KME-61 Addendum

Additional features added in v2

Per Zone Controller Assignments:

When in Setup Mode, using the previous v1.xx software, all physical controllers, including the optional pedals, worked the same for all zones simultaneously and were always enabled. To improve live performance usefulness, Version 2 software allows controllers to be reassigned or turned off on a per-zone basis. This is accomplished by adding several parameters to the Setup Mode Menu which are described below.
