Is there any way to keep all the keygroups of an instrument selected so that changes I make to the Amp Envelope effect all the keygroups and not just the keygroup that i'm currently playing?

That might sound confusing so heres an example. This is all in standalone.

I've loaded up an instrument like a bass and I want to add some sustain/release. In the program menu I select ALL the keygroups and change the Amp Envelope. I play a few notes to hear the effect but now only the keygroup that I'm playing is selected. If I change the Amp Envelope some more I need to first re-select ALL the keygroups.

Is there anyway to just keep them all selected?

Thanks!

The easiest way is to play it from an external device.

I'm not gonnna be home for another 8 weeks and I couldn't bring my ext keyboard with me, but I'll take that. I feel like it's the only way around it anyway...

Thanks for the tip!

I don't know if its a hidden feature but try playing through all the pads in each bank IIRC there is usually 1 pad that has its keygroup set to all (in the factory sounds that is)
