Global Parameters – Global Menu127 Waldorf microQ User´s ManualGlobal ParametersGlobal parameters are settings that affect the microQ’s general response. They are valid for allprograms but might be overridden by other more specific settings. Global parameters are storedautomatically when you modify them, so you are not required to save them manually. The Global menu of the microQ Keyboard contains additional parameters.Global MenuAll Global parameters are located in the Global Menu. Press the Master section’s Global button andselect the various pages with the Page Dial or by pressing the Global button again. The menuparameters are changed with the corresponding knobs below the display.GlobalChn|SysEx ID01 !000 (00)Global Chn - Global MIDI Channel omni / 1…16Sets the basic send and receive channel for the microQ. This setting is valid for all Sound programsand for Instruments of a Multi program whose Channel parameter is set to global. If omni is selected,the microQ sends on channel 1 and receives on all channels. Please use omni only for test purposes if you wish to check the basic MIDI send and receivefunctionality. As soon as you know that the microQ receives MIDI properly, set Global MIDIChannel to any other value than omni.Sysex ID 0…126Defines the device identification number for system exclusive data transmission. The number inbrackets shows the current ID in hexadecimal number format.System Exclusive data contains no MIDI channel information so this ID is used to distinguish betweenseveral microQs, if you have more than one Waldorf microQ in your setup.Transmission will only be executed successfully if the sender and receiver are set to the same ID. ID127 is a so-called broadcast ID that addresses all connected microQs. The microQ can receive Sysexdata broadcast from other devices, but cannot send it itself. This function is limited to specialcomputer software. Operating System upgrades are stored with a Device ID of 127, so you don’t need to changethe Sysex ID on your microQ when you want to upgrade it to a newer OS. If you have only one microQ, leave Sysex ID on 0. There is no need at all to change thissetting to any other value. After you have bought your 128th microQ, please contact Waldorf-Music AG. You willreceive a personal device number that authorizes you to have dinner with our ManagingDirector.
