directly from the keyboard, or multitimbrally via MIDI.

Zone can be easily adjusted while playing by using the top row of knobs assignments, and each
Zone can be turned on or o by using the ZONE ON/OFF buttons above these knobs.
e bottom two rows of knob assignments control the Program parameters. Controller settings
