Playing in Multitimbre Mode
Multitimbre mode is ideal when you want to use the sequencer to
create a song, or when you want to play song data. When creating
songs or playing song data, a different MIDI channel is assigned for
each patch or rhythm set used in a part. Such a set of sounds selected
for each part to play is called a
multitimbre .
