Making settings for use as a master keyboard-Zone When you use the MODX as a master keyboard, you can divide the keyboard into a maximum of eight independent areas (called "Zones"). Different MIDI channels and different functions of the Knobs and Control Sliders can be assigned to each Zone. This makes it possible to control several Parts of the internal multi-timbral tone generator simultaneously by a single keyboard, or control Performances of an external MIDI instrument over several different channels in addition to the internal Performances of this synthesizer itself-letting you use the MODX to effectively do the work of several keyboards.

of the internal multi-timbral tone generator simultaneously by
a single keyboard, or control Performances of an external
MIDI instrument over several different channels in addition to
the internal Performances of this synthesizer itself—letting
you use the MODX to effectively do the work of several
keyboards. You can set the parameters related to the eight
Zones and store the settings.
