memory playback is send over Channel 1.

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.

Setting the Keyboard Channel

This parameter sets the channel for sending MIDI messages
to an external device. You can set any MIDI channel in the
range of 1 to 16 as the keyboard channel.

To set the Keyboard Channel

While still holding down the CONTROL button,
select the Keyboard channel by pressing one of
the keyboard keys illustrated below.

key while holding down CONTROL.

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.
