Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha KX25 / KX49 / KX61 / KX8 USB KEYBOARD STUDIO. Included in the package are the KX MIDI keyboard for controlling a computer via USB as well as the DAW application software, Cubase AI4. Simply connect the KX to a computer via USB, and youve got a comprehensive control center and seamless environment for complete music production. In order to take full advantage of the KXs superior functionality and enjoy years of trouble-free use, please read this manual before you begin using the product. Also, keep this book in a safe place for future reference.

Features

Link with Cubase
The KX keyboard is equipped with link functions specifically designed for Cubase software (Cubase 4, Studio 4, Essential 4 and AI4), providing tremendous efficiency and speed in your workflow.
Track operations on VST plug-in instruments (VSTi)
The KX has no built-in tone generator; it is a keyboard controller designed to play the sounds of VST plug-in instruments (VSTi) on your connected computer. The KX lets you conveniently perform certain VSTi operations in your DAW directly from the KX panel, including creating tracks and selecting programs (instrument voices).
Four knobs for real-time control of various parameters
These versatile knobs give you real-time control over parameters in your VSTi software. Simply select the Control Template for the VSTi you wish to control (30 pre-programmed templates are built in), and you can use the four knobs to control the sound of your VSTi remotely. Many popular VSTi are covered by the templates; however, you can also create/customize your own to use with your favorite VSTi.

Synthesizer, tone generator, sequencer, etc.
Once all software and drivers have been properly installed (pages 1315), and with the initial default settings (MIDI Select = USB, on page 37; MIDI Thru = MIDI USB, on page 38), the KX can control the DAW software on your computer via a USB cable. This allows you to play the voices of plug-in instruments (including VSTi) on your computer from the keyboard of the KX. Also, MIDI messages generated on a connected MIDI device (such as the synthesizer shown above) can be transmitted through the KX to the computer. This allows you to play back songs on a MIDI device and have the voices of your plug-in software sound. When the MIDI Select parameter (page 37) is set to MIDI, the USB connector will be inactive. This means that MIDI communication is only possible via the MIDI connectors (and not via USB). In the example illustration above, this setting lets you play the sound of the tone generator from the KX keyboard.
