1. MAIN VOLUME knob
This adjusts the volume of the main L/R audio outputs, as
well as the volume of the headphone jack.
It does not affect any of the other audio outputs, including
S/P DIF, individual outputs 1-4, or the USB output.
2. Control Surface
The Control Surface is the set of 9 sliders, 8 knobs, and 16
switches to the left of the LCD screen. It looks like a mixer,
but can do a variety of things such as editing sounds,
controlling KARMA, and sending MIDI messages to
external devices. You can freely change back and forth
between the different functions without losing any of your
edits.

CONTROL ASSIGN buttons
As explained below, you can use the front panel CONTROL
ASSIGN buttons to switch between the various control
surface functions. You can also view and edit the control
surface settings on the LCD screen (P0– Control Surface
page in each mode).
TIMBRE/TRACK
TIMBRE/TRACK lets you use the control surface to adjust
the volume, pan, EQ, and send levels for OSC 1/2, EXi 1/2,
or the Drum Track in Program mode, the current
Multisample in Sample mode, and each of the 16 Timbres or
Tracks in Combi and Sequence modes.
The LEDs to the right of the switch show whether you're
currently editing Timbres (or Tracks) 1-8 or 9-16; press the
TIMBRE/TRACK button to toggle between the two.
