Reading the forums, I think I have the basics, I'm assigning my
mandalas is battery, and clumisily being able to assign one zone per
cell through the vb. I'm confused about control burst, I thought one
pad goes on one channel, and another pad on another channel. I'm not
losing the mandalas in battery like the previous post, but the signal
isn't so great. Can some one explain control burst? It doesnt give me
the options of assigning notes, I have the latest version. Right now
I'm just assinging note ranges in the battery cells, to match the
zones in the vb. Ultimately I just want to use battery with audio
kontrol.

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.
