FUNCTION MODE
10) MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE ON/OFF
The procedure described in the MIDI CHANNEL SELECT section is used to transmit or receive data on only
one of the 16 MIDI channels (CH 1 - CH 16). However, by enabling MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE, MIDI data can be
received on more than one MIDI channel, simultaneously playing a different sound on each channel. With this
feature enabled, an external sequencer can be used to enjoy ensemble performances, playing multiple sound
types on a single KDP80 digital piano.
The term ‘Multi-Timbral’ is derived from the ability to play multiple timbres simultaneously.
¢
Please refer to the chart below for information regarding received program numbers and the corresponding sound
types.
¢
Data received through CH 10 will not be performed when MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE is enabled.
Step 1
Press and hold the METRONOME and SOUND SELECT buttons simultaneously, then press the key
assigned to the MULTI function.
Step 2
While still holding down the METRONOME and SOUND SELECT buttons, press the key ‘- (off)’ to set
MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE to ‘off’, or the ‘+ (on)’ key to set MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE to ‘on’.
¢
The MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE setting is automatically set to ‘off’ when the KDP80 digital piano is turned on.
