switch groups.
MEMO
Kbd Sw Group (keyboard switch group) lets you handle a
combination of the on/o status for each zone’s ZONE INT/EXT
button as one of 16 keyboard switch groups. By switching groups,
you can instantly switch between dierent sounds played from
the keyboard using multiple zones, while leaving the scene itself
unchanged.

group’s icon shows the on/o status of each zone.

group that you want to edit.
