Changing effect on keyboard

[vasha]

I often seeing people changing effects on their keyboard without pressing any button. The just play along with the music. How is that possible?

Welcome.

You need to be a bit more specific with what you are seeking!

Many players have foot switches that they use to change instrument sounds, variations, activate Fx etc

Some keyboards let you use a foot pedal for changing registrations.

Another neat trick that some keyboards can do is letting you program voice changes into a MIDI song, so that as you play along to the song it will automatically change the voice you're playing with when you get to a certain point in the song.

Another possibility is splitting the keyboard so that different zones make different sounds.
