Q-Link Knobs - Akai MPC X User Manual

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 1–4).
Light LED: Although you can edit this parameter, it does not actually have a function on your MPC hardware.
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 (1–16) 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 (0–127).
High Range: This is the Q-Link knob's highest possible value (0–127).
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
hardware 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 (0–127 or C-2 to
G8). Touch Sense must be set to On for this to work.
