This is true. You can set all thezone stuff up ( globaly) in the master page
section, however these settings are notoutput with a patch dump.
Patch dumps only send single patch and multi patch settings, none of the master
stuff.

AFAIK The Matrix 12works the same way as the Xpander.Youcan assign
any number of voices ( up to 12 )toone of the 6 Zones.

I have owned a M12 for a long time. I find the modulation List a great thing,
but I don't see the detune as that much of an advantage, unless
you just gotta have a "Hover" type sound.
Often I have adjusted the detunes to what I think is a perfect sound, only to
reset them all to 0 once Iplay the soundwith a band or midi sequencecontext .
