I don’t know that the Q88 won’t work; I’d have to scan its manual to see what its capabilities are in that respect.
As for the M-Audio, it might depend on the model, since companies such as Alesis and M-Audio like to make different models with different numbers of features so they can offer them at different prices— simpler models at lower prices, and more full-featured models at higher prices.
I have a 61-key M-Audio Axiom controller with lots of buttons and knobs and sliders that could be mapped to CC messages for controlling either a sound module or a soft synth, but other M-Audio models are like the Q88— just the keyboard, two or three buttons, and a single slider.
