Has anyone got this to work? I know I asked already and didn't get any decent responce.. like yea, it works, or no, schyts don't work.. ya know. :) Again, I can get the volume levels to work with the q-link (I am turing the "record mix changes" option to "yes" but it ain't doing shiznits.

So what´s the best way to automate the volume and/ or the fx anyway ?
I couldn´t get any satisfying results neithér in the 1.22 OS nor in the
3.02 OS......

Hi, dablunt !!!!!

I´ll try myself too, lets look who´s first.
What I try is to automate the delay intensity.
For example in the beginning of a break, all will be muted but
some delay fills the "gap" by increasing the delay feedback....
you know what I mean?

i do know what cha mean yup.


when i used it last time i remember altering the cutoff / res.

i'll try and replicate that, plus the volume.

delay? or decay? as the 2500 doesnt have delay FX do it?

are you trying to trigger external midi gear here? because I dont think you can do that.

Im starting to sink a bit

There´s a little simple delay just right down on the
very bottom of the FX2 menu. You need to scroll down
a bit. there are some params like feedback etc.
that´s what I want to automate....

I just want to ajust the amount of effects that's being used with the q-link. Right in the mixer section where you can modulate the volume, you should be able to do it with the effects. I'm NOT talking about the MODE+PAD1 section, but the MODE+MIXER+FXSEND. Assign an effect to FX1 and make a quick beat. Go back into this area (MODE+MIXER+FXSEND) and you can adjust the effects with the q-link. Problem is that even when you enable mix changes, it doesn't do anything. This was simple to do on the 2000XL.

This shyt werks!! Not completely tho, typical 2500.

I had trouble finding this is the manwell, but page 92 sorts it out.

You load up Reverb in the FX.
Then you go to the MIXER.
Then highlight the PAD you wanna adjust.
Move Slider Q1 - hey presto.

But heres the bugger - I cant get it to record changes, even with the Record Mix Changes set to On. Maybe you can troubleshoot from here old bean.

G luck and have some #

Yeah, never using tried it before - could be good in your live use tho, if you have any.
Love Keep on Snipet btw. Thats a serious stunted break, was it a mistake or intentional?
