Hi all, I just received my Q rack the other day. I'm very impressed with the sounds this unit can produce (fucking insane),,,,,,,but there is one problem. If you have looked at the specs you would
know that it is 16 part multi right. Well yes and no. Yes*if your using it's on board sequencer (32 steps) / No*if your using an external seq. (my Rm1x 1920 steps). I guess when it is synched to
midi clock it can only play on 1 channel-which Fucking sucks for me. Kills my whole pattern / sequencing process. Because of this I'm not even sure if I want to keep it now and the problem is I
ordered it from everybody's favorite Krauts (musicians gear) who I don't think except returns. Fun,fun fun. So all you Access users out their, All your parts sync to midi clock and play back (yes). If so when is the Indigo supposed to be released again.

I'm not sure I'm following you here in this gripe, or the Waldorf response. I have no problems whatsoever sync'ing things in the Q to an external time source. What are you trying to sync? I don't follow. Your internal sequences on various channels with various instruments? Arpeggiators? LFO's? I'm having no issues with that stuff. As for the multitimbrality issue, I don't see the problem either. It's 16 part through and through. It just takes a little figuring out. When I need to sync things, I set it to sync external on each individual sound, and set the global clock mode to run on auto, i.e. responding to external clock signal if present, and internal, if not. It's something you have to save into the sounds, cuz they'll default to something else, otherwise. Hope this helps.

I think I have it? Say you have a sequence saved in the Q.You can play that via midi and will sync. But it is when you want to play sixteen sequences and have them all sync up to midi.It will only play one sequence. There is not a problem if you want to use the Q as a master, at least thats what I found out in my whole two days of owning the Q and talking to the man at waldorf. Does anyone know if it possible to reintialize the Q?

So it's multi + multi mode then inst. 1
through whatever. How fun. I just
figured it out earlier this week. It
would be nice if it was in the manual.
Pongoid, I don't know why Waldorf told
me what they did, but I sure felt prurty
damn stupid when I couldn't find how to
set up my tracks on the Q

Ain't no thang, dude. I still haven't fully got the Vocoder sussed out, and am still trying to fine tune drum maps and get effects settings to where I want them. It's not an easy or perfect unit, but it is cool, and the sense of reward when you conquer the obstacle in the bastard is great.

So I just made a rock'n pattern on my little yellow friend and I don't have the slightest idea on how to save my multi set up. Pongoid are you on line at the moment? It would be so utterly
awesome if you were. I tried with multi + multi mode on hitting shift then the sound/store button after that a blinking mutli menu appeared, so I put a name in it. Does this mean I saved my set
up? I really don't want to turn it off then turn it on again and realize the I fucked up. Jew know?!

It's 16 part when using an external seq and 16 part when using the internal seq. From Waldorf's reply to my question I thought it was only 16 part when using it's internal (mix up

. I just got a new
reply saying that the internal is 1 channel only when using an external an the Q's internal and get this- because of my complaint ( which wasn't valid ) they will have the problem fixed with in the week. What an awesome company.
