i feel like the mpc-x is a bit too big for me, and the only thing (for me personally) that i'd want it for is the 16 qlinks. is there a controller out there that can be assigned to the 16 q-links? for what its worth i primarily work in controller mode using the software.

Yes you can midi learn/map with ease in controller mode . In standalone not all options are midi mappable.

I used a arturia beat step to get 16 qlinks in controller mode.

I thought that we can MIDI Learn whatever the Q-Links are controlling? NOT the actual Q-Link Movement.
