Those controls are changing various parameters of whatever synth you're using and this is where things get really confusing. First, you should decide on one main synth. Then you map the controls to that synth. Right now, it's probably all wrong and if you change from say the Forte Dxi to Sampletank then you have to create a different mapping for that. That is not a problem though because that Akai has memory for lots of different maps.

Please understand though this is for the synths not for Biab or RB. The difference between PG products and other big name DAW's like Sonar, is Sonar has remote controller capability. That Akai has a built in map for Sonar, Cubase and others so you can control your mix and other parameters separate from the synth plugins. Plugins have their own mapping. That means for example someone can have their controller interface controlling Sonar and the Kontakt sampler at the same time. Once it's all set up it can be very slick.
