How do you, after assigning the qLink to a certain parameter, reset the qlink but with the adjusted parameter (for example amplitude) staying intact. So I can assign another parameter to that slider.
For example: I assigned amplitude from part 5 to slider Q5. And I made some recordings with the slider on a track for volume on part 5.
Now problem: -> When I set the Q5 slider to nothing. The recorded part is gone.
Can I change the "View: Q-LINK EVENT" to amplitude before assigning a different parameter to the Q5 slider? Or are we limited to only 6 controllers/ adjustments?

instead of using qlink's amplitude.

- use the modulation matrix in program mode to select a controller number as the modulation source and use the amplitude as the modulation destination for one, more or all notes

- assign the qlink send to that controllernumber.

- record controller data to the part's track

- done?? setup a new controller-destination pair in the modulation matrix.

- reset the qlink send to the new controllernumber

- record the new data

- ...etc etc..

I know :lol: :lol: I was just kidiin'

Come to think of it... Is it possible to change the volume of the individual tracks on the main page. I'm not talking about the volume levels on the mixer page now because those only control the volume levels of the programs contained in the multi. For example, lets say I create a program called "synth" and I put it on track 1 and copy a version of it on track 2 (for different fx purposes)... how can I can I control each track's volume level individually? Is that possible?

You can change the velocity off course (0 <-> 200 %) of each track. Is this what you mean?

I am wondering if you could change the volume of individual sequences? As some sequences are lower in volume than others. Changing all tracks seperate takes to much time. Is this possible in some way?

nah...I know about that velocity switch. All that does is lower the volume a bit, but even at 0 you can still hear sounds from that track. I'm talking about a way of being able to completely fade out / or in certain tracks in a mix similar to the way you can do this for the programs in mixer mode.
We already have solo and mute buttons for the tracks on the main page. How come there's isn't a volume fader for each track as well?

Am I missing something here?
