Storing Programs
After you have finished editing a program, you must store it if you intend to use it again. Any of the
microQ´s memory locations are available for this purpose. The type of program that is stored depends
on the page you were in before performing the Store function.
☞
To store a program:
1.
Choose the program type to store as follows:
•
If you want to store a
Sound
, select the
Play
page or any of the
Edit
menus.
•
If you want to store a
Multi
, select the
Multi
page.
•
If you want to store a
Drum Map
, select the
Drum Map Edit
menu.
2.
Press
Shift + Store
to activate the Store page.
3.
The display shows the Store page where you can select the destination and the program
name:
Store Sound to A051
01[Nimm Oel! T]
4.
Use the page dial to select the destination program. The default value is the currently
selected program but you may want to store your edits in a different location. In this case
the name of the chosen Sound Program is temporarily shown and you can choose to
overwrite the old sound or not.
5.
Optionally, edit the program name. First select the character to be modified via the first
value dial. Then change its setting via the second value dial. The program name can use up
to 16 characters.
6.
When the cursor is on the 16th character and you scroll it even further to the right, you will
come to a second page where you can change the category of the sound. It is strongly
recommended to select an appropriate category for your sound or to create a new
category. This helps you finding your sound later. You can get infos on how to search for a
Sound category in the chapter “Category Search” on page 30. This is how the display
looks:
Store Sound to A001
01[Pad ] <-category
7.
Press
Shift + Store
to store the Program to the selected location.
Whenever you store a program, the selected memory location is overwritten. Therefore, any
previously stored program at this location will be erased and there is no way to get it back.
So, you should do backups of the sounds, multis and Drum Maps regularly. If you want to
restore the factory presets, you can download them as a Standard MIDI File from our website
http://www.waldorf-music.com.
You now have stored the program. When you activate the Store function, the Edit or Compare status
of the stored program is terminated.
By pressing any button before performing the last step, you can discard the Store process at any time.
Use the Store function also if you want to copy programs. There is no need to edit a program
before storing it.
