Hi everyone!
I am not yet an MPC User but thinking about buying a MPC X. I have a question regarding the Q Links. Is it possible to map more than 16 parameters for a VST plugin on the Q Links and save it somehow, so that this mapping is used per default each time I use this VST insert effect?
What I would love to do is to "adept" my Maschine workflow, where I can have assign arbitrary many parameters to the 8 knobs and simply switch pages/banks to access all them. I can fully define which know on which page controls which parameter, which is a super flexible system.
E.g. if I have an VST EQ with 6 bands, each with 4 important parameters (frequency, gain, Q, type) I would need at least 24 controls/knobs to lay out all of them (probably even more for more global EQ settings etc.). On Maschine I can use 3 pages of controls and use every 4 knobs to control one EQ band fully. I can store this as the default settings and every time I load this EQ this configuration will be used.
This way I use a lot of my plugins and my muscle memory loves it
Can I achieve something like that on the MPC X or is it limited to 16 parameters per VST?
Currently I am testing it in the MPC Beats software but I can not figure out, how to achieve it. E.g. I have a waves R-EQ with 6 bands. The one Q-Link mode that comes closest to what I need it the Screen mode I guess? But as far as I see the parameters are fixed, I can not configure them and they are mapped very randomly. And I don't see how to access bands 4, 5 and 6 in there since I don't know if there is a way to access more parameters and if so, how to switch these Q-Link banks/pages.
It would be super helpful if you could give me more information about how to use them and how you utilize them in you workflows.
