You may well already know this, but for thouse that don't I thought this was amazingly cool.
using qlink sequence, create step sequences of fx auto mation for any parameter such as delay feedback and time all with one qlink sequence, just set the destination to FX and then pick a parameter. I thought that was really very clever of akai designers.

You can do pretty cool stuff with the qlinkk sequencer. It gets super fly when you let one of the qlink sequences control the waveform selection on a third party synth/sampler. Possibilities are endless..

I see your point with cc's and a decent sythn architechure you could do some mad freaking stuff.

^ yup, although you could have always programmed that into the main sequencer too. The q-link sequence is great for doing this quick and is a nice live tool. For longer sequences, you can emulate this by step editing and inserting values.

I also REALLY like the feature on the 4000 that allows you to insert continuously-variable events. This allows you to easily recreate a smooth MIDI LFO, fade, etc without the stepping.

It took me a while to initially find that feature as it only comes up in step edit mode when over-dub is activated.

Page 49 in the reference manual. And then you gotta love the fun graphs the MPC draws in the graph display :lol:

Sooooo wait a sec

Let's say I want to do my own auto wah since the one in the efx
Section isn't that great. Do I jus assign qlinks to let's say a lfo
And qlinks to a filter cutoff and freak it like that with qlink sequences?? :?:
