Using The Knobs To Change The Sound - Yamaha montage6 Owner's Manual

Using the Knobs to change the sound

Knobs 1 – 8 let you adjust a variety of parameters for the current Performance or Part, such as effect depth, attack/release
characteristics, timbre, and others. The functions assigned to each Knob can be alternatively selected via the Knob Function
buttons, the Multi Part Control button, or the Assign buttons. There are basically two ways in which the sound can be controlled:
controlling the entire Performance or controlling the specific Part.

For controlling the entire Performance
Move the cursor to the desired Performance name from the Performance Play display. Or turn the PART [COMMON] button
on and operate Knobs 1 – 8.

For controlling the desired Part
Move the cursor to the desired Part name from the Performance Play display. Or turn on any of the Number A [1] – [8]
buttons and operate Knobs 1 – 8.
