Sorry it took so long to respond - but I had technical difficulties and browsing the forums was a bit too tedious - and I missed this
Anyway - where you find these settings depends on the keyboard. Sometimes even the patch thats selected.
Volume is pretty common to have a dedicated slider that controls this right on the keyboard - but not to be confused with an amplifiers volume, but I dont think the P80 is such a keyboard. Some keyboards have 'assignable' controllers - yup, assignable to a Midi CC message - there are 128 possible CC controllers btw (reverb ammount = CC#91, chorus ammount = CC#93 - according to the general midi spec - GS too I believe - are just a couple more examples)
Now expression is often a foot controlled thing - like a volume pedal.
Some patches may assign the mod wheel (if you have one) - it all depends - its what makes MIDI so versatile.
But - most keyboards can send and accept midi CC messages to emulate sliding those knobs and foot pedals - so we can record them in a sequencer.
The manual for the piano and gigstudio should be at your side at all times until you catch on to some of these things. I still to this day, refer to my manuals for some things - so even when your confortable - dont throw them manuals away.
Now Ive seen some simple reviews on the P80 (not ver detailed)
And it seems some midi functions have been overlooked/removed - as its not a dedicated controller - but a digital piano - theres maybe more difference than you realize?? but its a common mis-understanding too.
