When pressing any of the [KNOB CONTROL FUNCTION] buttons, the lamp(s) of the buttons will light according to the above
table and the status of the Knobs and Control Sliders (currently assigned functions and set values) is shown on the LCD display.
The appearance of the knob in the display indicates the actual control status of the knob. When a knob indication is black, the
control knob on the panel affects the sound. When an indication is white, moving the panel knob does not affect the sound, until
the current value is reached (after which the indication turns black, indicating normal control).
