Well, the core question is how to change the controller # - I guess I was a
bit confused as to whether this was separately assignable per step.

Oh - yeah - I see. I'm finding the manual confusing.

"To access the aux function assign menu, hold the FUNC key and press the
step key function switch. If you are not already in 'cc'/aux upper nob mode,
pressing FUNC + step key function acts as a shortcut to it. The aux function
assign menu looks like this: ....
All controllers in the range 0 to 127 can be selected using the DATA knob.

In order to toggle between the midi cc and 'aux events' list, press the PAGE
key....

So, apparently, the red button is the 'step key function switch'? I searched
the entire pdf for a definition of the 'step key function switch' and
couldn't find one, so I assumed it was another way of saying the step
key...hence my confusion about selecting the controller per step.
Reinforcing my confusion was that I did achieve the aux function assign menu
doing it while under the sway of my delusion.

Well, thanks! I'm pressing forward, having a 3 day weekend, and I'm going to
learn this thing inside and out in that time if it kills me.

My only trepidation about this is that the manual isn't exactly a friendly
way to get started. Paul - when is your tutorial going to be ready :)
