Cycling through sounds live on a workstation

by Sam

I am looking into high level workstations (korg m3/roland xf8). iv been told that when switching sounds or 'combis' it takes a second to get from one program to the next (i wanted to use a pedal to cycle through my sounds). how does this work if you are playing live and want to switch sounds? is there any way to switch instantly?

ANSWER

Hi, Sam--

There should be a way to save the sounds that you want to use so that they are in consecutive banks. That way you don't have to cycle through several banks to get the next sound.
