Re: [xl7] Perhaps a stupid question - which layer(s) do knobs control?

rtfm ;)

it depends on the patch. each of the 16 knobs can be assigned to any 
controller(s) on one or more layers, per patch.

you can have knob "A" controlling the cutoff for layer-1, LFO speed for 
layer-2, LFO-1 depth, LFO-2 speed & release time for layer-3, etc.

also note that "cutoff" and "res" will mostly do what you think they will 
when routed to "standard" filter types... a lot of the filters here are 
not standard.
