Selecting the Part that You want to
Sound (Keyboard Switch)
Here's how to select the parts whose patch, rhythm set or sample set
will sound. For each part, use the switch to specify whether that part
will be played from the keyboard; this is called the "keyboard
switch."

the cursor to the "KBD" area, and press [INC] to turn on the
keyboard switch for the part(s) you want to play.
When you play the keyboard, you'll hear the part(s) whose
keyboard switch you turned on. If all of the keyboard switches
are off, you'll hear the current part.

switch for all parts.

Selecting the Part Played by the Pads

Use the pad switch to select the part whose rhythm set or sample set
will be played by the pads.
1.

In the Live Play (Layer/Split) screen, use [CURSOR] to move
the cursor to the "SAM" or "RHY" field, and press [INC] to
turn on the pad switch for the part that you want to play
from the pads.
When you press the pads, you'll hear the part whose pad switch
is on.

"RHYTHM." If this is set to "PATCH," use [CURSOR] to move
the cursor to the patch type, and turn the VALUE dial or press
[INC] [DEC] to select "SAMPLE" or "RHYTHM."
