Z6S BASS [BEADGC] TUNING. WAS: ZTAR USERS??? questions

Hi, Harvey and all,

Thanks for the input.  I'm having difficulty in following what seems to 
be extremely simple instructions.  For example, Harvey:  You directed me 
to FRETBOARD/TUNINGS/PRESET.

  I have difficulty even getting to FRETBOARD.  I turn on the Z6S and I 
have [1]GUITARS, [2]CHORDS, [3]GUITA03, [4] GUITA04, ... through 
[8]GUITA08.  No sign of FRETBOARD anywhere.  However you've mentioned in 
the material [manuals] and elsewhere that EDIT is the start of so many 
processes so I press EDIT.  And sure enough:  I find FRETBOARD on button 5.

  So I press FRETBOARD and look for TUNINGS, and it's nowhere to be 
seen.  However TUNE/TRANS shows on key 5.  So I press key 5.  Now I see 
TUNING on key 3.

I press TUNING and get MAP 1 on button 1; TUNINGS on button 2; PRESETS 
on button 3 and EDIT on button 4.  So that appears to be the "... button 
to the right of
the word 'Preset' and scroll to the 6-stringBass tuning..." that you 
mentioned.  However I must not be at the right place because I can't 
find any 6 string bass tuning.  On this screen I can see maps 1 through 
map 8 and the notes for every fret from zero [open] through 24 and I 
can't find anything resembling BEADGC.  Of course only the OPEN, 12 fret 
and 24 fret would give this sequence.

So where did I fall off the wagon?  Is there some way I can actually 
follow " FRETBOARD/TUNINGS/PRESET" that you mention?  I have done a 
factory reset...

Oh, and I reversed the 6 pin plug where the pad trigger cable connects 
to the main board and now the notes play in the right order.  However 
the high E still doesn't function so I'll be checking that out.

And:  Anyone else who would care to take pity upon me is gratefully 
welcomed to chime in...

Thanks,
James
