Using The Master Mode - Yamaha CP300 Owner's Manual

Using the Master Mode

The Master mode allows you to divide the keyboard into a total of four independent areas (called "Zones"). Each Zone can be
assigned to different MIDI channels and have different Control Slider functions. This makes it possible to control up to four
tone generators simultaneously from a single keyboard, and to control Voices of an external tone generator over several
different channels, in addition to the internal Voices of the CP300 itself.
Press the [MASTER] button to turn the Master mode on.
Turning on the Master mode also enables the "Master Edit" settings for this function.
For details, refer to page 53.
