Pad and Q-Link Knob Controls
12. Q-Link Knobs: Use these touch-sensitive knobs to adjust various parameters and settings. The
knobs can control one column of parameters at a time. Use the Scroll Knob above them to change
which column or row of parameters they currently control.
In modes where the display shows a "4 x 4" array of
parameters, you will see an additional indicator on the
top or left side of the array, indicating the currently
controlled row/column.
The Q-Link Knobs control columns of parameters in
Main Mode, Program Edit Mode, Track View Mode,
Sample Edit Mode, and Step Sequence Mode.
The Q-Link Knobs control rows of parameters in
Program Mixer Mode and Track Mixer Mode.
13. Scroll Knob: Use this knob to change which column of parameters the Q-Link Knobs currently
control.
14. Q-Link Trigger: Hold this button down, then touch one of the Q-Link Knobs to make that knob's
parameter's value jump to its minimum or maximum (depending on the Trig parameter in the
software).
15. Pads: Use these pads to trigger drum hits or other samples in your software. The pads are velocity-
sensitive and pressure-sensitive, which makes them very responsive and intuitive to play. The pads
will light up different colors, depending on how hard you play them (ranging from yellow at a low
velocity to red at the highest velocity). To disable (or re-enable) these lights, press Pad Assign then
F6 (Velo Col).
If the selected field in the display is a number, you can press Numeric and use the pads as a
standard numeric keypad to enter a value. The numbers are printed in green above the pads.
16. Pad Bank Buttons: These 4 buttons switch among Pad Banks A–H (press and hold Shift to access
Banks E–H). Between these 8 banks with 16 pads per bank, you can access up to 128 MIDI events
using the pads.
