Hi Nigel. It is extremely easy and convenient to setup banks of sounds for live performing via the Kronos "Set List" feature. It's particularly convenient with this instrument because the Kronos display screen is so large. I made a tutorial on youtube that explains it fully with a demonstration. Here is the link if you'd like to check it out.

P. S. I am going to add the new Roland FA–08 keyboard as a second keyboard. I had sold my Roland Fantom X keyboard to buy the Korg Kronos a few years ago. Now I want to get back those Roland sounds that I missed plus get them in a keyboard that is only 36 pounds. You might want to check out some of the YouTube demonstrations about this one also before buying your next keyboard. Just a thought.
