Controllers
In addition to the sliders and control knobs, the pitch bend/

are heard when you play the keyboard. (If you’re using layered settings,
multiple zones are affected. If you’re not using layered settings, the
current zone is affected.)
5 The functions assigned to these general-purpose controllers can be
specified for the entire system or individually for each scene. A system
setting determines whether the system-wide settings or the individual
scene settings are used.
