Sound Parameters – The Tempo

Waldorf Q User’s Manual 56

Envelopes are for modulations that occur once on each note. These generators are

assigned to parameters through the Modulation Matrix and influence these parameters to

alter a sound. In addition, the Modifier unit can process various mathematical operations

and functions on the modulation signals.

The Tempo

Tempo 40…300

The Tempo control is one of the most important parameters in all operation modes of the Q. It

controls the tempo of the Step Sequencer, the Arpeggiator, some Effect types and the LFO where

Clocked is activated.

In Multi Mode, Tempo controls the overall tempo of the current Multi affecting all Sounds that are

used in its Instruments.

These parameters are affected by Tempo:

• LFO 1…3 Speed, when the respective Clocked parameter is activated

• Effect type Delay, when its Tempo parameter is set to Internal

• The Arpeggiator

• The Step Sequencer

Clock Internal / Send / Auto / Auto-Thru

 The Clock parameter is located in the Global menu. You can also change the clock settings

by pressing the Shift button and turning the Tempo knob to the desired value.

Tempo goes hand in hand with the Clock parameter. It determines how the Q reacts on incoming

MIDI Clock messages and if it sends those. Depending on the setting of Clock, the actual sound

tempo is set as follows:

• Internal means that the Q doesn’t react on incoming MIDI Clock nor does it send MIDI

Clock. The Q only syncs to its own tempo base that is set by Tempo.

• Send means that the Q doesn’t react on incoming MIDI Clock but sends it as MIDI Clock

messages through its MIDI Out. Use this setting when you want to sync other devices to

the Q’s Tempo setting but never want to sync the Q to any other device.

• Auto means that the Q automatically syncs to incoming MIDI Clock if it is sent to it by an

external device like a sequencer or drum machine. If there is no MIDI Clock present, the

Q generates its internal tempo base and sends it as MIDI Clock messages through its MIDI

Out. This is the recommended setting that works in almost all situations.

Now, how does Auto really work? When you select a Sound or a Multi, the programmed

tempo is used as long as no MIDI Clock is received. As soon as the Q receives MIDI

Clock, the Tempo parameter is changed to match the incoming MIDI Clock. This tempo

is still valid when no MIDI Clock is received anymore. You can now change the Tempo

manually starting from the calculated value or perform the Recall function for the Sound

or Multi to get back to the stored tempo.

• Auto-Thru means that the Q automatically syncs to incoming MIDI Clock and always

sends out MIDI Clock, no matter if it received it or if it generated the tempo base itself.
