Chapter 8 : Q-Link slider
By using the Q-Link sliders, you can control certain pad parameters (filter, tune, etc…) with a slider.
When you hit a pad which has a Q-Link slider function assigned, the information of the slider position will be sent to
the sampler section as note variation data. The note variation data converts the parameters value to slider position
data, before the pad’s sample is played back. For example, when you select TUNE as a parameter, moving the
slider sends out the tune’s note variation data to the pad and changes the sample’s tune.
In this section, you will learn how to set the
Q-Link sliders. This is done in the SLIDER mode,
which can be accessed by pressing the [MODE]
key and then the [PAD 1](SLIDER) key.
The SLIDER mode has 2 pages, [ F1] (Q1) and
[ F2] (Q2), and you can set the Q-Link slider 1
and 2 separately.
Setting the slider
01. In the Assign pad field, select the pad to which you wish to assign the slider.
You can select the pad directly by hitting it. The effect of the slider will be applied only to the selected pad. If
you do not wish to use the Q-Link slider function for any pad, select OFF by turning the DATA wheel.
02. In the Parameter field, select the type of the parameter you are going to make changes.
TUNE This controls the sample’s pitch.
FILTER This controls the filter’s cutoff frequency.
LAYER This switches layers.
ATTACK This controls the attack time of the Amp Envelope.
DECAY This controls the decay time of the Amp Envelope.
03. The High range field and Low range field set the upper and lower limit of the slider.
The value of the controlled parameter is determined by the value set here. The value depends on the type of
the parameter selected in the Parameter field.
TUNE (-120 to +120) This controls the sample’s pitch (10 equals a semitone).
FILTER (-50 to +50) This offsets the cut off frequency of the currently selected filter.
LAYER (0 to127) This value switches layers instead of Velocity.
ATTACK (0 to 100) The attack time of the envelope will be replaced with this value.
DECAY (0 to 100) The decay time of the envelope will be replaced with this value.
Recording the slider value in a sequence
If you use the Q-Link slider while recording, the note variation data will be recorded with the pad event.
You can play back the sequence exactly the same as when you played during the recording.
AFTER key
Changes the effect of the Q-Link slider, allowing you to control previously recorded note variation data during
playback (after being recorded.).
If you move the Q-Link slider while playing back a sequence with note variation when the [AFTER] key is OFF
(the LED is turned off), the pad’s note variation is played back as recorded. If you hit the pad during the
playback, the pad that you hit will have the effect of the Q-Link slider.
If you move the Q-Link slider while playing back the sequence with note variation when the [AFTER] key is ON
(the LED is lit), the note variation value will be replaced with the current position of the Q-Link slider.
