Global Controls

Global controls are controls that are not stored in a preset and therefore Pitch bend/Modulation wheels plus the Foot Switch fall in this 
category.

The 6 transport buttons in addition, are also global controls and assignments are stored over power cycling.

As you change presets or adjust your preset controls, global controls remain unchanged. This makes sense since Transport and keyboard 
controls typically are set up to do one thing specifically.
