But by turning the MULTI TIMBRE function “on”, you can receive more than one MIDI channel and simultaneously play a different timbre on each channel. With this feature, you can use a sequencer such as the Kawai DRP-10 to create performances with contain a variety of timbres on the digital piano. The term “Multi Timbre” is derived from this ability to play multiple timbre simultaneously.
