Applying effects for whole programs and effects question

Hi there

I learnt that the manual is really helpful, but im a bit lost here

Is there a way to apply effects to a program instead of sample by sample?

I have this lead looping and what to be able to filter it at times as it can be quite repetitive - and normally in Ableton i would use a lowpass filter and with a knob 'sweep' down so only the low freq's can be heard

What filter should i use, and can i set one of the knobs to control that filter so i can sweep down the filter once in a while?

Thanks a lot

Or better, i just found the lowpass filter that you can apply under 'Program' - there's a 0-100 on the filter, and if i could assign one of the 8 knobs or 4 faders to control that 0-100 frequency thing it would be aweseome - anyone knows how to assign knobs/faders to parameters?

Sorry about my grammar, im scandinavian

Sorry im posting again - i figured out how to control the filter with the faders/knobs - but only when im in Q-Link mode. As soon as i go back to 'MAIN' i cant control the filter. Anyone knows how to just assign the Q-Link parameters to Cutoff even if im not in Q-Link mode?

Thank you all

I haven't found a way, you have to be on the program for the filter to apply. However you can use the q-link to control an effect and that doesn't matter what program you're on, it'll work on whatever sound the effect has been bussed to. Although obviously you need to sacrifice an effect and use the only buss output you have for that sound which sux.
