pressed in step 9. A rhythm pattern different from the previous three patterns starts.
11. Finally, press the C located a fourth above
the G pressed in step 10 (the highest C of the KX25). The rhythm pattern same as that played in step 7 starts.
In this way you can play different rhythms from the same Arpeggio type simply by playing just a few notes. In fact, you can create the rhythmic basis for a complete song by letting each rhythm repeat for several measures and changing patterns as desired. Each of the Arpeggio types in the Category DrPc (selected with the default initial setting) features four different rhythm patterns recorded respectively to four different tracks. Each of these patterns is assigned to a specific area of the keyboard. You can call up the desired pattern by pressing any note in a specific area, as shown below. For these DrPc (Drum/Percussion) Arpeggio types, the keyboard of the KX is divided into four six-note groups, each group having a different rhythm pattern. The note ranges of these four groups are: C F, F# B, C F, F# Band so on, repeating up the keyboard. Playing any note in the group will trigger the assigned Arpeggio/rhythm pattern. On the KX61, for example, the rhythm patterns are assigned to note groups like this: C1 F1 : Track 1 rhythm pattern F#1 B1 : Track 2 rhythm pattern C2 F2 : Track 3 rhythm pattern F#2 B2 : Track 4 rhythm pattern C3 F3 : Track 1 rhythm pattern (and so on up the keyboard.)
Each note on the keyboard has a note name like C3, D3, and E3 according to the octave. This octave setting can be shifted by using the [OCTAVE] buttons. For details, see page 27.

Controlling the VSTi by Using the CONTROL Knobs

Operating the CONTROL knobs on the KX panel edits or controls various parameters of the VSTi used on the computer. The KX provides 30 Control Templates which can be used for various VSTi plug-ins. By selecting the desired one from 30 Control Templates, you can assign the functions appropriate for the current VSTi to the CONTROL knobs. When using Cubase, any time you select an Instrument track or select a MIDI track for which the destination is set to VSTi, or change the VSTi assigned to the current track, the Control Template on the KX will automatically change. This means that you need not select the Control Template manually when using Cubase.
Use these knobs to adjust the values of the VSTi parameters. A total of eight different parameters can be controlled. Pressing the Function Select button switches between the two groups of parameter assignments.
Use this button to switch the parameters to be adjusted via the CONTROL knobs (between parameters 14 and 58). These lamps indicate which parameter set (14 or 58) is assigned to the CONTROL knobs.
When the Top display is shown, the names of the parameters to be adjusted via the CONTROL knobs are shown normally. When controlling the knob, the values of the parameters are shown for a while, then the original display appears again. You can scroll the display to confirm the entire parameter name by pressing the [EXIT] button. Using the Automation function of Cubase lets you record your knob operations to an Instrument track. For details about the Automation function, refer to the Cubase owners manual.
For details about the available Control Template, refer to the Control Template List on page 45. The time that the value remains displayed can be changed. For details, refer to Utility Settings on page 36. When using a DAW other than Cubase, you need to change the Control Template manually on the KX.
Changing the functions assigned to the CONTROL knobs
When using the VSTi compatible with VST3 in Cubase, you can change the functions assigned to the CONTROL knobs via the following operation.

1. 2. 3.

On the computer, move the mouse cursor to the VSTi controller whose function you want to assign to one of the CONTROL knobs. On the KX, hold the Knob Functions Select button then rotate one of the CONTROL knobs to which the function of the VSTi controller selected in step 1 is assigned. (Learning knob.) is shown on the display. On the KX, release the Knob Functions Select button. The function of the VSTi controller selected in step 1 is assigned to the knob rotated in step 2.
When using the VSTi which is not compatible with VST3, you can assign the desired function to the CONTROL knobs by using the KX Editor (even though you cannot do this from the KX panel).
Controlling the Transport and Tracks

Power Supply

The KX can be powered from one of the following two power supplies. Power supply from the AC power adaptor Power supply from the connected host computer (USB bus-power)
Using the KX as a USB bus-powered device
The KX is the bus-powered type device which can be powered by the host computer connected via a USB cable. In this case, the AC power adaptor is not necessary.

1. 2. 3.

Connecting the AC Power Adaptor 1. Make sure that the STANDBY/ON switch of
the KX is in the STANDBY position.
Make sure that the STANDBY/ON switch of the KX is in the STANDBY position. Connect a computer to the USB TO HOST connector of the KX by using a USB cable. Start the computer.
While the KX is turned ON, the computer connected to the KX via USB cannot enter the power-saving mode (such as sleep and suspended) even if you do not operate the computer for a long time. This situation vampires the power of the computer although you do not use the computer. Especially when the computer is powered by the battery (not the power adaptor), make sure that the STANDBY/ ON switch of the KX is in the STANDBY position to save the power consumption. The USB bus-power function can be used only when connecting the KX to a computer directly without using a hub or connecting the KX to a computer via a self-powered USB hub. This function cannot be used when connecting the KX to a computer via a bus-powered USB hub. The USB bus-power function will not work when using the AC adaptor.
Connect the plug of the power adaptor to the DC IN terminal on the rear panel. Plug the power adaptor into a standard household power outlet.
