Akai MPC User Manual

225
• Low Range (Q-Link Knobs only): This is the Q-Link Knob's lowest possible value (0 to 127).
• High Range (Q-Link Knobs only): This is the Q-Link Knob's highest possible value (0 to 127).
• Touch Sense (Q-Link Knobs only): This activates or deactivates the Q-Link Knob's touch-
capacitive circuitry.
o When set to On, you can touch the Q-Link Knob to send a Note On message to the
software (this is how your MPC hardware normally works).
o When set to Off, the Q-Link Knob will not send any Note On messages; it will only send
CC messages when you turn it.
• Touch Note (Q-Link Knobs only): This is the MIDI note number the Q-Link Knob will send to
the software when you touch it (0–127 or C-2 to G8). Touch Sense must be set to On for this
to work.
• Type (buttons only): This determines whether the button will behave as a Momentary switch or
Toggle (latching) switch.
• Note (pads only): This is the MIDI note number the pad will send to the software when you
press it (0–127 or C-2 to G8).
• Bank (pads only): This is the pad bank the pad belongs to. If you check the Set All box, the
pad's messages and parameters will be identical across all eight banks.
• Velocity (pads only): T
his determines whether the pad will be velocity-sensitive (On) or not
(Off). When set to Off, pressing the pad will send a note at full-level (127) always.
• Aftertouch (pads only): This determines how the pad's aftertouch (pressure applied to the pad
after the initial press) behaves.
o When set to Off, the pad will not send any aftertouch messages.
o When set to Channel, if you press multiple pads that have this setting, the aftertouch
messages they send will be identical.
o When set to Poly, if you press multiple pads, the aftertouch message each pads sends
will be independent from the others'.
3. When you have set all of the parameters as desired, select another control or enter another mode.
Hardware: To edit a control:
1. Select a control by pressing it (pads, buttons) or moving it (Q-Link Knobs).
2. Use the Cursor Buttons to select the desired field, and use the Data Dial or -/+ buttons to set the
desired value or option. The available parameters (described above) depend on whether it is a Q-
Link Knob, pad, or the type of button.
3. When you have set all of the parameters as desired, select another control or enter another mode.
