should be a simple way to assign which volume slider a voice or input 
channel is associated with.  Again, with continued experimentation 
this morning, it continues to appear that each "voice" is 
specifically assigned to a slider, regardless of the input channel, 
note assignment, or any other variable.

Hmmm. That's interesting. I like the voice keying better than input 
keying. Can you actually connect your tom, cymbal, and snare voices 
into any input and still adjust them with the appropriate slider, 
subject to further control with the knob on each pad?  That's groovy. 
I wonder what happens with external samples. Does the user have to  
encode them with the proper identifier when downloading? Back to your 
problem, if no one is aware of the magic setting for assigning a 
voice to an alternate slider, maybe we should ask So Tanaka in Japan, 
or Yamahammer when he emerges from the pile on his desk after 
vacation. The pad knob would be compensation for hard wiring, but it 
would be nice to know.
