Where are favorites "Stored" - On Hardware, or in Software?

ToeCutter

I have an S61 Mk3 and an S88 Mk3, both new to me. For the sake of this question I am using either Kontakt and/or Komplete Kontrol in standalone mode on my PC. I have not installed a DAW yet.

I am using Windows 11, and all software and firmwares are up to date, including everything in Native Access (I have KK 15 Ultimate)

Both the 61 and the 88 are connected directly to my PC.

If I mark a favorite on the keyboard, is that favorite keyboard-specific, or is that just creating a favorite in the software?

My use case, and why I have a 61 and an 88 is for the differing keybeds. I would use the 61 for, say, a saxophone, whereas the 88 for pianos.

So if I have the 61 loaded with “Saxophone” favorites from Komplete Kontrol sessions, and the 88 with “piano” favourites from the same Komplete Kontrol software, will those differentiations remain with the hardware, or will the software then just be showing both piano and saxophone favorites?

Hope this makes sense.

Favourites are stored on the computer, not in the hardware. Storing on the hardware would mean you can't select favourites in the software without the hardware being connected, so it's all stored locally on the computer.
