MIDI Control – Channel Based MIDI Messages149 Waldorf Q User’s ManualMIDI ControlThis chapter describes the MIDI functions of the Waldorf Q.Channel Based MIDI MessagesIn Single Mode, the Q sends and receives channel based MIDI messages like Notes, Aftertouch,Pitchbend and Controllers on the selected Global MIDI Channel. If it is set to omni, the Q sendschannel based MIDI messages on channel 1 but receives them on any channel. All received channelbased MIDI messages are played back by the active Instrument or Layer.In Multi Mode, the Q can send and receive on all 16 MIDI Channels at once, depending on theInstrument settings of the current Multi program. When several Instruments are set to the same ranges,it is possible to send up to 16 notes and aftertouch messages when one key is pressed. However,Pitchbend, Modulation Wheel and Pedal messages are sent only once. Please read the section“Instrument Settings” on page 42 for details.Program Change MessagesQ Sound and Multi programs can be selected by MIDI Program Change messages together with MIDIBank Select messages.
