How do you change the qlink page in the software?
I’m guessing it’s just another crippled function.

Thought I had explained but it has disappeared along with an obnoxious reply.
in stand alone mode as you navigate a plugins gui or a midi program the qlinks represent whatever is on the screen, in screen mode.
The same applies if you use the software with any controller, even the original silver studio.
if your using a midi controller only however . The qlinks do not change to reflect the section of the gui you want to control, as an example look on a midi track in program edit, each. Set of 16 cc’s have a section or page number.
I’m sure I’ve seen it referred to as a page somewhere.

I take it you mean when using a generic MIDI controller where you've mapped it's dials to the Qlinks? If so I'm not aware of any way to change which set of Qlinks are currently assigned in 'screen' mode, you'll need an MPC controller for that and either use the touchscreen or the 'F' buttons on the Studio/Ren

I'm not sure I'd describe this as a crippled function though, as 'screen' is referring specifically to the screen currently visible on an MPC controller. But definitely worth making a feature request for it

Oh yes it’s another example of giving the user some cynically thought out control functions via the midi mapping or keyboard shortcuts , whilst keeping a few equally useful functions unavailable or crippled .

Another software only crippler.
Try getting the Locator popup to erm….. popup, in the software without a controller.
