Ah yes- but you can send program changes.

  Yep.....I still have issues of "Polyphony" Magazine  (predecessor to
"Electronic Musician")... Even though many issues of that Mag were about
mono synths.

  Bi-Timbral is Multi Timbral I guess.
My old Bit One was called Bi-Timbral Cause you could split the Keyboard (but
you couldn't assign 2 midi channels to it).

  I have never seen a Synthesizer spec sheet that said "Timbrality: 16"- are
the manufacturers starting to do that now?
