Just got an X50. I wanted a lightweight all purpose synth for day to day rehearsals, and the X50 fits the bill nicely.

Read the manual and have looked through older posts but still can't answer this.

I want to set up a combi and have the B Knobs control volumes of different timbres. It seems like whatever I try, one knob always changes the volume of all timbres that have a volume knob assigned to it.

Steps I followed:

1) I enable each B knob for only one timbre and disable it for the others. Thus, each knob should affect only one timbre.

2) I assign CC #7 to each knob.

Seems to me that should do it, but every timbre is affected when I turn any volume knob.

I see in the manual there is a "hold balance" (if I'm remembering the term correctly) function, which seems like a likely culprit, except that I can't even find that function. (as an aside, I might use it in some circumstances if I could find it! It doesn't come up on any utility menu, as the manual says it should.) Moreover, I would think the default is "off," so if I haven't enabled it, it shouldn't be in play.

Thanks for any help.

you can control the volume of up to two timbres, unfortunately it doesn't work further than that.

for more info, see here:
Controling volume with Assignables in a Combi (on the TR section of this forum. The TR is almost identical to the X50).

Aha, one of them has to be set to volume, the other to expression. Well, it's not ideal, but it will have to do. Thanks.
