Description
Short story:
These configs which configure INC/DEC2 output from controller and set-up 'Relative 2's Compliment' in the software.
Akai MPD226 MpcQlinks.zip
Longer story:
The device has a factory default preset "MpcEssent" which has the 3 banks of 4 knobs configured to send 'normal CC' (ie range of 0-127). And there is a factory default midi mapping in MPC Desktop to match.
This is definitely sub-optimal, moving the knobs any of the banks cause the Sample Editor/Chop mode to infer a start/stop position with a resolution of 128 steps, ie it impossible to finely adjust. This is seen as all the rows moving together.
The newer configs (above) changes the mode of the knobs to "Inc/Dec2" which means that each knob sends value '1' when turned clockwise and '127' when turned anti-clock.
Once the matching Midi-learn template is enabled in MPC Desktop, the user can use the Ctrl Bank to switch between the Q-Link rows in the software.
- Bank A - slow 1x movement
- Bank B - medium 10x movement
- Bank C - Fast 100x movement
