FUNCTION

 

13) MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE ON/OFF

This function allows the EP3 digital piano to receive data on more than one MIDI channel simultaneously. In this mode, the EP3 digital piano can play several musical parts, with different sounds for each part.

With multi-timbral mode enabled, an external sequencer can be used to enjoy an ensemble performance, playing multiple sound types (multi-timbral) on a single EP3 digital piano.

￿Multi-timbral On (On1 and On2)

This activates the flexible 16 part multi-timbral capability. Individual MIDI channels can be turned on and off, and assigned any internal sound. The internal sound for each MIDI channel can be changed when the program change number for the desired sound is received from an external MIDI device or instrument. The specific EP3 digital piano program change numbers are assigned in On1, and General MIDI program change numbers are assigned in On2. Please refer to page 50 for a list of program change numbers.

￿Multi-Timbral Off

This deactivates the multi-timbral capability. Only one MIDI channel will be active and only the sound currently selected will be heard when a MIDI signal is received.
