•
Low Range (Q-Link Knobs only): This is the Q-Link Knob's lowest possible value (0 to 127).
•
High Range (Q-Link Knobs only): This is the Q-Link Knob's highest possible value (0 to 127).
•
Touch Sense (Q-Link Knobs only): This activates or deactivates the Q-Link Knob's touch-
capacitive circuitry.
When set to On, you can touch the Q-Link Knob to send a Note On message to the
o
software (this is how your MPC hardware normally works).
When set to Off, the Q-Link Knob will not send any Note On messages; it will only send
o
CC messages when you turn it.
•
Touch Note (Q-Link Knobs only): This is the MIDI note number the Q-Link Knob will send to
the software when you touch it (0–127 or C-2 to G8). Touch Sense must be set to On for this
to work.
•
Type (buttons only): This determines whether the button will behave as a Momentary switch or
Toggle (latching) switch.
•
Note (pads only): This is the MIDI note number the pad will send to the software when you
press it (0–127 or C-2 to G8).
•
Bank (pads only): This is the pad bank the pad belongs to. If you check the Set All box, the
pad's messages and parameters will be identical across all eight banks.
•
Velocity (pads only): This determines whether the pad will be velocity-sensitive (On) or not
(Off). When set to Off, pressing the pad will send a note at full-level (127) always.
•
Aftertouch (pads only): This determines how the pad's aftertouch (pressure applied to the pad
after the initial press) behaves.
When set to Off, the pad will not send any aftertouch messages.
o
When set to Channel, if you press multiple pads that have this setting, the aftertouch
o
messages they send will be identical.
When set to Poly, if you press multiple pads, the aftertouch message each pads sends
o
will be independent from the others'.
3. When you have set all of the parameters as desired, select another control or enter another mode.
Hardware: To edit a control:
1. Select a control by pressing it (pads, buttons) or moving it (Q-Link Knobs).
2. Use the Cursor Buttons to select the desired field, and use the Data Dial or -/+ buttons to set the
desired value or option. The available parameters (described above) depend on whether it is a Q-
Link Knob, pad, or the type of button.
3. When you have set all of the parameters as desired, select another control or enter another mode.
