Sound Parameters – Modulation Speed Levels
57 Waldorf Q User’s Manual
This setting is only useful for special setups where you need to control a device through
the Q’s MIDI Out including sync, e.g., when you use the Q as a master keyboard in a live
performance where the Q itself is synced to a sequencer but needs to send MIDI Clock to
a hardware sequencer, too.
The recommended setting for Clock is Auto. This setting works in almost all situations. Please
read the description above for a detailed explanation of it.
Modulation Speed Levels
The Q offers three levels of modulation speeds, FM, Fast Modulation and Standard Modulation. This
separation assures a maximum flexibility in sound generation while keeping the amount of processor
power needed to calculate a voice as low as possible. You find separate descriptions how to access
the different modulation types in the chapters below. The three modulation speed levels are divided
as follows:
FM (Frequency Modulation)
This is the fastest modulation speed level. These calculations are performed for each generated
sample or, in other words, 48000 times per second (48kHz). Five modules of the Q’s sound
generation offer FM, the three oscillators and the two filters. When you browse the list of available
sources for this type of modulation, you will almost only find those sources that make sense to
modulate the destination with sample speed. This includes the oscillators, the audio input, noise, the
LFO, the envelopes and so on. You won’t find sources like modwheel or velocity, because their
values change incredibly slowly, compared to an oscillator playing at a pitch of i.e. 10kHz. The
following table shows all available FM Sources:
