hey guys, another question:

isn't it possible to assign a fixed q-link setting to a program?

f.e:
when i am on track1 (drums) and assign the q-link fader to pitch them and then i go to track2 (synth) the q-link fader setting is gone. i can't pitch the drumtrack1 until i go to track 1... ya know what i mean?

or another example: i am on track 1 (drums) and want to change the synthfilters from track2 (while i am on track1).

afaik the q-link settings are linked to fixed programs (in the q-link setting page) but what's the sense behind when you have allways go to the track where you have it assigned.

i know q-links from the 1 (2,5) and 4k mpcs and there it's the kind it should be. you can be on any track and your assigned q-links does always the things you adjusted.

or do i miss something?

thx!

Hi,

I see your point, this is also a big downside for me of MPC.
You always have to select the Track you want to use the q-link's for.
It would be nice that you could make a q-link set up that can incorporate parameters from different tracks so you don't have to switch between tracks.

it shouldn't be a big deal to program a kind of "sticky" q-link page =>add to the feature request list?
