14) MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE
This function allows the CN41 piano to receive data on more than one MIDI channel simultaneously. In this mode, the CN41 piano can play different musical parts with different sounds for each part.
This turns on the fl exible 16 part Multi-Timbral capability. Individual MIDI channels can be turned ON and OFF, and assigned to any preset sound. The preset sound for each MIDI channel can be changed when the program change number for the desired sound is received from external MIDI device and instruments, or a personal computer. The CN41 piano’s normal program change numbers are assigned in ON1 (corresponding to the program numbers listed in the left half of the chart on page 66 to 72), while General MIDI program change numbers are assigned in ON2 (corresponding to the program number and bank numbers listed in the right half of the chart in page 66 to 72). Please refer to page 59 for information regarding the Channel Mute function.
