Increment/decrement functions to work.
Question:
I see 5 knobs, 8 faders, 26 buttons, and 16 pads. Is that all I get?
Answer:
No. The PANDA200 features multiple banks of controllers and pads, which can
be accessed with the [PAD BANK] and [CONTROL BANK] buttons. This allows you to
access significantly more parameters than the amount of physical controllers. There are 3
control banks, which effectively give you 117 (3x39) controllers. There are also 4 different
pad banks which give you a total of 64 (4x16) pads.
