Q-Link Section

Here, you can set the functionality of the Q-Link Knobs.
The Q-Link section can work in two modes: Program Mode (Pgm) and
FX Mode.
• Program Mode: The 16 Q-Link Knobs control specific Program
parameters of the selected Program.
• FX Mode: The 16 Q-Link Knobs can be assigned to the
parameters of used effects.
By switching between these two modes, you are able to define two
parameters for each knob. This offers maximum flexibility when
controlling parameters in real time.
