What you can do with the Mixer
This digital piano lets you play multiple different musical
instrument parts at the same time during auto-
accompaniment play, song memory playback, receipt of data
through USB etc. The Mixer assigns each part to a separate
channel (1 through 16) and lets you control the channel on/
off, volume, and pan pot parameters of each channel.
In addition to channels 1 through 16, the Mixer also has a
DSP channel that you can use to adjust the DSP level, DSP
pan, and other DSP parameters.

device, all 16 channels are assigned musical instrument
