Hello and sorry for my bad english!
I've a question:
I love my MPC One + and i love the way i can assign Q-Links to my VST.
The VST that i use most, are Avenger 2, Serum 2 and Arturia stuff. I have an Minilab MK3, so all the Arturia stuff Is mapped on my keyboard.
The problem comes with Avenger and Serum:
I male a new program, load the VST and every time i have to remap Q-Links as i want.
Is there a way to save the configuration
that i've made so everytime i load Avenger 2 or Serum 2, i have the Q-Links mapped as i want?
This will be awesome, because i mapped a tons of parameters every time.
I've tried ti save the program preset, but it saves the sound but not the Q-Link configuration.
Thank you so much!

From what I've encountered generally - any mapping, MIDI or Q Links, gets saved in the project file. It won't save in program or sequence files (to my knowledge at least)

Thank you so much! So basically i can make a template with my VST mapping and load it as Default.
I'll try it ASAP!
Have a nice day and thank you again!

Just for a report, it worked way Better than i think.
I've mapped my Q-Links and save the current program as Avenger 2 .
Every time i load that program, Q-Links are there, mapped in the right way.
Really happy!

Track macros are saved with the track. Saving the track separately will allow them to be loaded into the same project (the name of the track will be automatically changed if there's a track with the same name already in the project) or another project.

The 2 project macros are saved with the project. It best to spend time make 1 or more project project templates that has everything like macros & track names & basically anything you don't want to consistently setup per project.

Thank you for this other approaches!
I'll do a template too. Now i've saved as program all the mappings for Avenger 2 and Serum 2.
Is cool that when you load a new project, simply load the program and all is working. And in MPC3 it loads quicker.
The super cool partiIs that i can map my other 12 controllers of the Minilab 3 insidie the plugins. A lot of control!
Easier than Live and super quick.
I badly need the MPC3 VST, so i can use the NI instruments that i've bought.
Thank you again for your time!

Cool. It took me a long time to setup my project temple. It was very tedious but worth it.
