(1) If you press any B-flat key while holding down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons, this
function is set to “off” and the piano does not transmit the program change data corresponding to
the tone selected on the panel. If you press the B-flat key again while holding down the TOUCH
and TRANSPOSE buttons, this function returns to “on” and selecting a tone will transmit the data.

(2) Release both hands after selecting either “on” or “off” for transmit MIDI program change.
When the power is first turned on, the TRANSMIT MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE function is always
“on”.

5. 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 use a sequencer such as the Q-
80EXE or sequencing software on a personal computer to create performances with a variety of
timbres on the piano. The term “Multi Timbral” is derived from the ability to play multiple timbres
simultaneously.

NOTE:
You can assign any tone of the piano to any channel in the way you like by sending the correct
Program Change Number to the piano from an external MIDI device. Please refer to the list above
for assignment of tone and program number.

(1) If you press any A-flat key while holding down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons, the
MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE will be set to “on”. If you press any A-flat key again while holding
down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons, the MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE returns to “off”.

(2) Release both hands after selecting the desired setting.
When power is first turned on, the MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE setting is always off.
