4. TRANSMIT MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE ON/OFF
You can use 8 tone buttons to transmit Program Change Numbers via MIDI. Please refer to the list
below for assignment of tone and program number.
TONE NAME PRG # PRG #(When Multi-Timbral mode is ON)
CLASSIC GRAND 1 1
MODERN PIANO 2 2

(1) If you press any B-flat key while holding down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons, this
function is set to “off” and the CN piano does not transmit the program change 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 selecting a tone will transmit the data.
(2) Release both hands after selecting either “on” or “off” for transmit MIDI program change.
When the power is first turned on, the TRANSMIT MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE function is always
“on”.
5. 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 to create
performances with a variety of timbres on the CN piano. The term “Multi Timbral” is derived from
the ability to play multiple timbres simultaneously.
NOTE:
You can assign any tone of the CN piano to any channel in the way you like by sending the correct
Program Change Number to the CN piano from an external MIDI device. Please refer to the list
above for assignment of tone and program number.
(1) If you press any A-flat key while holding down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons, the
MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE will be set to “on”. If you press any A-flat key again while holding
down the TOUCH and TRANSPOSE buttons, the MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE returns to “off”.
(2) Release both hands after selecting the desired setting.
When power is first turned on, the MULTI-TIMBRAL MODE setting is always off.
