Output: (L/R, L, R, 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 1–8, MULTI) The output of each Zone can be fed
to the MAIN OUT, an individual left or right MAIN OUT, a pair of individual outputs (if
IB-48P/IB-4ADT installed), or a single individual output (if IB-48P/IB-4ADT installed).
When the parameter is set to "MULTI," if the Program is assigned to a Part in the cur-
rently-selected Multi, the Zone's output is fed to the output specified in that Part.
19 Press "ZnTUNE."
The ZnTUNE page appears, as shown below.
20 Select the parameters and set them as required.
Tune:
This allows you to tune each Zone in semitone and cent steps.
Pitch:
(TRACK, CONST) This determines how each Zone responds to pitch changes.
When set to "TRACK," the pitch tracks the keyboard (i.e., the note played determines the
pitch). When set to "CONST," the pitch is constant regardless of the note played.
Playback:
(ONE SHOT, NO LOOP, LOOP, AS SAMPL) This determines the Play
mode of each Zone. When set to "ONE SHOT," Note On messages cause Samples to play
to their end regardless of any Note Off messages. When set "NO LOOP," the Sample
plays without looping for as long as the key is pressed. When set to "LOOP," Sample
playback is looped while the key is pressed. When set to "AS SAMPL," Samples play
according to their own Play mode setting.
Press "ZnMOD."

The ZnMOD page appears, as shown below.

Filter: This allows you to offset the Filter cutoff frequency for each Zone.
Start: This determines the amount by which the Sample Start point is offset via velocity.
The offset can be controlled not only by velocity but by Control Change too.
Range: These two settings determine the velocity range of MIDI notes that will play the
Zone.
Pressing the WINDOW button while the "Range" parameter is selected opens the Zone
X-fade window, shown below, which is used to configure crossfading between Zones.
