Never used this - how does it work?

I've mapped parameters (cutoff etc.) to the Q-Links for live work through the front end - but this button seems to do nothing in that process, you press it and it lights up - no screen change or anything. :hmmm:

If anyone can direct me to a vid that explains this great! - but most of them just explain mapping through the software which I'm cool with.

It seems an idea not followed through (cue Nukai insults, bring back a standalone, yawn yawn etc.) Maybe it will get used eventually - because this software is starting to get awesome... roll-on 2.0

MPC Manual wrote:Q-Link Trigger: Hold this button down, then touch one of the Q-Link Knobs to make that knob's parameter's value jump to its minimum or maximum (depending on the Trig parameter in the software).


MPC Manual wrote:Hardware: To set the Q-Link Trigger button to cycle through the automation states for just the Program or globally, do the following:

1. Press Shift + Song/Other.
2. Press F1 (Prefs).
3. Use the Cursor Buttons to select the Auto button field
4. Use the Data Dial or -/+ buttons to set the field to Program or Global.

Im sure there is lots of cool stuff you can do with this feature. I would love to hear how people use this. Anyone have some cool setups for the qlink trigger?

I use it for recording tuning automation. I assign a qlink knob for tuning on a pad, press the q link trigger till it starts to flash, play the sequence and perform tuning tricks.
