example,let’seditthesetup58 Piano & Pad. The setup 58 Piano & Pad is a layered setup that uses
piano on Zone 1 and “pad” type synth sounds on Zones 2 and 3. Let’s assign a single Knob to control the
volumes of Zones 2 and 3, but we’ll setup our assignment so that Zone 3 is always quieter than Zone 2.
There are two methods of achieving this relative volume assignment, each sounds and behaves differently.
Try both methods because one may sound better than the other depending on the situation. Let’s go over
both methods and look at the advantages of each.

1. If you are not already in Setup mode, press the Exit button until you reach the ProgramMode page,
then press the Setup mode button, located with the mode buttons to the left of the display. This will
bring you to the Setup mode main page. Next, press 58 and then Enter on the alphanumeric pad to
select the setup 58 Piano & Pad (see below.) You can also select setups by using the - / + buttons or
Alpha Wheel.
2. Next, with the setup 58 Piano & Pad selected in setup mode, press the Edit button on the front
panel. This will bring you to the CH/PROG page of the setup editor (see below.)
3. From the CH/PROG page, press the CTRLS soft button on the bottom of the screen (see above.)
This brings you to the Controllers page where you can view and assign physical controllers to
destinations for the current Zone.
