Specifying the Kit Switching Order (KIT CHAIN)
The kit chain function lets you specify the order in which kits will be switched. This is very useful in a live performance so you
can step through the kits in the desired order by pressing the [-] [+] buttons, a footswitch or by hitting an external pad set to
operate as a switch (p. 57).
The SPD-SX lets you store eight sets of patch chains, called banks (A–H). Each bank can have 20 steps.
