Zone Basics

As noted in the Introduction chapter, the MP7SE features four zones: MAIN, SUB1, SUB2, and SUB3. This page will
explain the process for turning zones ON and OFF, adjusting zone volumes, and creating a simple two zone layer.
 Turning a zone ON or OFF
Press the button corresponding to the desired zone to turn that
zone ON or OFF.
The LED indicator for the pressed zone button will turn ON or
OFF to indicate the current status of the zone.
If a zone is turned OFF but then selected, a

 Adjusting the zone volume
Use the VOLUME fader above each zone button to adjust the
volume of that zone.
The volume of the zone will increase or decrease independently
of the other zones.
* When playing with just a single zone (e.g. MAIN), it is recommended to set
the volume fader to the maximum position and use the MASTER volume
fader to adjust the overal volume of the instrument.
To adjust the volume of all sound sections simultaneously, use
the MASTER VOLUME fader (page 12).
 Creating a simple two zone layer
First, turn the MAIN zone ON, then select a piano sound.
Next, turn the SUB1 zone ON, and select a strings sound.
Play the layered piano and strings sound, adjusting the MAIN
and SUB1 volume faders to set the level of each sound.

* When a zone is turned OFF, information for the previously selected (or
neighbouring) zone will be shown in the LCD display.
* When Receive Mode (page 110) is set to 'Multi', the MIDI input signal will
still trigger sounds even when a zone is turned OFF.
* When tonewheel organ mode is selected and the sound edit screen shown
in the LCD display, these VOLUME faders are used to adjust the drawbar
positions of the organ. For more information please refer to page 32.
