When going to edit in program mode, i want to use different adsr and filter settings for zones 1 2 & 3. For instance mid kick on zone 1, short release time fast attack. 808 sub kick on zone 2 with slow attack longer release and low pass filter.

How can this be done?

thx

The only way to have sep Adsr settings is to have 2 or more diff pads play the same midi note, or use keygroups that overlap. As far as filters go there's an offset (bipolar) for all 4 zones, not for lfos adsr or mod matrices. Edit all is for all params in a prog not for individual zones.

Facking LOVE this 4000. Wish I can put a 3000 and 4000 in the same box.

Yes he's correct there too, another way is to set as many prog you want to the same midi ch within a multi and use Int A or B for the particular sound / stack you're looking for. After the pad is how you like I would think about resampling if possible to cut down on voice usage, esp at 96k, which is where I like to keep my 4000. Nice and open sound at that rate. Love this 4000

then for example track1 out -> program A & program B
