With settings made in steps 3 to 9 above, you can

and set to MIDI Receive Channel 1 (RcvCh) — when
you play in the key range of B2 and lower.

same manner as you did in steps 3 to 9.
For Part 2, select a piano Voice, setting the Note
Limit Low to "C3" and the Note Limit High to the
maximum of "G8." Also set the MIDI Receive
Channel to 1, as you did with Part 1. The piano
Voice of Part 2 sounds when you play keys higher
than C3.
n In the Edit mode, the selected Part's Voice is played back.
n To avoid situations where the Voices of unused Parts
are suddenly played back, you should set the MIDI
receive channels for unused Parts to "off."
n There are many other Part-specific parameters in the
Multi Edit mode. For details, see page 64.
! Before exiting the Multi Edit mode, store the above
settings to a Multi. For instructions on storing a
Multi, refer to page 50.
Now that you've created and stored the Multi, you can
call it up anytime within the Multi play mode — and
play a strings Voice from keys B2 and below, while
playing a piano Voice from keys C3 and above.
