Grand 2 sustaining drone?

Post by jzzmn88 »

Just bought a Grand 2 and absolutely loving it. Had a question and I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. Is it possible to have a sustaining drone pad in the background while I am playing? I know this can be done on the Stage 4 but wasn't sure about the Grand 2.

As far as I remember, the Grand 2 does not have the KB Hold function, so unfortunately this is not possible.

Well you could assign sustain pedal to the synth section only and keep the pedal down while you play the other half of the keyboard, but this might not be what you’re looking for….
