Hey gang,
on the 2kXL you can use the slider to edit sample start/end points - is this possible on the 4k with the qlinks?

I found nothing in the manual or user guide but perhaps it's not a documented feature?

Many thanks!

Depends what version you are on... but in this video...



A cat posted in the comments to "hold the Active button while moving the left or right Q Link siders will move through the sample start & end points quickly also."

That "Cat" was me that commented on that youtube video. You can only use the Q-links to edit the start & end points by ho;ding the "Active button" and move the slider.

Hold down ACTIVE on Qlink 5 and cursor jumps to = START point, move the slider to edit value.

Hold down ACTIVE on Qlink 6 and cursor jumps to = END point, move the slider to edit value.

NOTE: If not held down the sliders do nothing.

ZOOM in/out with SHIFT + CURSOR BLOCK up/down.
