Whenever adding the keyboard channel number to a value
from 1 to 8 produces a result that is greater than 16, the
send channel used is the one whose number is equal to the
result minus 16.

NOTE

• Pedal effect data recorded to memory is applied to play back

from song memory, and does not affect your performance on
the keyboard. Likewise, pedal operations on the digital piano
are applied to the keyboard only, and not to play back from the
song memory.

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.
