MIDI Functions The Multi-Timbre Mode ... The Multi-Timbre mode is a special mode in which the Clavinova voices can be independently controlled on different MIDI channel numbers by an external MIDI device.

The MIDI Split & Left Local OFF Mode ... In the MIDI split mode one section of the Clavinova keyboard is used to play a Clavinova voice in the normal way, while the remaining section is used to play a second MIDI keyboard or tone generator such as the Yamaha DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit. In this mode the right-hand section of the keyboard is used to play an internal Clavinova voice, while the left-hand section of the keyboard plays the external keyboard or tone generator. Playing the left-hand section of the keyboard produces no sound from the Clavinova. The "split point," or the key that divides the left- and right-hand sections of the keyboard can be set at any desired key. PSI- PIPE RD ORGAN MIDI/TRANSPOSE SPLIT POINT w Left-hand section plays a DOU-10 bass voice. Right-hand section plays a Clavinova piano voice.

When the MIDI split mode is activated, notes played on the lefthand section are transmitted via the Clavinova MIDI OUT connector on MIDI channel 2.
