 2 is connected to the ring and the ground.You can use an adapter that routes a stereo 1/4 inch phono plug to two mono 1/4 inch phono jacks.Control Pedal/CV Inputs (only Q Keyboard)The Q features two inputs for control pedals or control voltages.If a control pedal is used, a potentiometer of 47KOhms or higher is recommended. This covers almostany type of control pedal on the market. It doesn’t matter in which direction the control pedal works,this can be adjusted in the Global menu later.If CV is used, make sure to match these specifications:• Tip: CV in (internally connected to +5V by a 4K7 Resistor)• Ring: internally connected to +5V by a 4K7 Resistor.• Input Voltage Range: 0 to 5VIt doesn’t matter if the incoming CV is linear or logarithmic, this can be adjusted in the Global menuas well as the initial offset and the overall gain. |
