This can be a Program, MIDI track, Audio Track, Return track, or even something on the Master. The “Source” parameter is whatever you’d like to affect inside in the MPC. This really opens up the performance possibilities of the MPC, especially when mapping things to the Global Mix Bus. (The MPC X already has four times the amount of Q-link knobs, though an extra controller certainly wouldn’t hurt!)Įven better, use a multi-port USB hub so that you can use several MIDI controllers at once, just like you would with a DAW-based setup.
Especially if you’re using the Live II or MPC One, using a MIDI controller to expedite your Q-link workflow is great.
