Saving The Set List (Write); Recording Your Performance - Korg XE20 Owner's Manual

Saving the set list (WRITE)

A set list contains saved settings such as style, tempo, keyboard
set and effect settings. Once you have customized the settings
for a style, we recommend that you save your settings as a set
list.

sound of the keyboard part, changing the octave and so
on.

to.
The bank will change in sequential order (A"B"C...J"A...)
with each press of the BANK/WRITE button.
