Hi,
I just got an MAQ 16/3 for what I thought was an excellent price.
I can't really afford it, but it was too good to miss!
I'm going to use it to drive some multimbral synths (Kawai K1) & my Mini
system's filter and so on and eventually when I build my bigger system,
that too.


The unit doesn't arrive till next week, but I already have questions.

The manual is pretty thin in some areas for such a complex device so 
I was hoping there might be an alternative manual somewhere or a forum 
(this one?!) that can help.   I did find an MAQ 16/3 forum elsewhere but it 
appears to be dead.

My question is about the presets -  apparently there is 30 of them.
I want to know if the presets can be accessed via MIDI or not. 

I was planning on building a few presets and storing them in the MAQ 
and then sending commands from Logic to change them at will.   Is this 
possible?  I know the MAQ has a lot of MIDI control functions but this 
one isn't listed in the manual, or at least I cannot see it.

Also, does someone know if there's a Logic Environment for one of these?
It would be very useful if there were....

BTW, if Roel is reading this, I lost his email address!

hi rachel, it is possible. you can do it through midi program change.

to get single 16th note rests or 16th note values, go to the PA and 
PR fields in the event menu while in stop mode, they are all the way 
right to end. once you get there you can choose between PA 1 to 5 or 
PR 1 to 5. the NA and NR fields are constant 16th notes being output 
by each channel. there is no way to tie notes on the MAQ, what a 
pity, it's ok none of the other ...werk boxes tie notes either,so 
you're not excluded from such a function. in this mode you can turn 
each step on or off depending where you turn the step knob to. all 
the way to the right turns the step off. anywhere to the left of the 
first note on sets the note on and the midi or cv value according to 
the octave ratio you have set it to. this is really hard to decipher 
from the shitty manual that comes with the unit. most people i have 
known that have MAQ's did not know about this feature. hope this 
helps.
cheers and good luck, 
RM
