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. (See page
24.)
About the Functions of the CBX-K1XG: The functions
are divided into two groups: Group A and Group B.
The Group A functions are shown on the panel, above
the left section of the keyboard. The Group B functions
are "hidden" and are listed on pages 32 – 33. Several
functions can be used by pressing only the relevant key;
in other words, pressing L is not necessary. These
functions, such as Sequencer Stop and Start, are shown
on the panel without underline. The right section of the
keyboard serves as value entry and is used for those
functions whose names are underlined on the panel and
require value entry, such as Program Change and
Tempo. Functions whose names appear with a dashed
underline on the panel (for example, GM ON and XG
ON) require pressing L. Value entry on the CBX-
K1XG can be done in two number systems: Decimal
and Hexadecimal. The keys labeled A through F are for
Hexadecimal entry.
NOTE
The normal (default) velocity range of the
CBX-K1XG is from 16 to 127. The range differs
according to the Touch Sensitivity setting (see page 32).

w PITCH Wheel (Pitch Bend)
This spring-loaded Wheel controls Pitch Bend. The
Wheel's operation can be reversed. (See page 32.)
e ASSIGNABLE Wheel
When the CBX-K1XG is turned on, this Wheel (with
center detent) is set to control Modulation Depth of the
internal tone generator and the connected MIDI device. It
can be set to control other functions; see pages 18 and 30
for details. The Wheel's operation can be reversed. (See
page 32.) Turning the Wheel will momentarily show the
currently assigned controller number on the LED.
r C Button
This button is used to access the "hidden" functions of the
CBX-K1XG. Used with the N /
M buttons, it allows you to step up or down
through program numbers. (See page 15.) Whenever
turned on, the program number is set to 001. Used with
the keys of the keyboard, it allows you to access the
sophisticated MIDI control functions. (See page 24.)
t N / M Buttons
These buttons are used to change the octave range of the
keyboard, allowing you to play across the entire range of
MIDI notes (C-2 to G8). When the octave setting is
modified, the current octave setting is momentarily dis-
played on the LED. (See page 17.) Press both of these
buttons together to restore the normal octave setting (C2 to
C5).
