I just started really getting into recording real time effects with the Q-Link sliders but I've been having some issue's with them. First when I record a pan from left to right etc. and then play it back it's sounds fine. But when it switches to the next sequence the instrument that was panned stays panned to one side. (and yes..I make sure to turn the sliders off when i'm done recording). Also when I do a cuttoff effect it jumps the fader effect around. So instead of a clear wash it jerks it in the fisr bar. Does anybody else have these problems?

Hi!

pan: the next sequence where the sound stays panned on one side got no recorded pan information, so when the first sequence ends with the sound panned it will be panned in the next sequence. you have to record a pan
event which ends in center at the beginning of the 2nd sequence.if you cant do that slider movement fast enough, record it, go to step edit, take the first pan event, set it to :MID(if you want the sound centered) and move it to 001.01.00. erase the other events.

cutoff: similar problem. try to record your slider movement again and try to end where you started your movement.it helps to check the events in
step edit mode. there you can select the cutoff events to be the only events beeing listed.
if you got big differences in cutoff values from one step to another
you can smooth them or just select them all (shift + datawheel) to delete them and record the movement again "on a blank sheet"
