When I am in combi / P3:Timbre Parameters mode, I cannot hear any local instrument for which the MIDI channel is set to other than the global channel (nnG or Gch). Even when Play mode is active (P0:Play button is green).

Is this behavior normal ?

Is absolutely normal. If the midi ch is different then Global Ch, timbre will not sound. if receive the notes from external device on other ch 2,3,4,... will sound.

Thanks Dan.

Forcing people to select the global midi channel to be audible in combi mode doesn't seem natural to me.
I would have liked us to be able to assign a midi channel from 1 to 16 to each of the instruments in Combi (or Sequence) mode so that they react to the external sequencer while allowing each of these instruments to be played (one at a time). ) just by selecting it in another way (to record it with the external sequencer).

Is normal to play on the Gch. Imagine how can split the sounds from Drums or Bass if play at any ch. Also you are not force to use the ch1 as global ch. Can be change from Global but maybe will muted a lot of factory combi.

The MIDI channel for each timbre in a Combi can be set to suit the particular musical requirements of the user. Most of the factory Combis have the MIDI channels 1 to 16 allocated to each of the timbres, respectively. It is quite common to allocate MIDI channel 10 as the default for drum tracks. The arpeggiators are used extensively by the factory Combis to play the various timbres in a Combi and, in Sequencer mode, each timbre can be recorded as a separate instrument or "track", so the end result is that of a complex arrangement that might have been produced by a whole band of musicians. These Combis will respond to MIDI data from an external sequencer, based on the MIDI channels that the sequencer sends. It is possible to "fatten" sounds by using a Combi where two or more timbres are allocated the same MIDI channel. Piano and strings is a good example, but bear in mind, using this approach can rapidly exceed the polyphony limits, causing note stealing.
