(C) Turning Multi Timbre On And Off - Kawai CA840 Owner's Manual

C. Turning MULTI TIMBRE on and off
Normally, the procedure described above is used to transmit or receive data on a
set MIDI channel (any one of 1 through 16), but by turning the MULTI TIMBRE
function on you can receive more than one MIDI channel and simultaneously play a
different type of timbre on each one. With this feature, you can use a sequencer
such as the Kawai Q-80EX/Q-55 to assemble performances with a number of timbres
(MULTI TIMBRE) on the digital piano.
There are two parameters to which the MULTI TIMBRE mode can be set. MULTI
TIMBRE 1 produces the preset sound directly corresponding to the channel of the
MIDI signal received. MULTI TIMBRE 2 lets you set which sound will be on or off for
each channel of signal received.
Make sure that the digital piano is in the programming mode.
Press the PIANO 2 button to set the LED above the PIANO 2 button flashing.

When MULTI TIMBRE is off and a MIDI signal is received, the preset sound currently
selected will produce the sound.
When MULTI TIMBRE 1 is on, the preset sound that corresponds with the MIDI
channel (shown on p. 37) will automatically produce the sound.
When MULTI TIMBRE 2 is on, you can select which sound will be on and off for
each channel of reception.
