Simultaneous Receive Over

Multiple Channels (Multi-Timbre)

The Multi-Timbre mode makes it possible to assign the digital piano’s built-in tones to MIDI channels 1 through 16. Then you can simultaneously sound multiple channels to play from a commercially available multi-track sequencer.

❚NOTE

•See “Assigning Tones to Individual Channels” on this page for details on assigning tones to each channel.

•Up to 16 channels can be received simultaneously (Channel 1 through channel 16).

•The number of channels to be received simultaneously cannot be predetermined. If it becomes necessary to cancel a channel, the cancel operation must be performed on the sending side.

Assigning Tones to Individual Channels

You can assign tones to channels using a Program Change message sent from a connected MIDI device. You cannot change the tone assigned to each channel from the digital piano.

❚NOTE

•The GRAND PIANO 1 tone is automatically assigned to all channels whenever you turn on the digital piano power.

*Whenever adding the keyboard channel number to a value from 1 to 8 produces a result that is greater than 16, the send channel used is the one whose number is equal to the result minus 16.

❚NOTE

•Pedal effect data recorded to memory is applied to play back from song memory, and does not affect your performance on the keyboard. Likewise, pedal operations on the digital piano are applied to the keyboard only, and not to play back from the song memory.
