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.

USE THE CORRECT POWER ADAPTOR

Use only the designated Power Adaptor for supplying power. Use of another adaptor may cause serious damage to the instrument or the adaptor itself. Also avoid using a multipleplug adaptor; plug the adaptor directly into a wall outlet.

• MAKE SURE POWER IS OFF WHEN MAKING OR REMOVING CONNECTIONS

To prevent damage to the instrument and other connected equipment, always turn off the power prior to connecting or disconnecting cables. Also, turn the power off when the instrument is not in use, and disconnect the power adaptor during electric storms.

• NO MEMORY BACKUP

The CBX-K1XG has no internal memory backup. As a result, all settings are returned to the factory default when turning the power off.

• HANDLE THE INSTRUMENT WITH CARE

Although the instrument has been constructed to withstand the rigors of normal use for optimum sturdiness and reliability,

avoid subjecting it to strong physical shocks (such as dropping or hitting it). Since the CBX-K1XG is a precision-made electronic device, also avoid applying excessive force to the various controls. When moving the instrument, first unplug the power adaptor and all other cables to prevent damage to cords and jacks. Always unplug cables by gripping the plug firmly, not by pulling on the cable.

• CLEAN WITH A SOFT, DRY CLOTH

Never use solvents such as benzine or thinner to clean the instrument, since these will damage the cabinet finish or dull the keys. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a soft, clean, slightly moistened cloth — making sure to wipe the instrument off again with a dry cloth. Do not leave vinyl on the panel as this may stick to and discolor the surface.

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE

Avoid using the unit near televisions, radios or other equipment generating electromagnetic fields. Proximity to such equipment may cause the unit to malfunction, and may generate interference noise in the other appliance as well.

DO NOT OPEN THE CASE OR TRY REPAIRING THE INSTRUMENT YOURSELF

The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Never open the case or tamper with the internal circuitry in any way, since doing so may result in damage to the instrument. Refer all servicing to qualified Yamaha service personnel.

Yamaha is not responsible for damage caused by improper handling or operation.

Welcome to the CBX-K1XG

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Yamaha CBX-K1XG MIDI Sound Keyboard.

The CBX-K1XG is a sophisticated, yet compact MIDI keyboard controller and tone generator, for use with computers and MIDI music systems.

The tone generator section features 737 high-quality Voices and 22 drum Voices, with full General MIDI compatibility—including Yamaha's new XG-MIDI. It provides 16-Part multistimbral capacity and full 32-note polyphony for playback of even the most sophisticated song data. Three independent digital effect sections can be used simultaneously and give you enormous 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 performance data to sequencers and computers. It features a sophisticated touch-sensitive keyboard that can be adjusted to cover the full 128-note MIDI range. It also provides a wealth of MIDI controls that allow you to send virtually any MIDI message directly from the keyboard. Moreover, the CBX-K1XG has a versatile ASSIGNABLE Wheel that lets you control a wide variety of parameters on the internal tone generator or external device in real time.

The CBX-K1XG also features a built-in host computer interface along with the MIDI terminals, allowing you to directly connect it to your computer—eliminating the need of installing a special MIDI interface to your computer.

What It Is

The CBX-K1XG is a compact, highly portable 37-key MIDI keyboard, designed especially for use with computers and MIDI music systems. It also has a built-in high-quality GM- and XG-compatible tone generator, with 737 Voices and 22 drum Voices (percussion sets). The tone generator can be played either from an external MIDI device (such as a sequencer) or from the keyboard itself. Since the keyboard is touch-sensitive and its octave range can be changed to cover the full 128-note MIDI range, the CBX-K1XG is ideal for entering MIDI data to sequencers and computers.

The CBX-K1XG features a built-in host computer interface, allowing you to directly connect it to your Macintosh or IBM PC/AT (and compatible) computer—eliminating the need of installing a special MIDI interface to your computer. With the proper sequencing software on the computer, the CBX-K1XG can be used for both recording and playing back of sequencer data.

The true power and flexibility of the CBX-K1XG is in its comprehensive MIDI controls. The CBX-K1XG allows you to send virtually any type of MIDI message to connected devices. Pre-programmed commands provide easy control of basic sequencer/rhythm machine functions such

as Start, Stop, Tempo and Song Select, while comprehensive program change commands let you easily select program banks and voices.

The CBX-K1XG also has a convenient ASSIGNABLE Wheel that can be set for control of any controller number. This means that you can use the ASSIGNABLE Wheel to control a wide variety of parameters—such as Volume, Pan, Brightness, and the Depth of various effects—in real time. This gives you expressive control over different aspects of the sound in live performance. The internal tone generator also features comprehensive control over all Voice and effect parameters—via incoming system exclusive messages, transmitted from a sequencer or other MIDI device.

The CBX-K1XG is also the latest instrument in the Yamaha line to support the XG format, a new addition to the General MIDI standard. In short, XG provides for more instrument sounds and variations, and greater expressive control over voices and effects. With the use of the ASSIGNABLE Wheel on the CBX-K1XG, you have direct real-time control over many of these newly supported functions and parameters. Naturally, the internal tone generator is fully XG-compatible and responds to all these controls.

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.

The following conventions are used throughout this manual:

• Panel buttons and controls are indicated as they appear on the actual instrument. (For example, SHIFT and OCTAVE SHIFT).

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 SHIFT 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 ENTER 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 ENTER. 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).

2 PITCH Wheel (Pitch Bend)

This spring-loaded Wheel controls Pitch Bend. The Wheel's operation can be reversed. (See page 32.)

3 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.

4 SHIFT>Button

This button is used to access the "hidden" functions of the CBX-K1XG. Used with the OCTAVE SHIFT / OCTAVE SHIFT 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.)

OCTAVE SHIFT / OCTAVE SHIFT 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 displayed on the LED. (See page 17.) Press both of these buttons together to restore the normal octave setting (C2 to C5).

OCTAVE/OCTAVE Lamps

These lamps provide several indications:

• During normal playing conditions, these (along with the LED display) indicate the octave setting of the keyboard, up (OCTAVE▶) or down (▲OCTAVE). Both light together for the normal octave setting. When changing the octave setting, these flash to indicate the number of octaves, up or down. (See page 17.)
• When using some of the "hidden" functions, these flash when a MIDI message is transmitted or when a function is executed.
• The right lamp flashes quickly when a MIDI buffer full error happens. The lamp flashes until you turn the power off and on again, or until you set MIDI Merge to ON. (See page 30.)

LED Display

In normal playing conditions, this displays the currently selected program number.

When moving the ASSIGNABLE Wheel, this flashes the currently active Controller number. (The default is 001, Modulation.)

When changing the octave setting, this momentarily indicates the number of octaves, up or down, from the normal octave setting. The range is -4 (4 octaves down) to 0 (normal) to 4 (4 octaves up).

The display also indicates the status of the MIDI control operations. Depending on the operation performed, the display may:

• Flash rapidly, indicating the selected MIDI message has been sent. (Ex.: When pressing SHIFT + STOP.)
• Show the current condition or value. (Ex.: When pressing SHIFT + TEMPO.) It also displays the entered value when changing a function's setting.

VOLUME Control

This controls the overall volume of the CBX-K1XG — its internal Voices and the signal received via the INPUT jack. This affects all outputs: PHONES, OUTPUT jacks, and built-in speakers.

Note Range of the CBX-K1XG (with Octave Shift)

Built-in Speakers

The sounds of the internal tone generator, as well as the audio signals input via the INPUT jack, can be heard through the built-in speaker system.

NOTE Since the built-in speakers do not completely reproduce the full dynamic and frequency range of the internal tone generator, for best sonic results please use the OUTPUT jacks (with an appropriate amplifier/ speaker system) or a set of stereo headphones (connected to the PHONES jack).

Selecting and Playing Voices

The CBX-K1XG features a total of 737 high-quality Normal Voices, created with the AWM2 tone generation system. The default Voice Bank contains 128 different Voices, and you can easily select these Voices in two ways: stepping up or down through the Voice numbers, or directly selecting a specific Voice number. (For a list of the available Voices, see page App-17.) When the CBX-K1XG is turned on, Bank 0 is automatically selected, and operation is set to GM Level 1.
- To step up or down through the Voice numbers: Simultaneously hold down SHIFT and press OCTAVE SHIFT (to advance one program number), or press OCTAVE SHIFT (to go back one program number).

The program number in the LED display changes accordingly, and the OCTAVE SHIFT lamps quickly flash on and off. Release SHIFT, and play the keyboard to hear the newly selected Voice.

To quickly move up or down through the Voice numbers, continuously hold down SHIFT 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 SHIFT and press OCTAVE SHIFT, program number 002 will be selected.

IMPORTANT! Always release SHIFT before playing the CBX-K1XG keyboard. Holding down SHIFT accesses the secondary or "hidden" functions, and you may inadvertently execute one of these functions by playing the keyboard while continuing to hold down SHIFT.

NOTE This function does not "wrap around." In other words, you cannot go back to program number 128 when at 001, or advance to program number 001 when at 128.

• To directly select a specific Voice number: Simultaneously hold down SHIFT, press the keys corresponding to the desired Voice number, then the DECIMAL ENTER key.

For example, to select Voice number 017, continue holding down SHIFT and press 1, 7, then DECIMAL ENTER. Release SHIFT, and play the keyboard to hear the newly selected Voice.

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. In the XG mode there are 45 Banks from which you can choose. Though not all of the Banks have a completely different set of Voices, altogether there are 737 Normal Voices and 22 Drum Voices available in the various Banks.

IMPORTANT! For the sake of the operation example below, you may want to select Voice number 17 (see Selecting and Playing Voices above). This particular Voice has many variations, and lets you clearly hear the difference between Voices in different Banks.

Operation

1. Simultaneously hold down SHIFT and press BANK SELECT.

The LED display indicates the current Bank setting by alternately flashing the MSB and LSB values. (In this case, the default setting, both of these values are 000.)

000

1. While continuing to hold down SHIFT, enter the number 64 (press 6, then 4), then press DECIMAL ENTER.

The display alternately flashes the MSB and LSB values.

This sets the Bank to 064 (LSB value). The LED display alternately flashes the MSB and LSB values, 000 and 064. If you've selected Voice number 17 before changing banks, the newly selected Bank's Voice should sound different from the original Voice.

NOTE For the internal tone generator, only the LSB value need be set. For information on setting both the MSB and LSB, see page 27.

To restore the original Bank (or select other Banks), hold down SHIFT, press BANK SELECT, 0 (or another number for a different Bank), and DECIMAL ENTER. (Alternatively, simply turn the CBX-K1XG off and on again to reset the instrument to its default settings; see page 7.) For a list of the other Banks and their Voices, see page App-17.

Selecting Drum Voices

The CBX-K1XG also features 22 different drum Voices, and each contains various drum and percussion sounds assigned individually to the keys. (For a list of the available drum Voices and their individual drum/percussion sounds, see page App-23.)

■ Normal Voices and Drum Voices

The CBX-K1XG has two types of Voices—Normal Voices and Drum Voices. (In this Owner's Manual, in general the word Voice refers to a Normal Voice.) The distinction between a Normal Voice and a Drum Voice is as follows:

• A Normal Voice is simply a pitched Voice which can be played on a musical scale from low to high, such as a piano or trumpet. The CBX-K1XG has 737 Normal Voices.
• A Drum Voice is a complete set of drum and other percussion sounds, each sound having a fixed pitch. Each sound is assigned to a specific MIDI Note number (which also corresponds to a key on a MIDI keyboard). The CBX-K1XG has 22 Drum Voices.

Operation

1. First select MIDI channel 10 (the default drum channel). To do this, simultaneously hold down SHIFT and press the following keys in order:

MIDI CH
-1
0
- DECIMAL ENTER

Finally, release SHIFT. The MIDI channel should now be set to 10. Play the keyboard now to hear the various drum sounds. Try also changing the octave setting (see Changing the Octave Range below) and playing the other sounds as well.

2. To select different drum Voices, hold down SHIFT and use the OCTAVE SHIFT/ OCTAVE SHIFT but-tons.

To select and play normal Voices again, set the MIDI channel to a value other than 10. For example, hold down SHIFT and press MIDICH, 1, and DECIMAL ENTER. (Or, simply turn the CBX-K1XG off and on again—doing this resets the instrument to its default settings; see page 7.)

Changing the Octave Range

The range of the 3-octave keyboard can be easily shifted up or down to cover the full 10-1/2-octave (128-note) range of MIDI notes. (See page 6 for the note range.)

Operation

To shift the keyboard up one octave, press OCTAVE SHIFT. To shift the keyboard down one octave, press OCTAVE SHIFT.

When the octave range is changed, the LED display briefly indicates the new setting. The OCTAVE SHIFT lamps also rapidly flash one or more times, according to the selected octave range. For example, when the setting is changed to two octaves below normal, the left lamp flashes twice.

You can instantly restore the normal octave range by pressing both OCTAVE SHIFT / OCTAVE SHIFT buttons simultaneously.

NOTE At the highest octave setting, keys outside the legal MIDI note range will repeat a previous octave.

Using the PITCH and ASSIGNABLE Wheels

These two wheels let you control different aspects of the sound in realtime as you play. These controls affect both the internal tone generator and any connected MIDI instrument.

Move the PITCH Wheel as you play to change the pitch of the sound. Moving the wheel away from you bends the pitch up, though this can be reversed if desired (see page 32). The PITCH Wheel is spring-loaded for returning to center (normal pitch).

Move the ASSIGNABLE Wheel as you play to change the modulation of the sound (MIDI Controller #1). Moving the wheel away from you increases the modulation, though this can be reversed if desired (see page 32). The ASSIGNABLE Wheel can also be set to control other functions; see the section below for details.

Re-assigning the ASSIGNABLE Wheel

As mentioned above, the ASSIGNABLE Wheel can be used to control a variety of different functions. The default setting is for modulation control (MIDI Controller #1); however, it can be set to control volume, pan position, attack or release time, coarse or fine tuning, and reverb or chorus depth, among other Controllers. (For a complete list of the available Controllers and their numbers, see page 34.)

Operation

1. Simultaneously hold down SHIFT and press CONTROLLER.

The LED display indicates the current ASSIGNABLE Wheel's Controller number.

1. While continuing to hold down SHIFT, enter the number 93 (press 9, then 3), then press DECIMAL ENTER.

This sets the ASSIGNABLE Wheel to Controller number 93 (Chorus). Play the keyboard and move the ASSIGNABLE Wheel as you play, and hear how a Chorus effect comes in as you move the wheel to the maximum position. As you move the Wheel, the currently assigned Controller number appears in the LED display.

Try entering other Controller numbers, repeating steps 1 and 2 above. (A short list of Controllers is printed on the panel. Try entering some of these; many—but not all—of these will have an obvious effect on the sound as you move the wheel.)

• You can also assign RPN and NRPN numbers to the ASSIGNABLE Wheel. (See page 30.)

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 instrument.)

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

1. Simultaneously hold down SHIFT, press DECIMAL ENTER, then FIXED VELOCITY.

Pressing DECIMAL ENTER first (before any function key) calls up the Group B functions. Touch Sensitivity corresponds to the FIXED VECOCITY key. The LED display indicates the current Touch Sensitivity value.

1. While continuing to hold down SHIFT, enter the number 1, then press DECIMAL ENTER.

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 ■ When Fixed Velocity is set to a value other 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

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 keyboard 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.

1. 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.

This concludes the basic tour of some of the important functions of the CBX-K1XG. To find out more about how to use your CBX-K1XG, look through the Reference section that follows and try out some of the functions and operations that interest you.

About the Tone Generator of the CBX-K1XG

General MIDI (GM)

General MIDI (GM) is a new addition to the worldwide MIDI standard. The main feature of GM is in the standardization of instrument sounds, ensuring that song data recorded in the GM format can be played back on GM-compatible tone generators of any manufacturer, and sound as the composer or programmer intended.

XG

XG is a major new enhancement to the GM format developed by Yamaha, and it provides for more instrument sounds and variations, as well as greater expressive control over voices and effects. XG-compatible instruments feature full compatibility with GM, while ensuring forward compatibility with future instruments and software.

The CBX-K1XG features four different performance modes: XG, TG300B, C/M and DOC. Normally the CBX-K1XG plays in XG mode. However, since it automatically recognizes which mode to select based on incoming MIDI data, you can easily change the performance mode from the MIDI control functions of the CBX-K1XG itself. (Refer to the following function explanations on pages 30 - 33 : GM Mode On, XG System On, C/M Mode On, and TG300B Reset.) You can also change the mode by MIDI System Exclusive messages that you program in sequencer data, at the head of your composition.

• The DOC mode is a special mode used for playback of Yamaha's Disk Orchestra Collection song data. DOC mode is automatically selected when playing back such song data; however, the mode cannot be selected from the CBX-K1XG itself.

Please note the following:

• 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.

XG Mode

In XG mode the CBX-K1XG will play XG-compatible multitimbral data, as well as multitimbral data created for the GM System Level 1 format.

In XG mode the CBX-K1XG can:

• Play up to 16 Parts.
• Choose from 480 Normal Voices and 11 Drum Voices.

- TG300B Mode

In TG300B mode the CBX-K1XG will play multitimbral music data created for TG300B-compatible tone generators. TG300B mode also provides compatibility with the GM System Level 1 format.

In TG300B mode the CBX-K1XG can:

• Play up to 16 Parts.
• Choose from 579 Normal Voices and 10 Drum Voices.

C/M Mode

The C/M mode provides semi-compatibility with song data recorded for computer music systems preceding the GM Level 1 standard.

In C/M mode the CBX-K1XG can:

• Play up to 16 Parts.
• Choose from 192 Normal Voices and 1 Drum Voices.

NOTE When set to C / M mode, reception over MIDI channel 1 is turned off, and the tone generator Voices will not sound for that channel.

Voices and Elements

A CBX-K1XG Voice can be made up of one or two elements (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.

The number of elements in use determines the maximum number of simultaneous notes (polyphony) which the CBX-K1XG can play at any given time, depending on the amount of incoming MIDI Note data. For details about the number of elements used in each Voice, see the XG Normal Voice List on page App-17.

Maximum Polyphony

The CBX-K1XG can play a maximum of 32 notes polyphony at once. However, the actual number of notes that will play at any given time is determined by the number of elements in use across the 16 Parts.

For example, if you use only one-element Voices, you can achieve the full 32 notes maximum polyphony. If you use one or more two-element Voices, however, maximum polyphony will be reduced accordingly.

The CBX-K1XG is a last-note-priority tone generator, which means that if it receives more than 32 notes of MIDI Note data at any time, earlier (first) notes will automatically be cut off to accommodate the most recent (last) incoming notes.

Part Priority

Each of the CBX-K1XG's 16 Parts corresponds to each of the 16 MIDI channels (1 - 16). If incoming Note data exceeds the maximum polyphony, the CBX-K1XG will prioritize which Parts are played first, in the following order, from higher priority to lower:

• Channel 10 (Drum Part), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16.

Therefore, if you are creating your own music data using sequencer software, you should assign your most important Parts (such as melody and bass) to higher priority MIDI channels (i.e., lower MIDI channel numbers) in order to preserve the integrity of your composition. Note that with the GM System Level 1, the Drum Part is always assigned to MIDI channel 10.

Element Reserve

The CBX-K1XG has an Element Reserve feature that lets you reserve a specified number of notes for certain Parts, in order to keep notes from being “stolen” from those Parts by other Parts if incoming MIDI Note data exceeds maximum

available polyphony.

For example, if you specify an Element Reserve value of "10" for Part 1, then Part 1 will always keep 10 elements for itself. You can set Element Reserve values with MIDI System Exclusive messages (refer to the MIDI Data Format section: XG Native Parameter Change on pages App-9 - 10, and Table 1-5 on pages App-13 - 15).

Selecting Voices

The CBX-K1XG not only contains the 128 basic GM Voices and GM drum set, but many variation Voices as well—to give you access to a total of 737 Normal Voices and 22 Drum Voices.

Voices are selected by specifying a Bank number and a Voice (program) number. Bank numbers and Voice numbers can be selected directly from the keyboard of the CBX-K1XG. (See pages 15 and 16.)

■ Effect Types

The CBX-K1XG features dozens of extremely versatile digital effects generated by Yamaha's advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology.

There are three distinct effect types, or effect sections, each of which include a variety of individual effects. There are 11 Reverb type effects, 11 Chorus type effects, and 42 Variation type effects. For a complete list of effects, see the Effect Type List on page App-26.

Reverb, Chorus and Variation effect types are configured, or routed, in one of two ways—to be either a System Effect or an Insertion Effect. The difference is as follows:

SYSTEM EFFECT

• Applies the designated effect to all 16 Parts.

- INSERTION EFFECT

• Applies the designated effect to only one specific Part.

Reverb and Chorus effect types are dedicated System Effects, and therefore are applied to the overall "mix". The Variation effect type, however, can be configured as either a System Effect or an Insertion Effect. To designate effect types and parameter values via MIDI messages, see XG Native Parameter Change, pages App-9 - 10.

What is MIDI?

MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which allows electronic musical instruments to "communicate" with each other, by sending and receiving compatible Note, Control Change, Program Change and various other types of MIDI data, or messages.

■ MIDI Messages Received by the CBX-K1XG

The CBX-K1XG is controlled by various types of incoming MIDI messages which automatically determine play mode, select MIDI channels, Voices and effects, change parameter values, and of course play the Voices specified for the various Parts—complete with all the subtle nuances and powerful dynamics of expression that the composer originally intended. Below are short explanations of the more important MIDI messages which the CBX-K1XG can transmit and receive. These messages can be transmitted/ received via the MIDI IN/OUT terminals or the TO HOST terminal. Most of the messages can also be "played" or sent to the tone generator directly from the keyboard and controllers of the CBX-K1XG itself.

Key On/Key Off

Key On/Key Off messages, also called Note messages, tell the CBX-K1XG which notes to play, the Velocity value (depending on how hard the keys are struck) at which to play them, and how long to play them—i.e., when to start (On) and stop (Off) playing each note.

Control Change

Control Change messages let you select a Voice bank, control volume, panning, modulation, portamento time, brightness and various other controller parameters, through specific Control Change numbers which correspond to each of the various parameters.

- Program Change

Program Change messages tell the CBX-K1XG which Voice to select for each Part. You can insert Program Change messages at any desired location in a song. Combining Bank Select numbers lets you select various Voices from the hundreds of Voices available in the CBX-K1XG.

Pitch Bend

Pitch Bend messages are continuous controller messages that allow the pitch of designated notes to be raised or lowered by a specified amount over a specified duration.

- Channel After Touch

Channel After Touch is a pressure sensing function which lets you control various functions by how hard you press the keys, over the entire channel.

NOTE The keyboard of the CBX-K1XG does not transmit After Touch messages. However, they can be transmitted from the ASSIGNABLE Wheel (when set to controller number 142 or 143).

- Polyphonic After Touch

Polyphonic After Touch is a pressure sensing function which lets you control various functions by how hard you press the keys, for each individual key.

- System Exclusive

System Exclusive messages control various functions of the CBX-K1XG, including master volume and master tuning, play mode (XG, CM, or TG300B), effect type and various other parameters specifically related to the CBX-K1XG.

NOTE The CBX-K1XG is capable of sending any type of System Exclusive message (via the MIDI OUT or TO HOST terminals). The tone generator likewise can respond to any relevant System Exclusive message (see the MIDI Data Format section for details). However, when the tone generator is controlled directly from the panel and keyboard, it only responds to certain System Exclusive messages.

■ MIDI Data Transmission/Reception Indications

When MIDI data is transmitted or received, the following indications appear in the LED display.

• When a MIDI message is transmitted from the CBX-K1XG:

LED flashes briefly to indicate MIDI message is sent.

• When receiving note on data:

One dot flashes.

• When receiving system exclusive data:

Two dots flash.

• When receiving mode change messages (such as XG, DOC, etc.):

Three dots flash.

NOTE For the above three receive conditions (note on, system exclusive, and mode change), the corresponding dot or dots do not flash when SHIFT is being held down.

Response of the CBX-K1XG During MIDI Buffer Full Errors

When a MIDI buffer full error occurs, the CBX-K1XG responds as follows:

1. Merge is set to OFF.
2. Hold 1 Off, All Note Off, All Sound Off messages are transmitted over all channels.
3. The OCTAVE lamp flashes, indicating a MIDI buffer full error.

Merge-related Notes

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 (<>) will not be merged.
• When the CBX-K1XG is set to send <<F8>> messages, <<F8>> messages from an external device will not be merged.
• When the CBX-K1XG is not set to send <<F8>> messages, <<F8>> messages from an external device can be merged.
• <> will not be merged.
• With the exception of System Exclusive data, messages not conforming to the legal byte format will not be merged. System Exclusive data that doesn't conform to the legal byte format can be merged.

• When Merge is set to on, and RPN/NRPN messages are sent from both the CBX-K1XG and an external device connected to MIDI IN, the resulting messages will be mixed and corrupted.

• When Merge is turned off while a key is held, a stuck note results. This is because the CBX-K1XG simply turns Merge off, without changing the Note On status.

• Running Status bytes are not used. However, incoming Running Status messages are added and transmitted.
• If the incoming Note Off messages include <<8n>> status, the <<8n>> status is merged and output as is. (The CBX-K1XG transmits Note Off messages as <<9n>> status with a velocity of 0.)

During merging of System Exclusive data, all operations from the CBX-K1XG are ignored, and <<FE>> and <<F8>> messages from the CBX-K1XG will be stopped. This may cause some problems, as listed below:

• Any operations executed from the CBX-K1XG, in the middle of a System Exclusive message () sent from an external device, are ignored. CBX-K1XG operations that start before or end after the System Exclusive message will be incomplete. To avoid this problem, be careful not to execute operations from both the CBX-K1XG and the external device at the same time. Also:
• If the Merge function is not needed, turn Merge off or disconnect the MIDI cable.

• Do not operate the CBX-K1XG during reception of large System Exclusive messages, such as bulk dumps.

Many MIDI messages listed in the MIDI Data Format section, beginning on page App-1, are expressed in hexadecimal numbers. The chart lists the corresponding decimal number for each hexadecimal number. (Hexadecimal numbers may include the letter "H" as a suffix.) When entering/transmitting MIDI messages directly from the CBX-K1XG, be sure to press DECIMAL ENTER to send a decimal value and HEXADECIMAL ENTER to send a hexadecimal value.

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.

Many of the functions can be done with one or two keystrokes, while others require you to enter a number value and press one of the ENTER keys to execute the function. All functions can be accessed or executed by using one of the operations described below.

The MIDI functions can be generally divided into three types, according to their operation.

1) Holding SHIFT and pressing the function's key. For these functions, such as Sequencer Stop and Start, pressing ENTER is not necessary. These functions are shown on the panel without underline.

2) Holding SHIFT, pressing the function's key and then ENTER. These functions are indicated with a dashed underline on the panel (for example, GM ON and XG ON) and require pressing ENTER to execute.
3) Holding SHIFT, pressing the function's key, entering a value and then pressing ENTER. These functions are indicated with an underline on the panel (for example, PROGRAM CHANGE and TEMPO), and require that a value (Decimal or Hexadecimal) be entered. When changing a function, the LED display indicates the on/off status or the value of the function.

• In using the SHIFT-related functions, remember: Keep holding down SHIFT until the end of the operation. If SHIFT is released in mid-operation, you'll have to start the operation all over again.

In the instructions that follow, "ENTER" refers to either of the ENTER keys, HEXADECIMAL ENTER or Decimal ENTER. In other words, this means that either key can be used, unless indicated otherwise.

NOTE The LED display and the OCTAVE/OCTAVE lamps flash briefly when a function is executed or a message is sent.

Basic Operations

Selecting Group A and Group B Functions

Selecting Group A Functions:

Hold down SHIFT and press the appropriate key. (See pages 30 - 31 for specific Group A functions and how to use them.)

Selecting Group B Functions:

Hold down SHIFT and press DECIMAL ENTER. The

Group B functions are available as long as you continue to hold down SHIFT. (See pages 32 - 33 for specific Group B functions and how to use them.)

Entering Values

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.

- Entering a decimal value:

Hold down SHIFT, press the appropriate function key, enter the desired value in decimal format, then press DECIMAL ENTER.

- Entering a hexadecimal value:

Hold down SHIFT, press the appropriate function key, enter the desired value in hexadecimal format, then press HEXADECIMAL ENTER.

Example — Setting the MIDI Transmit Channel to 12:

Decimal:

SHIFT + MIDICH → 1 → 2 → DECIMAL ENTER

Hexadecimal:

SHIFT + MIDICH → C → HEXADECIMALENTER

• Also see the Decimal-Hexadecimal Conversion Chart on page 23.)

Value Entry — Some Specific Examples and Anomalies

Using DECIMAL ENTER

Examples:

^1 2 ~ENTER : results in a value of 12.
: results in a value of 10.
^2 : results in a value of 210.
^ 2 : results in a value of 102.
3 ENTER : results in a value of 310, which is ignored since it is outside the legal value range (0-255).

• Entering MSB/LSB Values with DECIMAL ENTER (3 digit bytes for MSB, 3 digit bytes for LSB; 6 digits total message). For messages beginning with zeroes, the first zeroes can be omitted.

Examples:

• 3 ENTER : results in a value of MSB = 000, LSB = 003.
  0 3 ENTER : results in a value of MSB = 000, LSB = 003.
  [ \begin{array}{c} \boxed{1} \rightarrow \boxed{0} \rightarrow \boxed{0} \rightarrow \boxed{3} \rightarrow \boxed{\text{DECIMAL ENTER}} \end{array} ] results in a value of MSB = 001, LSB = 003.
  0 1 0 3 ENTER : results in a value of MSB = 001, LSB = 003.

• Entering MSB/LSB Values with HEXADECIMAL ENTER (2 digit bytes for MSB, 2 digit bytes for LSB; 4 digits total message). For messages beginning with zeroes, the first zeroes can be omitted.

Examples:

• 3 ENTER : results in a value of MSB = 00, LSB = 03.
  0 3 ENTER : results in a value of MSB = 00, LSB = 03.
  1 0 3 : results in a value of MSB = 01 ,LSB = 03
  0 1 0 3 ENTER : results in a value of MSB = 01, LSB = 03.

When entering MSB and LSB values, the LED display alternately flashes the MSB and LSB values.

NOTE The order of MSB and LSB entry can be reversed. (See page 32.)

■ If you inadvertently press two or more function keys while performing a function, the last pressed key has priority.
■ If, after entering a value, you press another function key before pressing ENTER, the value will be cancelled.
If you enter a value that is outside of a function's range, it will be ignored. Legal messages can be one byte in length (a value from 0 - 255).

This section shows by example the operations for the basic functions.

• Unless indicated otherwise, ENTER refers to either of the ENTER keys, HEXADECIMAL ENTER or

DECIMAL ENTER. However, when you wish to enter a decimal value, make sure to press DECIMAL ENTER. Likewise, when entering a hexadecimal number, make sure to press HEXADECIMAL ENTER.

Group A Operations

• Numbers 1 - 3 in the illustration correspond to the operation numbers below.

1

Sending a Simple Command

Operation: SHIFT Function Key

Relevant Functions: Sequencer Stop/Continue/Start; Sound Off

• Example: Sending a Start command to a sequencer or rhythm machine

SHIFT+ START

You can use the STOP and CONTINUE keys in the same way, to stop the sequencer or continue playback from the stopped point.

2

Setting a Simple Command (on/off)

Operation: SHIFT + Function Key

Relevant Functions: Merge On/Off

• Example: Switching the MIDI Merge function of the CBX-K1XG on or off

SHIFT + MERGE ON/OFF

3

Sending a Simple Command with ENTER

Operation: SHIFT + Function Key ENTER

Relevant Functions: GM Mode On; XG System On

• Example: Setting the tone generator to XG Mode

SHIFT + XG ON → ENTER

NOTE Either ENTER key can be used for these commands.

4

Setting a Specific Value for a Function

Operation: SHIFT + Function Key Value ENTER

Relevant Functions: Tempo; Program Change; MIDI

Channel; Fixed Velocity; Controller; Drum Number;

Transpose Down/Up

• Example: Changing the tempo value on a sequencer or rhythm machine

SHIFT + [TEMPO] → [1] → [4] → [0] → [DECIMAL ENTER]

5

Setting a Specific Value for a Function (MSB, LSB)

Operation: SHIFT + Function Key MSB value LSB

value ENTER

Relevant Functions: Bank Select; RPN; NRPN

• Example: This example shows how to use the Bank Select function to select different banks. This example also shows you how to use the functions that require entry of two values: MSB and LSB.

In this example, we'll enter a value of 012 (MSB) 034 (LSB)

NOTE Decimal values of MSB and LSB are 3 digits each (6 digits total); hexadecimal values are 2 digits each. Zeroes must be entered, unless they occur at the beginning of the value. For example, for the decimal value of 001 (MSB) 012 (LSB), the first two zeroes may be omitted, but the third must be entered. In other words, the value could be entered as 1 0 1 2 .

6

Transpose Setting

Operation: SHIFT + TRANSPose / TRANSPose

To transpose up one semitone, use the TRANSPOSE key

(F3). To transpose down one semitone, use the

TRANSPose key (E3). Each repeated pressing of the key while holding SHIFT transposes the pitch by an additional semitone. To restore the normal default transpose setting, hold down SHIFT and press both

TRANSPOSE /TRANSPOSE keys simultaneously.

NOTE You can also enter transpose values directly by using operation 4 above.

7

Setting a Specific Value for a Specific Controller

Operation: SHIFT + Function Key Controller Number

ENTER Value(s) ENTER

Relevant Functions: RPN*; Controller; NRPN*

Functions marked with an asterisk (*) above require that you enter two values: an MSB (Most Significant Byte) and an LSB (Least Significant Byte).

• Example: Changing the Portamento Time of the tone generator's voice to 25.

The operation steps enclosed in brackets () can be repeated or re-entered as long as SHIFT is held.

NOTE This operation assigns a controller number for the ASSIGNABLE Wheel and sends a specific value for that controller number. You can also send a specific value for the controller (in the Group B functions) without altering the controller assignment.

8

Selecting a Drum Number (when editing a specific drum number with controller numbers 131 - 141)

You can use operation 4 above to set the drum number for editing a specific drum number with controller numbers 131 - 141. However, the following operation lets you set the Drum number by playing it from the keyboard. This allows you to hear the drum sound you'll be editing, since the last note played on the keyboard determines the drum sound to be changed.

Without pressing SHIFT, find the desired drum number by sound — by pressing keys on the keyboard. Next, hold down SHIFT, press DRUM NUMBER, then ENTER. This sets the drum number to the last key pressed. Then (to set the controller number for that drum sound), hold down

SHIFT and press CONTROLLER, then enter the controller number (131 through 141). This sets the Controller Number for the Drum parameter you wish to control with the ASSIGNABLE Wheel.

• Unless indicated otherwise, ENTER refers to either of the ENTER keys, HEXADECIMAL ENTER or Decimal ENTER. However, when you wish to enter a

decimal value, make sure to press DECIMAL ENTER. Likewise, when entering a hexadecimal number, make sure to press HEXADECIMAL ENTER.

Group B Operations

Group B function names are not shown on the panel. For the list and explanations of Group B functions, refer to pages 32 - 33.

• Numbers 3 - 14 in the illustration correspond to the operation numbers below.

Example: Sending a Reset All Controllers command to a sequencer or tone generator & DECIMALENTER START (Reset All Controllers)

Example 1: Switching Local control on or off SHIFT + DECIMAL ENTER → MERGE ON/OFF (Local On/Off)
Example 2: Switching the MIDI Merge function of the CBX-K1XG on or off for MIDI channel 12
SHIFT + DECIMAL ENTER → MIDI (Merge On/Off for each channel) → C (for MIDI channel 12)

Keys 1 - and 0 correspond to MIDI channel 1- 15 and 16, respectively. Pressing each key toggles the on/ off status of each channel.

Example: Sending the current CBX-K1XG settings to a MIDI storage device or sequencer with the Bulk Dump Out function
SHIFT + DECIMAL ENTER → BANK SELECT (Bulk Dump Out) → ENTER

Example: Changing the touch sensitivity of the CBX-K1XG to 10
SHIFT + DECIMAL ENTER → FIXED VELOCITY (Touch Sensitivity) →
1 → 0 → ENTER

13

Setting a Specific Value for a Function (MSB, LSB)

Operation: SHIFT + DECIMAL ENTER → Function Key →

Values ENTER

Relevant Function: Song Position Pointer

• Example: Changing the song position pointer setting on a sequencer to MSB = 12 , LSB = 34

SHIFT + DECIMAL ENTER → CONTINUE (Song Position Pointer) →

0 → 1 → 2 → 0 → 3 → 4 → DECIMAL ENTER

NOTE Decimal values of MSB and LSB are 3 digits each (6 digits total); hexadecimal values are 2 digits each. Zeroes must be entered, unless they occur at the beginning of the value. For the example above, the first zero may be omitted, but the second must be entered. In other words, the value could be entered as

1 2 0 3 4.

14

Setting a Specific Value for a Specific Controller

Operation: SHIFT Decimal ENTER Function Key

Controller Number ENTER Value(s) ENTER

Relevant Functions: RPN Direct Data Send*; Controller

Direct Data Send; NRPN Direct Data Send*

Functions marked with an asterisk (*) above require

that you enter two values: an MSB (Most Significant

• Example: Changing the Portamento Time of the tone generator's voice to 25.

SHIFT + DECIMAL ENTER → CONTROLLER → (Portamento

Time) ENTER {2 5 ENTER}

The operation steps enclosed in brackets () can be repeated or re-entered as long as SHIFT is held.

NOTE This operation assigns a controller number for the ASSIGNABLE Wheel without altering the controller assignment.

Sending a Single-Byte Data Message

This function allows you to quickly and easily send a non-standard MIDI message of a single byte. The effective range of this function is from 0-255; values outside of this range will be ignored.

Operation: SHIFT + DECIMAL ENTER → Value → ENTER

15

Example: Sending a (decimal) value of 252

SHIFT + DECIMAL ENTER → {2 → 5 → 2 →

DECIMALENTER}

The operation steps enclosed in brackets () can be repeated or re-entered as long as SHIFT is held.

Press and hold SHIFT while performing the operation steps for the desired Group A function.

Footnotes

1 When entering Bank numbers, the internal tone generator ignores invalid Bank numbers (even if the Bank on a connected tone generator has changed).
2 The actual program change number transmitted by the CBX-K1XG is the displayed number minus 1. For example, program number 001 on the display is actually transmitted as 000.

When entering program numbers, the internal tone generator ignores invalid program numbers (even if the

program on a connected tone generator has changed). When stepping up or down through program numbers, "empty" programs or Voices in a Bank are skipped, and the next available program is automatically selected. Program numbers can also be selected without pressing PROGRAM CHANGE (by entering only the value and pressing ENTER).

*3 When a MIDI buffer full error message results, MIDI Merge is automatically set to OFF.
