The following connection, for example, is necessary for using the KX.
Headphone

Synthesizer, Tone generator,
Rhythm Machine, etc.
· With the initial default settings (MIDI Select = USB ...page 34, MIDI Thru = MIDI → USB ...page 36), the
NOTE
KX can control the DAW software on your computer via a USB cable after installation procedures (pages
13–15) have been completed. For example, you can play the Voices of the software synthesizer like
VSTi standard on your computer by playing the keyboard of the KX. Furthermore, MIDI messages
generated on the MIDI device (synthesizer on the above illustration) connected to the KX via a MIDI
cable can be transmitted through the KX to the computer. It means song playback of the MIDI device can
play the Voices of the software synthesizer like VSTi standard on your computer.
· When the MIDI Select parameter (page 34) is set to "MIDI," the USB connector will be inactive resulting
that MIDI communication can be performed only via the MIDI connectors. In the example illustration
above, you can play the sound of the tone generator by playing the KX keyboard.
