Tap the Learn button to turn Learn Mode on or off. When on, adjusting a control from your MPC touchscreen (in
standalone mode or controller mode) or MPC software (in controller mode) will immediately assign it to the currently
selected Q-Link knob.
This button is not available while in Screen Q-Link Edit Mode where the Q-Link knobs are unassignable.
To assign a function to a Q-Link knob in Learn Mode:
1. Tap Learn so the button is lit. (This will stop playback. Resuming playback will exit Learn Mode.)
2. Touch or turn the desired Q-Link knob.
3. In standalone mode, use the touchscreen to navigate to a slider, knob, or other control that you want to assign
to the Q-Link knob, and then adjust it. Or, in controller mode, adjust a control in the MPC software or from your
connected MPC hardware. The Q-Link knob will be able to control that parameter immediately.
To assign functions to other Q-Link knobs, repeat Steps 2–3.
To exit Learn Mode, tap Learn (or resume playback).

Scene, Pad Parameter, or Screen.
To turn Learn Mode on or off, tap Learn. (This button is not available while in Screen Q-Link Edit Mode where

window.
To enable or disable the Q-Link overlay, tap Show Q-Link Status When Touched at the bottom of the
window. A panel will appear on the right side of the touchscreen showing the available parameters being
controlled and their values.
