Multi-Timbral Mode - Kawai Concert Artis CA61 Owner's Manual

12) Multi-timbral Mode

Multi-timbral mode allows the CA61 piano to receive data on more than one MIDI channel simultaneously. In this
mode, the CA61 piano can play different musical parts with different sounds for each part.
Multi-timbral On (On1 and On2)
This is a fl exible 16 part multi-timbral setup. You can turn individual MIDI channels on and off, and assign any program
number to any channel in the way you like. The CA61 piano's normal program change numbers are assigned in
On1 (corresponding to the program numbers listed in the left half of the chart on the previous page).
General MIDI program change numbers are assigned in On2 (corresponding to the program number and bank
numbers listed in the right half of the chart on the previous page.
See page 78 for channel mute information.
Multi-timbral Off
This turns off the multi-timbral capability. Only one MIDI channel will be active and only the preset sound currently
selected will be heard when a MIDI signal is received.
With this function, you can use an external sequencer to enjoy an ensemble performance using multiple sound
types (multi timbral) on a single CA61 piano.
