If you deactivate the compatibility button, some modulations will sound different.

Zone Presets
The preset controls allow you to create and manage zone presets.
Zone presets contain the settings that you apply to the different Zone Editor sections. They do not contain samples or change the zone type. You can set up a zone preset to make it easier to create several similar zones when importing samples. For example, for drum loops, you would use a preset with a high level setting and no headroom, for multi-sample zones, you would set up a headroom, because several notes are playing at the same time, etc.
