You want it to say "MULTI" to set up the 12 multi-timbre Performance sounds (which mean, you can have your controller keyboard play up to 12 different parts/sounds on 12 different MIDI channels on the SD-1).

You can set the remaining 10 slots up with additional SD-1 sounds if you'd like; be sure each slot/track has a different MIDI channel.

The right way to set that up is to put the SD-1 sounds you want into a Sequence or Pattern set. Then you have to turn the MIDI setting for each of the 12 slots to "MIDI Ext" external, in the MIDI button in the Performance section of buttons on the SD-1. You will be about to set up to 12 different sounds, on different MIDI channels, on the SD-1.

What I would like to do is use the keyboard of the SD-1 to control the VK-8M only, and control everything on the SD-1 with a larger external controller (76 or 88 key) since i use the pianos primarily. This seems to work if i set an individual piano program to midi-in. Is there anyway to set this globally so all the programs on the SD-1 play from the external keyboard, and the SD-1's keyboard plays none (except for the VK-8M)? I have poked around the Musicians Manual but Im rather dyslexic when it comes to midi.
