Specifying the Range of Each Zone

play more complex combinations. By using the KEY RANGE

About unlit zones
If you play the keyboard when the ZONE INT/EXT button of the current
zone is unlit, only the current zone is heard regardless of the lit status
of other zones.
In this example, only ZONE 4 (the current zone) is heard when you play
the keyboard.
Normally, zones whose ZONE INT/EXT button is unlit do not respond
to your playing, and are used mainly to play MIDI messages from
a sequencer. If you want to hear the sound of such zones, you can
successively switch the current zone to each unlit zone and play the
keyboard to hear the sound of that zone.
Since the current zone is saved in the scene, take care to return the
current zone to its original setting before you save.
