four different instruments, and are transmitted over four separate
MIDI channels.

SOLO-channel		4  (Off att power-up)		48
CHORDS			2				60
BASSES			3				36

SOLO-channel

The AM-2 has no programmable functions exept for the solo-channel, that
can be switched on and off. It is switched off  by default att power-up,
and is turned on by pressing (on the treble side keys) C and C#  in the
2:nd octave and C in the 4:th octave simultaneously. First when all three
keys are pressed they can be released, and the SOLO-channel is on.
The SOLO-channel is transmitted over MIDI-channel 4. It is monophonic
and only the highest note on the treble side is transmitted.
Turning off  the SOLO-channel is done in the same way as turning it on,
exept for the high C that is replaced by a C#. An easier way to turn it
off is to switch the power off for a moment.
