change, and volume (CC#7) messages will be transmitted
on the MIDI channel specified for each timbre whose
Status (0–1b, 2–1a) is set to EXT or EX2. However,
these messages will not be transmitted for timbres that are
set to the same MIDI channel as the global MIDI channel.
In this case, EX2 timbres will show the "Program" Bank
as "–", and will transmit the bank number that was
specified in "Bank Select" (2–1a).
When you play on the KRONOS keyboard and
controllers, MIDI messages are transmitted on the global
MIDI channel. At the same time, timbres whose Status
is set to EXT or EX2 will transmit the same messages on
their own MIDI channel.
If bank select and program change messages are received
on a MIDI channel that matches the MIDI channel of a
timbre whose Status is INT, the program of that timbre
will change. However if the MIDI channel of the
incoming message matches the global MIDI channel
"MIDI Channel," then the combination will change.
If you do not want the combination to change, you can
either change the global MIDI channel so that it does not
match the channel on which the program change
messages are being received, or you can uncheck
"Combination Change" (Global 1–1c). You can also
uncheck "Bank Change" so that only the program number
will change and the bank will remain the same.
If you wish to change the program assigned to certain
timbres without changing the combination, you can also
set Enable Program Change (3–1a) so that the program
will change on certain timbres but not on others.
Bank/Program Select
1. Press the popup button at the left of Program Select to
get the Bank/Program Select menu.
2. Press the left tab to select a bank.
3. Choose the desired program from the list. You can
directly press a program in the list, or use the

If there are more programs than can be shown in the
screen, use the scroll buttons to see the remaining
programs.
4. If you check "Favorite," only the programs you
marked as Favorites will be shown.
You cannot select this if no programs in the selected bank
are marked as Favorites.
5. You can use the Find button to search for Programs
by name. The button is marked with a magnifying-
glass icon, and is located at the bottom of the window
to the right of the OK button.
For more information, see "Find dialog" on page 5.
6. Press the OK button to execute, or press the Cancel
button to cancel your selection.
Status
This sets whether the Timbre controls the internal sounds, or
external MIDI devices.
When controlling external MIDI devices, it also allows you
to choose between using the internal Bank Select numbers
(as set by the front-panel buttons), or using custom Bank
Select settings to match the external device.

[Off, INT, EXT, EX2]
Combination P0: Play 0–1: Program Select/Mixer
Off: Use this to disable the Timbre. With this setting, the
Timbre's Program will not sound, and MIDI data will not be
transmitted. Also, any EXi fixed resources used by the
Program will be freed.
INT: Use this to make the Timbre play internal sounds. With
this setting, the Timbre's Program will respond to both the
local keyboard and MIDI input on the Timbre's MIDI
channel. The Timbre will not transmit MIDI data.
EXT: Use this to play an external MIDI device, with Bank
Select via the front-panel Bank buttons. With this setting, the
Timbre's Program will not respond to either the local
keyboard or MIDI input. MIDI will be transmitted to
external devices on the selected MIDI channel.
EX2: Use this to play an external MIDI device, with custom-
set Bank Select via the Bank Select LSB and MSB
parameters, on the MIDI tab of the Timbre Parameters
page. In all other ways, this is the same as EXT.
For more information, see "Bank Select MSB (When Status
= EX2)" on page 469.

Using the control surface to make timbre settings
You can use the control surface to edit the mix parameters
for each Timbre, including PLAY/MUTE, Solo On/Off, Pan,
Volume, FX sends, and EQ. These can also be controlled
from the mixer section of the front panel, or from the P0–
Control Surface page of the LCD screen.
For more information, see "Adjusting the mix" on page 70
of the Operation Guide.
Play/Mute
This determines whether or not the Timbre will sound. The
setting will alternate each time you press the Play/Mute
button.
Mute: The timbre will not sound.
Play: The timbre will sound.
Tip: You can use the control surface to control this
parameter. For more information, see "Using the control
surface to make timbre settings" on page 429.
Solo On/Off
This setting switches the Solo function on/off.
Only timbres that are set to Solo On will be heard. Other
timbres (and audio inputs: 0–8a) will be muted.
The setting will alternate each time you press the Solo
button.
Timbres that have been silenced by the Mute or Solo
functions will not transmit note-on/off messages on the
MIDI channel assigned for their track when the timbre's
Status (2–1a) is BTH, EXT, or EX2.
