Program and FX Q-LINK Controllers 182
If the [AFTER] button is ON, when you move the Q-LINK slider/knob, the new Q-LINK event will be recorded and will erase any
previous Q-LINK Events.
Sending MIDI Continuous Controllers with a Q-LINK
The twelve Q-LINK Controllers can also be used to send MIDI to external devices. To configure a Q-LINK to send MIDI
Continuous Controller messages, do the following:
01. In Q-LINK mode, select the desired Q-LINK Controller.
This can be done by moving the selected controller, or navigating to the desired Q-
LINK Controller with the [CURSOR] buttons.
02. Set the 'Assign' field to OFF.
This will allow the Q-LINK to act just as a MIDI control. When the 'Assign' field is set
to OFF, MIDI Continuous Controller Numbers from the selected controller will be
recorded to the current sequence.
03. Set the 'Ctrl' field to the desired MIDI CONTINUOUS
CONTROLLER NUMBER
When the Q-LINK is turned, the selected MIDI CONTINUOUS CONTROLLER NUMBER will be sent from the MIDI channel and port of the
current track. When recording, moving this Q-LINK will write MIDI Continuous Controller Numbers to the sequence.
