Changing The Touch Sensitivity Of The Keyboard - Yamaha CBX-K1XG Owner's Manual

Changing the Touch Sensitivity of the Keyboard

The Touch Sensitivity function lets you change how the
Voices respond to your playing strength. (This affects both
the internal tone generator and any connected MIDI instru-
ment.)
NOTE
Touch Sensitivity is a "Group B" function. The
"Group A" functions (such as Program Change, Bank
Select, and Controller, which were covered above) are
shown on the panel and explained in detail on pages 30
– 31. The Group B functions (listed and explained on
pages 32 – 33) are not shown on the panel and are
accessed differently than Group A functions.
Operation
Simultaneously hold down C, press
1.
K, then }.
Pressing K first (before any function key)
calls up the Group B functions. Touch Sensitivity
corresponds to the } key. The LED
display indicates the current Touch Sensitivity value.
Built into the CBX-K1XG is an INPUT jack, which allows
you to connect an external audio source (such as a CD
player, portable tape deck, or electric musical instrument)
and mix that source with the Voices of the CBX-K1XG—
without the need for an external mixer. For example, you
can connect a CD player and play the CBX-K1XG along
with your favorite CD. Or you can connect another key-
board and have its output mixed along with the CBX-
K1XG's Voices.
NOTE
The built-in effects of the CBX-K1XG are not
applied to the INPUT signals.
Operation
1. Turn off the CBX-K1XG.
2. Connect the audio source to the INPUT jack.
The INPUT jack accepts stereo mini-pin plugs.
2. While continuing to hold down C, enter the
number 1, then press K.
This sets Touch Sensitivity to 1 (easy). Now, when you
play the keyboard, even playing softly results in a
reasonably loud sound.
Try entering other values (the range is 1-10), and hear how
they affect the response of the keyboard. The default value
is 5, and can also be restored by simply turning the CBX-
K1XG off and on again.
NOTE
than 0 (off), the Touch Sensitivity setting has no effect.
For more information on Touch Sensitivity, see footnote #2
on page 32.
Using the INPUT Jack
3.
Turn the CBX-K1XG back on and gradually turn up
the VOLUME control on the CBX-K1XG (and the
output level of the source, if necessary) until the level
is appropriate.
