multiple channels. With MIDI instruments equipped with multi-timbral
capabilities, you can receive multiple parts on multiple channels each
played with a different sound simultaneously. For example, a MIDI
instrument might receive the melody on channel 1, the chords on 2, the
bass on 3, and assign a different instrument to each channel. Piano for
channel 1, strings for 2, electric bass for 3. In this way, the CN piano can
play up to 16 different parts each with a different sound.
HereOs a diagram (next page) to summarize the MIDI connections we have
discussed.
Instrument #1, which is transmitting the piano part on channel 1 (Ch 1),
the string part on Ch 2 and the bass part on Ch 3, is connected to Instrument
#2. Instrument #3 is connected to MIDI Thru on instrument #2. The receive
channel is set to 1 for Instrument #2 and multi-timbral mode is turned off.
On instrument #3 multi-timbral mode is on.

Instrument #2 recognizes only the piano part received from Instrument
#1. Instrument #3 receives all the parts on the three channels being passed
through Instrument #2 because Instrument #3Os multi-timbral mode
capability is activated.
