Hey up,

Not sure if I have put some strange setting on but my qlink control has completely gone.

If I am editing a plugin i get no control over parameters through qlinks. If I press the qlink button to switch to the next set of parameters its just not there. The red outline showing what is being controlled has just completely gone/disappeared - there is no red outline at all.

If I move the q-links wherever I am, as far as i can tell its only altering the channel volume maybe or whatever is the main q-link control.

Anyone have any ideas or experience of this?

Hold down the Q-LINK button until the Q-Link pop up appears. At the bottom of the page you'll see the various 'modes'. The default is 'SCREEN' - make sure this is highlighted (it sounds like you've set it to 'PROJECT' at some point). 'Screen mode' is the one that will automatically map the Q-links to whatever parameters are on the current screen.

Oh wow, yes that worked, thankyou so much!
I have bought an expansion to say thankyou.
