In User mode, there are 6 pages of knob user assignments for 48 possible knob
assignments. Select a User Page from the screen, then map a knob using Lives
MIDI Map mode. Note that it is possible to map the screen buttons, but this is not
recommended as they are momentary switches. Make sure a User page is selected
before entering Lives MIDI Map mode to or you will be mapping the User button.
Power User Tip: These knobs have a velocity multiplier built in. The faster they are turned,
the more quickly they reach min or max.
