Chapter 8 : Q-Link slider
By using the Q-Link sliders, you can control
certain pad parameters (filter, tune, etc...)
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 at the point the Pad
is hit. But the sound will not be affected by
changing the Q-Link sliders after hitting the
pad. REALTIME, you can change the sound
during playing back by changing the Q-LINK
slider.
In this section, you will learn how to set the Q-Link sliders.
This is done in the SLIDER mode, which can be accessed by
pressing the [MODE] key and then the [PAD 1] (SLIDER)
key. The SLIDER mode has 2 pages, [F1] (Q1) and [F2] (Q2)
, and you can set the Q-Link slider 1 and 2 separately.

Setting the slider

01. In the Assign pad field, select the pad to which you
wish to assign Q-Link by hitting it.
The effect of the slider will be applied to the se-
lected pad. If you do not wish to use the Q-Link
function for any pad, select OFF by turning the
DATA wheel.
02. In the Change field, select the condition for changing
the parameter.
NOTE ON : The setting value of the Q-LINK
slider at hitting the pad affects to
the sound. If you change the Q-
LINK slider while the sound is
playing back, the sound will not be
changed. The information of the
slider position will be sent to the
sampler section as Note Variation
data The Note Variation data is in-
cluded in the Pad Event and con-
verts the specific parameter value
to slider position data. For example,
MPC1000 v2 Operator's Manual rev 1.0
when you select TUNE as a param-
eter, by moving the slider, you can
affect the sample tune.
REAL TIME : If you change the Q-LINK slider
while the sound is playing backs, the
sound will be changed. When REAL
TIME is selected, the information of
Q-LINK slider is recorded as a Q-
LINK event , not as Note Variation
data.
03. In the Parameter field, select the parameter you wish
to control.
