By using keyboard switch groups to collectively turn on/off the keyboard switch of multiple groups, you can switch multiple sounds in a single operation. This is convenient when you want to seamlessly switch between multiple sounds inside a Studio Set.
You can save up to 16 combinations of keyboard switches as keyboard switch groups, and use the pads to switch between them in a studio set.
You can also use the "Virtual Pad" setting to use the category/favorite buttons to switch the first 8 groups.
MEMO
Preset studio sets 65–69 contain keyboard switch groups for
you to try out.
