Sound Parameters – Triggering of Voices

Waldorf Q User’s Manual 64

Triggering of Voices

As soon as a note is played, the Q triggers one or several voices. How this triggering is done is set by

the following parameters. You can find these parameters in the Sound edit menu.

Sound Edit-Menu

Mode | Unisono

Poly | Dual

Mode Poly / Mono

Controls if the Sound can be played polyphonically or monophonically.

• Poly means that each note triggers its own voice or voices like on a piano.

• Mono means that only the last played note sounds. All other notes are stored in an internal

list but aren’t played. As soon as you release the note that is currently played, the second

last note is played and so on. When you play legato, only the first note that was played

triggers the envelopes. All later notes use these envelopes but sound in the pitch you’ve

played. This mode is for sustained sounds like typical 70’s solo sounds.

 When Mono is selected and you have set up a decaying volume envelope for the selected

Sound, you might not hear anything after playing several notes because of the envelopes

decaying to 0.

Unisono Off / Dual / 3…6

Controls how many voices are triggered when a note is played.

• Off means that a note triggers one voice. This is the standard mode.

• Dual means that a note triggers two voices. Both voices have high priority so they can cut

off other voices that are played.

• 3…6 means that this number of voices is triggered when a note is played. Only the first

voice has high priority, meaning that it can cut off other played notes. The other voices can

only sound if any voices are free or if there are other unison voices with lower priority that

could be cut off. This ensures that older notes play at least one voice as long as the voice

allocation isn’t forced to steal even this voice for a new note.

Unisono Detune 000…031

Unisono Detune

012

Controls the detuning of the Unison voices. Each voice is detuned differently, with Unisono Detune,

you control the overall amount.

 Unisono Detune suits perfect for thickening the tone. Also Step Sequences and Arpeggios

profit from the detune function.
