Kit effect remain

The SPD-SX PRO features a “remain” function for the kit effects (MFX 1–4 and the side chain effects) that takes into account how the player plays this instrument while switching between kits.
This function keeps the sounds of MFX 1–4 and side chain effect going from the previous kit, even after you switch to a new kit while you’re playing.
With this function, the effect sound remains until you select the next kit.
Use “All Sound Off” to stop the sound as necessary before you switch between kits.

Since the effect type and settings don’t change for the master effect, master comp and master EQ even after you switch kits, you don’t have to worry about the sound getting chopped off.
