Chapter 17: Program and FX Q-LINK Controllers
By using the Q-LINK sliders and knobs, you can control both Program and Effect parameters with the controllers.
Program Q-LINK programming
Certain pad parameters (filter, tune, etc…) can be controlled with a slider or knob. There are two ways (NOTE ON and
REALTIME) for controlling the sound by Q-LINK.
NOTE ON
The sound will be affected to the position of Q-LINK slider/knobs at the point the Pad is hit. But the sound will not be affected by
changing the Q-LINK slider/ knobs after hitting the pad.
REALTIME
You can change the sound during playing back by changing the Q-LINK slider/knob.
Alternatively, Q-LINK controllers can be set to send MIDI controllers to external devices.
In this section, you will learn how to set the Q-LINK sliders or knobs. This is done in Q-LINK mode, which can be
accessed by pressing the [MODE] button and then the [PAD 1] (Q-LINK) button.
Configuring the Q-LINK Sliders & Knobs
01. Press [MODE] + [PAD 1] to enter Q-LINK mode, and press [F1] (Prg Q) or [F2] (FX Q) to open the Q-LINK
page.
In case of F1 the screen shown to the right will be displayed. Each of the following settings for each Q-LINK is quickly displayed here.
MIDI CONTINUOUS CONTROLLER (#)
Displays which MIDI Continuous
Controller will be sent out when the
selected controller is moved
Pad (P)
Displays which pad the Q-LINK Controller is set to.
Parameter
Displays which parameter is to be edited with the selected Q-LINK
02. Select one of the Q-LINK controls.
When you move a Q-LINK controller, that controller will be highlighted. You can also
select a Q-LINK Control with the [CURSOR].
03. Press the [WINDOW] button.
This will open the Q-LINK EDIT window as shown on the right.
04. Select the 'Assign' field and select the pad you wish to assign the
selected Q-LINK to.
You can select the pad you wish to edit by hitting the desired pad, or scrolling with the
[DATA] wheel. The effect of the slider or knob will be applied to the selected pad. If
you do not wish to use the Q-LINK function for any pad, select OFF by turning the
[DATA] wheel.
05. In the 'Change' field, select the condition for changing the parameter.
