Quick Start Guide

● Control Number settings

Here in the KN/CS display of the Master Edit mode, you can set how the Control knobs and sliders will affect each

Zone. This lets you specify a MIDI Control Change number for each knob and slider. In the example below, the

Control knobs for all Zones have been set to 10 (Pan), and the sliders have been set to 11 (Expression). In this way,

you can control the stereo position of each Zone with the appropriate knob, and use the sliders to adjust the relative

volume balance among the Zones.

This setting is available only when the Zone Switch is set to on from the Memory display in the Master Play mode.
