8.TURNING MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE ON/OFF

Normally, the procedure described in the MIDI CHANNEL SELECT section is used to transmit or receive data on only one MIDI channel (any one of 1 through 16). But by turning the Multi-Timbral function “on”, you can receive data on more than one MIDI channel and simultaneously play a different sound on each channel. With this feature, you can connect the CN2 piano to an external MIDI recorder or personal computer to create performances with a variety of timbres.
