I have a question about Q Links + Submixes. On the MPC X, I mapped all 16 knobs to different effects using different submixes, but I can only set a pgm to one submix. Is it possible to chain submixes? I'm looking for a way to map and use all 16 knobs for realtime FX control without having to switch the submix routing during a live set. And if it turns out it's not possible to chain sub mixes, maybe there's a way to group multiple effects to assign them to a single knob?

There is a way on the Akai Force to map multiple parameters to one knob called "macro", but unfortunately it is not yet possible on the mpc..

That's a good feature. I'm sure I'll find a way. I found a workaround for the original goal, which was to map all 16 knobs to different effects, but assigning 4 inserts to the master and another 4 to the submixes, now there's 8 simultaneously available effects. And the other 8 can change parameters for those 8 inserts.
