The MP8II includes the 4 real time control knobs, so you can regulate the keyboard’s EQ, effects and sound parameters, or send MIDI control change commands to external devices. The MP8II functions as a 4-zone controller keyboard. Each one zone can manage an internal or external zone, or both. Internal zones can be allocated to any key range, and many other parameters can be edited. Faders control a zone’s volume in real time. Settings and coursework for all four zones can be saved into any one of 256 User Setups for instant recall during a performance.
