This feature allows you to select different parameters for the joystick. With utility mode ‘1’ selected, the display will

This is where you set the output routing for the selected PART. Using this function combined with the panning effect
you can setup four mono PARTS, each with its’ own independent output. As an example:
output = 1&2 / pan position = hard left
output = 1&2 / pan position = hard right
output = 3&4 / pan position = hard left
output = 3&4 / pan position = hard right
With utility mode ‘2’ selected, the display will alternate between:
UTILITY 1: JOYSTICK ASSIGN
UTILITY 2: OUTPUT ASSIGN
PART 1:
PART 2:
PART 3:
PART 4:
NOTE: When any PART chorus effect send level is set to 1 or above the chorused output will always appear from
outputs 1&2 regardless of the setting made in this mode.
