How to use this document:  

This is a tutorial and assumes you are making the button pushes as it advances. By following the example setup, 
you will gain an insight into how the controllers work and how they can be assigned to your advantage. All 
possibilities could never be covered in a short guide but this should get you on your way. After going through this 
article feel free to experiment with other assignments. 
 
Background:  
Get your S90 ES DATA LIST booklet and refer to the CONTROL LIST on page 42: “VOICE CONTROL SET 
DESTINATIONS” and “ASSIGN A/B DESTINATIONS”. You will also want to refer to the EFFECT PARAMETER LIST 
(pages 27-35).
