Hi,
I can't understand well what do you want to do but I can explain how to use the SW to control the Effects and muted/ un muted the sounds.
So if you rout some sounds to the Compressors or Limiter and use the SW to control the level, can mute and un mute the sounds in the combi mod.
For example rout the track 1 to Ifx 1 Limiter.
Select the gain to 05 Db, Source SW1 #80, value -63
Now when the SW is off Track 1 play, when Sw1 is On Track 1 is mute.

In the meantime can control the other Limiter to work in reverse mode for track 2:

Rout the track 2 to Ifx 2 Limiter, Gain -inf, Source Sw1#80 and Value +35 or so.

Now the Sw1 is off Track 2 is off , when SW1 is On track 2 play.

So in the same combi Sw1 switch to track 1 to Track 2.
Using this trick can add sounds, Switch sounds or mute sounds.

Note:
To transmit on Fx the MIDI CC #80 for Sw1 and #81 for Sw2 must to check the Controllers page. The Sw can be set in different mode(octave up/down, portamento on/off, pitch Bend lock), so be sure that the Sw1 is set to CC#80.

The Sw can be the AMS for different parameter in different location, Lfo Speed,Osc Pitch, Level, Filter level, cutoff, reso level, Eg Amount and manny more.

If you need more info regarding AMS please let me know.

Will be continue:)

Best regards,
Dan

how about i like to control(on/off) the layer(dual) and assign it to sw1/sw2

for example kross grand piano
then if i press the sw1/sw2 it will on/off the layer...

i dont use the quick layer button bcos i like "slow string" than the default program of kross and the volume of the layer is same in the main instruments :cry: :cry:

(2:27) Sw2 switch the sounds for right hand using the Limiter gain trick.
Two different group of sounds are routed by Limiter 1 and other by Limiter 2.
SW 2 close the gain for Limiter 1 and Open the Gain for Limiter 2.
(8:19) is the same trick.

Yes! I adjust the LFO speed using mod wheel. Lo speed by default and hi speed with mod wheel max value.
