How Various Types of Messages Function While the
Multi-Timbral Mode is ON
* Pedal Messages
Damper, sostenuto and soft pedal messages function
independently for any of these channels: 1, 11, 12, 13,
t4or 15.
* Volume Messages
Volume messages control the volume, and function
independently for any of these channels: 1, 11, 12, 13,
14 or 15. Such messages, however, have no effect on
what is played on this instrument's keyboard.
The actual volume obtained is determined by both the
value of the Volume message, and the position of the
Volume knob on this instrument. When a Volume
message calls tor the maximum value, the actual
volume produced will directly reflect the position of the
Volume knob.

Chorus On/Otf messages affect independently for each
channel 1, 11, 12, 13, 14 or 15.
