This function allows the CN32 digital piano to receive data on more than one MIDI channel simultaneously. In this
mode, the CN32 digital piano can play different musical parts with different sounds for each part.
With multi-timbral mode enabled, an external sequencer can be used to enjoy an ensemble performance playing
multiple sound types (multi-timbral) on a single CN32 digital piano.

program change numbers), and General MIDI program change numbers are assigned in On2.
