Hi Donny
Very nice of you to follow up. I posted the question on the Yamaha forum and subsequently found the answer for myself. I didn't realize that when you press assign(in the window) that a whole bunch of additional options open up. I didn't think to post back here.
I too think it works great.
Thank you
Good to hear Bernie ....yes the Live Knobs are a powerful feature for the player for sure,.....with the Now S970 I dont need to use a mixer anymore as I can control the LT Vol & Voc Mic Vol with ease independently 1&2
