16) MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE

This function allows the CN42 piano to receive data on more than one MIDI channel simultaneously. In this mode,
the CN42 piano can play different musical parts with different sounds for each part.
This turns on the fl exible 16 part Multi-Timbral capability. Individual MIDI channels can be turned ON and OFF, and
assigned to any preset sound. The preset sound for each MIDI channel can be changed when the program change
number for the desired sound is received from external MIDI device and instruments, or a personal computer. The
CN42 piano's normal program change numbers are assigned in ON1 (corresponding to the program numbers
listed in the left half of the chart on page 69 to 75), while 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 in page 69 to
75). Please refer to page 61 for information regarding the Channel Mute function.
Multi-Timbral OFF
This turns off the Multi-Timbral capability. Only one MIDI channel will be active and only the sound currently
selected will be heard when a MIDI signal is received.
