No mappings in this draft
Choose a hand movement source, then decide what it controls.
Connect your device to see live hand movement.
Performance preview
Preview your mappings with the pad, or connect your instrument.
Presets and templates
Inspect a prepared mapping, choose a channel, then load an editable copy.
Custom scales
Choose your own notes and name your scale. Select it in a MIDI note mapping, then set a root and note range. Custom scales play on double q Studio 2.5; your existing scales work as before.
The library is saved in this browser. Export a preset to share or back up its custom scales. Editing the library leaves existing mappings unchanged.
Saved on this computer
Separate from your five device slotsDevice slot contents
Connect to inspect saved mappings without activating them.Output adjustment
Fine-tune an output while listening to or watching your connected equipment.
Connect your double q to adjust its outputs.
Hand movement and playback are paused for this output while you adjust it.
Saved on your double q, for every preset. Reset returns the selected output to its default adjustment.
Firmware updates
Update your double q directly from this browser.
Keep USB connected, this tab visible and your computer awake until the update finishes. Device output stops when it enters update mode.
You can still install the firmware. Choose Update firmware to request DFU directly, or Already in DFU if the instrument is in update mode.
Connection details
Contains connection details and identification replies from this attempt. Nothing is uploaded automatically. The report is cleared when you reconnect or reload this page.
Output adjustment
A default correction is included for all 16 outputs. Previously saved adjustments are preserved; Reset uses the new default for the selected output.
Fine-tune each output from the Outputs page. Choose an output, use Lower or Raise while listening to your connected instrument, then Save.
Adjustments are stored on double q and work without the app. Existing mappings, custom scales and instrument templates remain available.
The installer keeps saved mappings and output adjustments. Each instrument keeps its own settings.
Custom scales and Waldorf Q
Create your own scales in Preset Library and select them in MIDI note mappings. Their notes are stored with each slot for standalone playing.
The Waldorf Q template includes prepared CC mappings and a documented parameter library. Filter cutoff, filter type and routing hold their last values when tracking stops.
Existing scales and saved mappings remain compatible. These features are included in Studio 2.7.
Movement mapping
Control MIDI CC, NRPN, notes, scales and Double Luck with hand movement. Includes spread, tilt and palm position.
Existing presets are preserved. If a preset uses unsupported inputs, choose replacement movement sources before applying it.
An update backup is kept in this browser before firmware is written.
Use the same browser and site address to continue an interrupted update. If the instrument no longer starts, it may need to be placed in update mode manually.
Browser support
Use desktop Chrome or Edge on HTTPS or localhost. Allow USB access when prompted. Windows requires a WinUSB driver for DFU; see Windows USB setup below.
The direct installer does not require the old firmware to identify itself or return its preset lists. It installs the bundled release and preserves memory outside the firmware area. Unsaved running changes are not restored, and unknown old preset formats may not be understood by the new firmware.
If DFU is not listed, choose Continue later, restart double q and try Update firmware again. A build without a working update command needs the device's hardware DFU procedure before choosing Already in DFU.
Mac USB connection
Use current desktop Chrome or Edge. No STM32 package or driver installation is needed on macOS.
Keep your Mac unlocked. If macOS asks to allow a USB accessory, choose Allow. It may ask again when double q switches to DFU. If it does not appear, reconnect the USB cable and check System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessories.
Close other apps or tabs using the instrument. If a hub is unreliable, connect directly to your Mac. Keep the lid open and this tab visible during installation.
If an update stops
The app keeps your backup in this browser. Reconnect USB, return to this same site and choose Continue interrupted update, then select the same double q in DFU.
If installation is verified but the instrument has not restarted, restart double q and choose Reconnect & finish. If it stays in DFU, choose Retry in update mode.
If a problem repeats, download the update report and share it with support. It contains update steps and browser details; your mappings and flash backup are not included. Nothing is uploaded automatically.
Windows USB setup
If DFU appears in the chooser but access is denied, first close other flashing apps and other tabs using the device, then retry.
If access is still denied, check the DFU driver using Zadig. This is a one-time Windows driver setup and may require administrator approval.
- Leave double q connected in DFU mode. In Zadig, choose Options → List All Devices.
- Select the DFU device and verify its USB ID is 0483 DF11. Change only this device’s driver; leave the normal MIDI and serial devices alone.
- Choose WinUSB, then Install Driver or Replace Driver. If WinUSB is already installed, check for another app holding the device or a computer policy blocking USB access.
- Close Zadig and select DFU again here. If Chrome needs restarting, return to this same site and browser profile, then choose Continue interrupted update. Keep the browser’s site data so it retains your backup.
If the instrument restarts into its normal mode before installation begins, use Continue later, reconnect and start the update again to enter DFU.
Windows driver setup and a complete update still need validation on the user’s computer. Zadig instructions · Chrome USB requirements
