Summary of Contents for Yamaha CBX-K1XG

  • Page 2 SPECIAL MESSAGE SECTION (U.S.A.) PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL...
  • Page 3 Precautions Your CBX-K1XG will give you years of reliable service if you follow the simple precautions below: LOCATION Keep the instrument away from locations where it is likely to be exposed to high temperatures (such as direct sunlight) or humidity. Also avoid locations which are subject to excessive dust accumulation or vibration which could damage the instrument.
  • Page 4 Three independent digital effect sections can be used simultaneously and give you enor- mous versatility in “sweetening” the sound. As a MIDI keyboard controller, the CBX-K1XG not only allows you to play the internal tone generator, but also external tone generators and rhythm machines, as well as enter perfor- mance data to sequencers and computers.

  • Page 5: How To Use This Manual

    How to Use This Manual By and large, the CBX-K1XG is very easy to use and this manual is self-explanatory. However, we strongly recommend that you take time to read the manual—especially before trying some of the more sophisticated MIDI functions.

  • Page 7: Panel Controls And Terminals

    Panel Controls and Terminals Front Panel q Keyboard The CBX-K1XG has a 37-key, 3-octave keyboard (C2 to C5), featuring initial touch (velocity) control. All note on, note off and velocity data is sent both to the internal tone generator and the connected MIDI device. When used with the C button, the keys are used for changing various settings and sending special MIDI messages.

    Your CBX-K1XG will run from the included power adap- tor, PA-3B, PA-1207 or an equivalent. Alkaline batteries can also be used (see below). However, we strongly recom- mend that you use the power adaptor, since the CBX-K1XG runs only for a short time on battery power. NOTE...
  • Page 12 Connections There are two ways to connect the CBX-K1XG with your computer: Whichever computer you use, the connections are basically the same. However, the position of the Host Select switch depends on the computer type since the serial port type and its clock may differ.
  • Page 13 MIDI — Via MIDI connection (see next page). * Set the MIDI Thru (or Echo Back) setting on the sequencer software to ON, and be sure to set the MIDI Merge and Local functions on the CBX-K1XG to OFF, to avoid a MIDI data “loop.”...
  • Page 14 2. Serial Port ——— MIDI Interface ——— MIDI Terminals Connecting to a computer with a MIDI inter- face: Connect the MIDI IN/OUT Terminals of the CBX-K1XG to the MIDI OUT/IN Terminals of the computer with an appropriate MIDI cable as illustrated below, then select MIDI (31,250 bps) from the Host Select switch.

  • Page 15: Midi Devices

    MIDI Devices Connect the MIDI IN/OUT Terminals of the CBX-K1XG to the MIDI OUT/IN terminals of an external device (such as a sequencer or tone generator) with MIDI cables and set the Host Select switch to MIDI. You can control the connected device with the CBX-K1XG, and have the sequencer control and play the CBX-K1XG’s internal tone generator.

  • Page 17: Selecting And Playing Voices

    To quickly move up or down through the Voice numbers, continuously hold down C and the appropriate OCTAVE SHIFT button. When the CBX-K1XG is turned on, the starting point for program change is 001. This means that when you first hold down C and press M, program number 002 will be selected.
  • Page 18 Playing and Using Your CBX-K1XG Selecting Voices From Other Voice Banks In addition to the default Voice Bank, the CBX-K1XG has many other Voice Banks, from which you can select many Voice variations. When turned on, the CBX-K1XG is set to XG mode and Bank 0 is automatically selected.

  • Page 22 • Starting up your computer will automatically initialize all CBX-K1XG settings, or parameter values. • Since the CBX-K1XG requires about half a second to change modes when it receives a mode change message, be sure to insert at least one blank measure at the top of the song in order to allow enough time for the mode to change before your actual music data begins.
  • Page 23 Voices and Elements A CBX-K1XG Voice can be made up of one or two ele- ments (i.e., sounds), depending on the complexity of the Voice. Many Voices are made up of only one element. Two- element Voices are made up of two one-element Voices, and may be configured in a variety of ways.

  • Page 25 When MIDI Merge is set to ON, MIDI messages received from an external device are merged with the data generated by the CBX-K1XG, and are transmitted as is from MIDI OUT. However, there are some exceptions, as listed below: * All Note Off messages (<<Bn 7B 00>>) will not be merged.
  • Page 26 Using the SHIFT-Related Functions The enormous flexibility and power of the CBX-K1XG is in its “hidden” or SHIFT-related functions — allowing you to send virtually any kind of MIDI message directly from the keyboard or use the ASSIGNABLE Wheel for real-time control change.
