Q-Links assignment per sequence (migrating from mpc1000)

By soulgolem Wed Mar 30, 2022 4:24 pm
hi all !

new owner of an MPC Live II, although i've owned the MPC1000 for more than 15 years now, with JJ OS2XL.

somethings i'm trying to do while migrating my projects (can't figure out) :
it looks like the Q-Links can either be set per project, or per program..
i'd like to have them do different things based on the sequence because i'm using it this way :
one sequence -> one song
:: go to next sequence :: new Q-Links assignments.

can't we do that anymore ?

thanks.

These are your options, v 2.10.1 manual, pg 298.

Project: In this edit mode, the Q-Link knobs can control 16 parameters within the current project overall. See the
following Project section to learn about this specific Q-Link Edit Mode.

Program/Audio Track: In this edit mode, the Q-Link knobs can control 16 program or audio track parameters.
See the following Program/Audio Track section to learn about this specific Q-Link Edit Mode.

Pad Scene (for drum programs only): In this edit mode, the Q-Link knobs can control 16 parameters for the
currently selected pad. See the following Pad Scene section to learn about this specific Q-Link Edit Mode.
Pad Parameter: In this edit mode, the 16 Q-Link knobs correspond to the 16 pads, each one controlling the
same parameter for each pad. This is useful if you need to adjust the same parameter on multiple pads at once
rather than having to select and edit each pad individually. See the following Pad Parameter section to learn
about this specific Q-Link Edit Mode.

Screen: In this edit mode, the Q-Link knobs will control a parameter or group of parameters in your currently
selected mode (e.g., Main Mode, Sample Edit Mode, etc.).

Once you know the full capabilities of the gear you can get around almost anything. For sets on stage in a live setting, Akai Force might have been a better option for you.
