What You Can Do With the KX

What You Can Do With the KX
The KX is, of course, a MIDI keyboard—however, it also provides a wealth of other convenient and powerful
features for use with your computer and DAW software. Here's a short introduction to what you can do with
your KX.

Keyboard Performance

Play the keyboard and use the various controllers
(including the Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels)
to play/change the sounds of the VSTi on the
computer (via USB) or a connected MIDI tone
generator (via MIDI).

Phrase/Rhythm Performance
with Arpeggio Feature
This powerful feature lets you easily play various
rhythmic patterns and 'sequenced' phrases. These
include a wide variety of vintage analog
synthesizer-like arpeggios, guitar/bass riffs, and
drum/percussion rhythm patterns—all of which can
be triggered instantly and held automatically to
provide dynamic, realistic backing for your
performance.
