Q-Link Knobs
These are the MIDI parameters you can edit for each Q-Link
knob:
Control: This is the hardware control you are currently
editing (QLink 14).
Light LED: Although you can edit this parameter, it does
not actually have a function on MPC X.
When set to Never, the LEDs will always be off.
When set to MIDI Input, the LEDs will light up when
the software receives a MIDI message that matches
the Q-Link knob.
When set to Local, the LEDs will light up when you
touch or turn the Q-Link knob and/or MIDI input is
received.
MIDI Channel: This determines which MIDI channel (116) the Q-Link knob will use to send its message to the software.
CC Number: This determines what MIDI Control Change number the Q-Link knob will send to the software.
Mode: This determines how the Q-Link knob will control its parameter.
Absolute: The Q-Link knob’s current position determines its parameter’s value; moving it may cause its
parameter to “snap” to a new position if you’re using it to control different parameters in different modes.
Relative: Moving the Q-Link knob will increase or decrease its parameter regardless of its physical position.
Low Range: This is the Q-Link knob’s lowest possible value (0127).
High Range: This is the Q-Link knob’s highest possible value (0127).
Touch Sense: This activates or deactivates the Q-Link knob’s touch-capacitive circuitry.
On: You can touch the Q-Link knob to send a Note On message to the software (this is how your MPC X
normally works).
Off: The Q-Link knob will not send any Note On messages; it will only send CC messages when you turn it.
Note: This is the MIDI note number the Q-Link knob will send to the software when you touch it (0127 or C-2 to
G8). Touch Sense must be set to On for this to work.
XY Pad
These are the MIDI parameters you can edit for each axis of
the XY pad:
Control: This is the axis you are currently editing (XYFX
X-Axis or XYFX Y-Axis). This field will be hidden if you
tapped the XY tab to show the XY pad’s parameters.
You can tap the Hardware tab to show this field.
Mute: This button determines whether the axis is muted
or not. When muted, its MIDI output is disabled. You
must be viewing the Settings to do this.
MIDI Channel: This determines which MIDI channel (116)
the axis will use to send its message to the software.
CC Number: This determines what MIDI Control Change
number the axis will send to the software.
Low Range: This is the axis’s lowest possible value (0127).
High Range: This is the axis’s highest possible value (0127).
