The Akai MPK Mini mk3 has endless encoders and configurations for a number of popular DAWs, but does it integrate nicely with the MPC One?
Particularly, will the endless encoders map to e.g. the q-link's current state when twisting them, or will their remember their own local value instead? What I mean is, if I map a knob to a q-link on the MPC and then twist the q-link knob on the MPC One itself, will the knob on the mpk mini mk3 pick up from the q-link's new position/value, or will it jump back to the last value of the mpk mini knob's internal state instead?
Also, can you map the eight knobs on the mpk mini to e.g. page 2 and 3 of the q-link knobs on the MPC One? In other words, can I have the MPC One locked to page 1 of the q-link knobs and use the mpk mini to control pages 2 and 3 simultaneously as twisting a knob on the MPC One to alter a paramater on page 1, or will the mpk mini instead just map to the current active q-link page?
