I am aware you can save 4 keyboard sets with a song. I often need up to 8 changes in a song. Is it possible when loading a song to direct it to a keyboard set in the library. Any advice on how I can achieve what I need.
Thanks in advance

No and Yes as far as I know that is.

You have what you have when you save your Customised Style to be a Songbook entry along with the preferred keyboard sets etc.

One way to make more sounds available with minimal pressing is to create your own banks of favourite keyboard sets in a page of the user banks.

You can then easily switch to them during your playing of the song in question.

I hope this link will work for you

It is to a Korg webinar where the guest shows how he uses this method during his pro playing gigs.

You can have up to 8 sounds by splitting your 4 STS's as follows.
Assign STS 1 to say "Piano/EP" so Piano is in Upper 1 unmuted and EP is in Upper 2 muted. So STS 1 plays piano. To change to EP simply press the two buttons Upper 1 and Upper 2 at the same time (two fingers together).
Do this for all 4 STS's and you have 8 sounds within easy reach.

This is how I do it, ( not the best method )
Save the song to Songbook ( Mary 1 ) this will have your first 4 keyboard settings. Now save the same song as Mary 2 with 4 other keyboard settings ( making sure that Mary 2 will not start with an Intro ). In your set list have Mary 1 & Mary 2 together, while playing when you change from Mary 1 to Mary 2 it should be seamless ( if set at the same variation ) This works for me ( even different styles if set at the same Tempo. )
