(2) Use the -/+ keys to lower/raise the MIDI channel number. Or you can directly enter the MIDI
channel number as a two digit number by using the number keys.
EX: For CH 1 press the 0 key then the 1 key.
For CH 12 press the 1 key then the 2 key.
When the power is first turned on, the ES1 piano always selects channel 1.

3. MIDI LOCAL CONTROL ON/OFF

This function is used to control whether or not the sound from the piano will be heard when you
play the keyboard. When MIDI LOCAL CONTROL is set to on you will hear the ES1 piano when
you play. When MIDI LOCAL CONTROL is set to off you will not hear any sound from the ES1
piano when you play but the ES1 piano's keyboard data will be transmitted through the MIDI jacks
to an external MIDI device.
(1) Press the "Local" key while the LED indicators for Touch and Transpose buttons are flashing.
(2) If you press the "-" key, this function is set to "off". If you press the "+" key, this function
returns to "on".
4. TURNING MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE ON/OFF
Normally, the procedure described in the MIDI CHANNEL SELECT section is used to transmit or
receive data on only one MIDI channel (any one of 1 through 16). But by turning the MULTI
TIMBRAL function "on", you can receive data on more than one MIDI channel and simultaneously
play a different sound on each channel. With this feature, you can use a sequencer such as the
Kawai Q-80EX or DRP-10 to create performances with a variety of timbres on the ES1 piano. The
term "Multi Timbral" is derived from the ability to play multiple timbres simultaneously.
NOTE:
You can assign any sound of the ES1 piano to any channel in the way you like by sending the
correct Program Change Number to the ES1 piano from an external MIDI device. Please refer to
the list on page 19 for assignment of sound and program number.
(1) Press the "Multi" key while the LED indicators for Touch and Transpose buttons are flashing.
(2) If you press the "+" key, this function is set to "on". If you press the "-" key, this function
returns to "off".
When power is first turned on, the MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE setting is always off.
