Unlike when using the general-purpose controllers, the changes that you

If you’re using the keyboard to play multiple layered tones, select the zone
that you want to edit as the current zone before you operate the knobs.
Depending on the tone type, the tone might consist of multiple partials, but
the changes you make using the knobs apply to the partial that is selected.
For details on how to select a partial and use the various TONE EDIT screens,
refer to “Editing a Tone” (p. 45).
