    The Multi-Timbre mode is a special mode in which the Clavinova voices can be independently controlled on different MIDI channel numbers (1 through 10) by an external MIDI device such as the Yamaha DRC-20 Disk Recorder. The Multi-Timbre mode can be activated as follows: Hold down the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
