4. TURNING SENDING PROGRAM NUMBER ON AND OFF
You can use 8 tone buttons to transmit Program Number via MIDI. Pressing PIANO 1 button
transmits Number 0, PIANO 2 for Number 1, E.PIANO for Number 2, CHURCH ORGAN for
Number 5, HARPSICHORD for Number 11, VIBRAPHONE for Number 6, STRINGS for Number
7, CHOIR for Number 12.
(1) If you press any B-flat key while holding down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons, this
function is set to “off” and the PN81 does not transmit the data corresponding to the tone selected
on the panel. If you press the B-flat key again while holding down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE
buttons, this function returns to “on” and you can select the tone to transmit as data.
(2) Release both hands after selecting either “on” or “off” of sending program number.
When the power is first turned on, the SENDING MIDI PROGRAM NUMBER is always “on”.
5. TURNING MULTITIMBRE ON AND 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 TIMBRE function “on”, you can receive more than one MIDI channel and simultaneously
play a different timbre on each channel. With this feature, you can use a sequencer such as the
Kawai DRP-10 to create performances with contain a variety of timbres on the digital piano. The
term “Multi Timbre” is derived from this ability to play multiple timbre simultaneously.
(1) If you press any A-flat key while holding down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons, the
MIDI MULTITIMBRE will be set to “on”. If you press any A-flat key again while holding down
the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons, the MIDI MULTITIMBRE function returns to “off”.
(2) Release both hands after selecting the desired setting.
When power is first turned on, the MIDI MULTITIMBRE setting is always off.
