The CBX-K1XGWhat It Is and What It Can Do

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 CBXK1XG 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) computereliminating 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 parameterssuch as Volume, Pan, Brightness, and the Depth of various effectsin 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 parametersvia 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.

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.

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 C and press M (to advance one program number), or press N (to go back one program number). IMPORTANT! s Always release C before playing the CBX-K1XG keyboard. Holding down C accesses the secondary or hidden functions, and you may inadvertently execute one of these functions by playing the keyboard while continuing to hold down C. NOTE s 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.
The program number in the LED display changes accordingly, and the OCTAVE SHIFT lamps quickly flash on and off. Release C, and play the keyboard to hear the newly selected Voice. 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.
To directly select a specific Voice number: Simultaneously hold down C, press the keys corresponding to the desired Voice number, then the K key.
For example, to select Voice number 017, continue holding down C and press 1, 7, then K. Release C, and play the keyboard to hear the newly selected Voice.
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. 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! s 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

Using the SHIFT-Related Functions Basic Operations
Selecting Group A and Group B Functions
q Selecting Group A Functions: Hold down C and press the appropriate key. (See pages for specific Group A functions and how to use them.) q Selecting Group B Functions: Hold down C and press K. The Group B functions are available as long as you continue to hold down C. (See pages for specific Group B functions and how to use them.) q Entering MSB/LSB Values with K (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 K: results in a value of MSB = 000, LSB = 003. * K: results in a value of MSB = 000, LSB = 003. * K: results in a value of MSB = 001, LSB = 003. * 3 K: results in a value of MSB = 001, LSB = 003.

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. q Entering a decimal value: Hold down C, press the appropriate function key, enter the desired value in decimal format, then press K. q Entering a hexadecimal value: Hold down C, press the appropriate function key, enter the desired value in hexadecimal format, then press J. Example Setting the MIDI Transmit Channel to 12:
Decimal: C+{12K Hexadecimal: C+{cJ
q Entering MSB/LSB Values with J (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.
* 3 J: results in a value of MSB = 00, LSB = 03. * J: results in a value of MSB = 00, LSB = 03. * 3 J: results in a value of MSB = 01, LSB = 03. * J: 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 s The order of MSB and LSB entry can be reversed. (See page 32.) NOTES ON THE BASIC OPERATION s If you inadvertently press two or more function keys while performing a function, the last pressed key has priority. s If, after entering a value, you press another function key before pressing L, the value will be cancelled. s If you enter a value that is outside of a functions range, it will be ignored. Legal messages can be one byte in length (a value from 0 - 255).

* Also see the Decimal-Hexadecimal Conversion Chart on page 23.)
Value Entry Some Specific Examples and Anomalies

q Using K

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

Setting the Functions

This section shows by example the operations for the basic functions. * Unless indicated otherwise, L refers to either of the ENTER keys, J or K. However, when you wish to enter a decimal value, make sure to press K. Likewise, when entering a hexadecimal number, make sure to press J.

The CBX-K1 What It Is and What It Can Do

What It Is

The CBX-K1 is a compact, highly portable 37-key MIDI keyboard, designed especially for use with computers and MIDI music systems. The CBX-K1 does not generate any sound itself, but can be used as a keyboard controller for playing sounds on a connected tone generator or rhythm machine. Its also ideal for recording to sequencers and computers. The keyboard is touch-sensitive and its octave range can be changed to cover the full 128-note MIDI range. The true power and flexibility of the CBX-K1 is in its comprehensive MIDI controls. The CBX-K1 allows you to send virtually any type of MIDI message to connected MIDI 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. Most importantly, though, the CBX-K1 has an 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 on your connected tone generator 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 CBX-K1 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-K1, you have direct real-time control over many of these newly supported functions and parameters.

What It Can Do

Here are a few application ideas on how you can use the CBX-K1. The list below is not comprehensive, but is meant to be a general guide to the possibilities and provide a starting point or springboard for your own creative ideas and explorations.
q Using With a MIDI Tone Generator
In one of the most basic setups, you can play a connected tone generator from the CBX-K1. Because its so compact and portable, you can even use it as a hand-held keyboard for live performance.
q Using as a Second Keyboard or Dedicated MIDI Controller
The CBX-K1 is small enough to fit on top of nearly any keyboard, making it perfect as a second keyboard. Since the CBX-K1 has a MIDI IN terminal, you can connect it between your main keyboard and your tone generator, and use the extensive MIDI capabilities of the CBX-K1 for greater expressive control during your performance.

q q Keyboard

The CBX-K1 has a 37-key, 3-octave keyboard (C2 to C5), featuring initial touch (velocity) control. All note on, note off and velocity data is transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal. When used with the C button, the keys are used for changing various settings and sending special MIDI messages. (See page 12.) About the Functions of the CBX-K1: 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 12 and 20. 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 CBXK1 can be done in two number systems: Decimal and Hexadecimal. The keys labeled A through F are for Hexadecimal entry. NOTE s The normal (default) velocity range of the CBX-K1 is from 16 to 127. The range differs according to the Touch Sensitivity setting (see page 20). 4

w PITCH Wheel (Pitch Bend)
This spring-loaded Wheel controls Pitch Bend. The Wheels operation can be reversed. (See page 20.)

e ASSIGNABLE Wheel

When the CBX-K1 is turned on, this Wheel (with center detent) is set to control Modulation Depth on the connected MIDI device. It can be set to control other functions; see pages 18 and 22 for details. The Wheels operation can be reversed. (See page 20.)

r C Button

This button is used to access the hidden functions of the CBX-K1. Used with the N / M buttons, it allows you to step up or down through program numbers. (See page 10.) Used with the keys of the keyboard, it allows you to access the sophisticated MIDI control functions. (See page 12.)

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). (See page 5.) Press both of these buttons together to restore the normal octave setting (C2 to C5). With the C button, these buttons can also be used to step up or down through program numbers on the connected MIDI device. (See page 10.)

y V / B Lamps

These lamps provide several indications: * During normal playing conditions, these indicate the octave setting of the keyboard, up (B) or down (V). 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 11.) * When using some of the hidden functions, these flash when a MIDI message is transmitted or when a function is executed. * The left lamp flashes slowly when the battery power is too low for proper operation. * The right lamp flashes quickly when there is some kind of MIDI receive error. The lamp flashes until you turn the power off and on again, or until you set MIDI Merge to ON. (See page 24.)

Using Batteries

To use the CBX-K1 on battery power, remove the battery compartment cover (as shown below) and insert six 1.5V AA size (SUM-3, R-6 or equivalent) manganese or alkaline batteries in the battery compartment. Make sure to follow the polarity indications on the bottom case.

Using a Power Adaptor

Connect one end of the power adaptor (the optional) Yamaha PA-1B or PA-3) to the DC IN jack on the rear panel, and the other end to a suitable electrical outlet.
Battery compartment cover

OFF (?)

Power adaptor (PA-1B or PA-3)
Securely replace the battery compartment cover when done installing the batteries.
When to Replace the Batteries
CAUTION! s Do not attempt to use a power adaptor other than the PA-1B or PA-3. The use of an incompatible adaptor may result in irreparable damage to the CBX-K1, and even pose a serious shock hazard. s Be sure to disconnect the power adaptor from the outlet when the CBX-K1 is not in use. When the battery power runs too low to properly operate the CBX-K1, the V lamp will flash slowly. When this happens, replace all batteries with a complete set of six new batteries of the same type. CAUTION! s NEVER mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries! Also, to prevent possible damage due to battery leakage, remove the batteries from the instrument if it is not to be used for an extended period of time. IMPORTANT s Turning the power off and on again resets all settings to the factory default, cancelling all user settings.
When using your CBX-K1 for the first time, read through this short section of the manual. It guides you step-by-step in using many of the basic operations: setting the instrument up, connecting it properly to other equipment, and most importantly playing it.

Setting Up Your CBX-K1

In this introductory section, youll learn how to set up the CBX-K1 for use in your music system. A variety of setups are covered here; read through the one that most closely matches your own setup. For tone generators with a built-in MIDI interface (such as the Yamaha MU80)

CBX-K1 Computer

What Youll Need

With Tone Generator

In the simple system below, the CBX-K1 is used to play the voices of the MU80 Tone Generator. This setup could also serve as a simple, yet powerful live performance rig, with the CBX-K1 being used as a portable, hand-held keyboard.
In a variation of the above setup, set the Clavinova and CBX-K1 to transmit on the same channel, and set the CBXK1s MIDI Merge function to ON. This lets you play the tone generator from either keyboard and use the versatile MIDI functions of the CBX-K1 to control the tone generator for example, changing the brightness of the sound in real time with the ASSIGNABLE Wheel. NOTE s When an external MIDI device is connected to the MIDI IN of the CBX-K1, the B lamp may flash, indicating a MIDI error. This is probably due to a longer-than-normal interval between active sensing messages received from the device. To remedy this, set the MIDI Merge of the CBX-K1 to ON. (See page 24.)

Making the Connections

CAUTION! s Before making any connections, make sure that all equipment to be connected is turned off.
Connect the MIDI OUT terminal on the CBX-K1 to the MIDI IN terminal on the MU80.
With Main Keyboard and Tone Generator
In this system, the CBX-K1 effectively serves as a second keyboard. The main keyboard (in this case, the Clavinova) is used to play both its own internal sounds and the sounds of the connected multi-timbral tone generator on one channel, while the CBX-K1 is used to play the sounds of the tone generator on another channel. This lets you play two sounds at once from the Clavinova, and play a third sound from the CBX-K1.
Operation 1. Connect the MIDI OUT terminal of the CBX-K1 to the MIDI
IN terminal of the tone generator, sequencer or computer MIDI interface (as shown in the illustrations above).
2. Make all necessary audio connections, making sure first
that all level controls on those devices are set to the minimum. (Refer to the owners manuals of the devices you are using for more information on connections.)
3. Finally, turn on the power of the CBX-K1, then turn on
the power of the connected equipment. (If necessary, follow the order as recommended in the owners manuals of the devices you are using.) When turning off the power, be sure to turn off the CBX-K1 last. 9

The MIDI functions can be generally divided into three types, according to their operation.
1) Holding C and pressing the functions key. For
these functions, such as Sequencer Stop and Start, pressing L is not necessary. These functions are shown on the panel without underline.

GENERAL

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 GMcompatible tone generators of any manufacturer, and sound as the composer or programmer intended.

q About RPN and NRPN
Registered Parameter Numbers (RPN) are controllers that have been added to the MIDI specification and are common among various MIDI devices of different manufacturers. Unlike the Control Change numbers, these use messages composed of three bytes: MSB, LSB and Data Entry. Non-Registered Parameter Numbers (NRPN) are controllers that have been created by one or more manufacturers, but have not been added to the MIDI specification. Thus, NRPN functions may be found on some instruments and not others. The NRPN functions of the CBXK1 support all XG-compatible devices. Unlike the Control Change numbers, these use messages composed of three bytes: MSB, LSB and Data Entry. Other RPN or NRPN messages not provided on the panel can be transmitted using the RPN or NRPN functions in Group A and B.
Explanation Song Select command for sequencer/rhythm machine. Song Position Pointer for sequencer/rhythm machine. This resets all MIDI controller values to their reset values (minimum or center). This turns all sounds off over all MIDI channels. To turn all sounds off for one specific MIDI channel, use SOUND OFF in Group A. This performs a GM-B reset on a connected tone generator. (This affects only certain tone generators, making their operation compatible with the Yamaha TG300.) This merges all data received over the selected MIDI channel with the data generated by the CBX-K1. This function can be set independently for each channel. This determines the relative velocity sensitivity of the CBX-K1 keyboard. The lower the Touch Sensitivity value, the higher the output velocity becomes. In other words, when this is set to a value near 0, the less playing strength that is needed to get a louder sound from a connected tone generator. This allows you to directly send a specific value for a selected RPN controller number, without altering the current controller assignment of the ASSIGNABLE Wheel. This allows you to directly send a specific value for a selected Control Change controller number, without altering the current controller assignment of the ASSIGNABLE Wheel. This allows you to directly send a specific value for a selected NRPN controller number, without altering the current controller assignment of the ASSIGNABLE Wheel. This determines the Device Number when independently transmitting certain messages (such as XG On and Master Tuning) to more than one connected MIDI devices. This inverts the operation of both Wheels, for ease in playing the CBX-K1 as a hand-held keyboard. An alternate way to change this setting is to simultaneously hold down N and turn on the power. This inverts the MSB/LSB entry (so that LSB precedes MSB). An alternate way to change this setting is to simultaneously hold down M and turn on the power. This sends a data message of a single byte. (See page 17.)

Troubleshooting

Even though the CBX-K1 is easy to use, it may occasionally not function as you expect it to. If that happens, check the possible problems and solutions below before assuming that the instrument is faulty.
q (Problem) (Possible Cause and Solution) q Specific functions/messages cannot be executed or sent properly. While holding down C in the middle of an operation, you may have inadvertently released C. Make sure to hold down C for the duration of the operation. q A certain function does not respond or work properly. The connected MIDI device may not support the relevant function on the CBX-K1. q Incoming data is not merged. Make sure that Merge is set to ON. Make sure also that the Merge on/off function in Group B is set to ON for the relevant MIDI channel. q Some messages cannot be merged. Please refer to the Merge-related Notes in the MIDI Data Format section, page 24. q Merge is inadvertently set to OFF. When there is some kind of MIDI receive error, Merge is automatically turned off. Please also refer to the Mergerelated Notes in the MIDI Data Format section, page 24. q When turning Merge off, the connected tone generator continues to sound. Please refer to the Merge-related Notes in the MIDI Data Format section, page 24. q The connected device does not respond to MIDI clock messages, or MIDI clock messages are not sent. Make sure that the Tempo setting on the CBX-K1 is set to a value other than 0. Also make sure that the connected device is set properly for receiving MIDI clock messages. If another device is connected to the MIDI IN of the CBX-K1 and that device is sending the MIDI clock messages, Merge must be set to ON. q With Merge set to ON, tempo change messages sent from an external device have no effect. If an external device is connected to the MIDI IN of the CBXK1, and the CBX-K1 is sending MIDI clock messages, the external device cannot be used to send MIDI clock messages. q Sending a bank select message also sends a program change message. This is normal. The CBX-K1 automatically sends the currently set program change number together with a bank select message. q The RPN or NRPN controller number assigned to the ASSIGNABLE Wheel doesnt function properly. q The RPN or NRPN direct data send function doesnt work properly. Please refer to the Merge-related Notes in the MIDI Data Format section, page 24. q When the power is turned off and on again, the settings you made have been cancelled. This is normal. The CBX-K1 has no internal memory backup. q Octave Shift function has no effect. Octave Shift cannot be changed while a key is being held down. q The B lamp flashes, indicating a MIDI error. There may be a problem with incoming Active Sensing messages. (See the Note on page 9.) A MIDI device connected to MIDI IN may have been turned off, or the connecting MIDI cable may have been unplugged or damaged. Make sure not to connect a MIDI cable to the MIDI IN while executing a function on the CBX-K1. Too much MIDI data (exceeding the receive capability of the CBX-K1) may have been received at MIDI IN. q Instead of both V / B lamps flashing (indicatiing proper execution of an operation), only the V lamp flashes. The battery power is too low for proper operation. Replace all batteries. q The keyboard is not touch sensitive. Make sure that Fixed Velocity is set to 0. q The Fixed Velocity setting has no effect. Tne Fixed Velocity setting is inactive when Velocity is assigned to the ASSIGNABLE Wheel. q The Tempo setting has no effect. Tne Tempo setting is inactive when Tempo is assigned to the ASSIGNABLE Wheel. q The All Sound Off function has no effect. All Sound Off in the Group A functions only applies to the cureently selected MIDI channel. Also, some tone generators may not respond to the All Sound Off message. q The rightmost five keys of the keyboard do not sound at the expected pitch. When set to the highest octave range, the rightmost five keys are set to play notes Gm4 (80) through C5 (84). q Even when Touch Sensitivity is active, the effective velocity range is narrower than expected. Please refer to Footnote #2 on page 21 for details on velocity range. q Some of the keys do not respond to after touch pressure when playing several notes simultaneously. Polyphonic Key Pressure After Touch applies only to the highest note played.

q Response of the CBX-K1 During MIDI Errors
When a MIDI reception error occurs (such as buffer full, Active Sensing, interruption of System Exclusive, etc.), the CBX-K1 responds as follows: 1. Merge is set to OFF. 2. The MIDI transmit/receive buffer is cleared. 3. Damper Off, All Note Off, All Sound Off messages are transmitted over all channels. 4. Transmission of messages (including <<FE>> and <<F8>>) are interrupted for approximately 0.8 seconds. During this time, operations from the CBX-K1 are ignored. 5. The B lamp flashes, indicating a MIDI error.
