1. NAMES AND FUNCTIONS

1.1 FRONT PANEL

[FADER SECTION]

1. VOLUME Fader

The VOLUME fader controls the master volume level of the MP8II.

2. ZONE SELECT buttons

The ZONE SELECT buttons are used to select one of the four zones for editing. Only one zone can be selected at a time. The front panel setting represents the current zone status.

3. ON/OFF buttons

The ON/OFF buttons are used to turn zones ON/OFF. When the button is lit, the zone is active. Normally the button color is red, but when a zone is not using the full keyboard range the color will be green to indicate it.

4. FADERS (zone volume level control)

Each fader controls the volume level of a designated zone. When multiple zones are active, these faders can be used as an audio mixer.

[CONTROL KNOBS SECTION]

The four CONTROL KNOBS are multi-function real time controllers. The different functions can be selected using the four buttons to the left side of the CONTROL KNOBS. When a function is active, its button is lit. Touching any of these knobs will instantly change the display to the current knob function and value.

5. EFFECT button

When this button is lit, the CONTROL KNOBS will adjust the REVERB time, REVERB depth, EFX rate and EFX depth.
