It's up to you how you want to set up the zones/midi channels.
I like to set up each pad to a single MIDI channel:
1. choose the mandala
2. choose the number of zones (i use 6)
3. set zone 1 to channel 1 and note 60 (which is C3, but it's up to
you which note you choose)
set zone 2 to channel 1 and note 61
set zone 3 to channel 1 and note 62
....
4. when you're done you may need to set up the position and velocity
controllers.
set the channels to the same channel as your note channels for each
pad,
Center Val to 0, edge val to 127, soft val to 0 and hard val to 127
to get the full controller range.
5. when you're done the pad meter should show the note, position and
velocity values when you hit the pad
6. "click to configure", and maybe save the settings.
this should work.
