Select the second range parameter for the Q-Link control that you want to
11
configure, and use the JOG dial to set it, as shown in the example below.
You can assign MIDI Control Changes to the Q-Link controls on the MIDI page.
Press "MIDI."
12
The MIDI page appears, as shown below.
Select the "CTRL" parameter for the Q-Link control that you want to con-
13
figure, and then use the JOG dial to select a MIDI Control Change.
0–127 or OFF: Selects the MIDI Control Change that will be transmitted when the
Q-Link control is adjusted. No Control Change messages are transmitted when "OFF" is
selected.
Control Change messages are transmitted on the MIDI Channel assigned to the Part. See
"Assigning Programs to Parts" on page 69.
When a Q-Link control is assigned to control "ALL" (i.e., all Parts), Control Change
messages are transmitted on the MIDI Channel assigned to the "Multi select channel"
parameter on the Multi window.
When an FX processor is assigned to a Q-Link control, you can select the MIDI Channel
that is used to transmit the Control Change messages.
When Control Change messages recorded by a MIDI sequencer are played back and
received by the Z8, they are interpreted in accordance with the current ASSIGN and
CHANGE page settings. For example, suppose that Q-Link control 1 is assigned to the
Cutoff parameter of Part 1 and set as follows: "REPLACE" and "0>100." And then
Q-Link 1 control adjustments are recorded to a MIDI sequencer. If the REPLACE range
is set to "0>50" when the MIDI sequence is played back, the Cutoff parameter will open
only half way. Likewise, if the parameter assigned to Q-Link control 1 is changed from
Cutoff to Resonance, the Resonance parameter will be adjusted instead.
