Welcome to the CBX-K1

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Yamaha CBX-K1 MIDI Keyboard!

The CBX-K1 is a sophisticated, yet compact MIDI keyboard controller, for use with computers and MIDI music systems. It allows you to play connected tone generators and rhythm machines, and 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-K1 has a versatile ASSIGNABLE Wheel that lets you control a wide variety of parameters on your connected tone generator or sequencer in real time. Because of its exceptionally portable size, convenient battery/AC adaptor power supply, compatibility with General MIDI (GM) and XG, and extraordinarily powerful and comprehensive MIDI control functions, the CBX-K1 is an invaluable tool — a MIDI Swiss army knife, of sorts

— for all MIDI musicians and performers.

IMPORTANT ■ The CBX-K1 does not contain an internal tone generator. In order to play sounds from the CBX-K1, you need an external tone generator, such as the Yamaha MU series or TG series tone generators.

NOTE ■ The many MIDI functions and features of the CBX-K1 may not be supported by your particular MIDI device. Be sure to refer to the owner’s manual of your particular MIDI device when using it with the CBX-K1.

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. It’s 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.

● 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 it’s so compact and portable, you can even use it as a hand-held keyboard for live performance.

● 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.

● Using in a MIDI Music System

Combined with a laptop computer and a compact tone generator (like the General MIDI/XG-compatible Yamaha MU80), the CBX-K1 gives you comprehensive music making power — for recording, composing, arranging, practicing, and editing — in a portable system that’s ready to go wherever you go. The CBX-K1 is an ideal addition to larger MIDI studios as well, since it provides far greater MIDI control and flexibility than nearly any other keyboard controller. Use it along side your main MIDI keyboard as a kind of MIDI Swiss army knife — sending necessary MIDI messages, working the real-time controllers, or editing already recorded sequencer tracks.

● Multimedia

Since it’s portable and compatible with the General MIDI and XG formats, the CBX-K1 is a natural for multimedia applications. Because of its ease of use and comprehensive functions, it’s the only keyboard you’ll ever need for recording and editing MIDI data on your multimedia creations.

Precautions

Your CBX-K1 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 recommended PA-1B or PA-3 Power Adaptor for supplying power. Use of another adaptor may cause serious damage to the instrument or the adaptor itself. Also avoid using a multiple-plug 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-K1 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-K1 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.

● MIDI CABLES

When connecting the instrument to other MIDI equipment, be sure to use only high-quality cables made especially for MIDI data transmission. Also, avoid using cables longer than 15 meters, since long cables can result in data errors.

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

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 Cbutton, 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 Lis 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 ■ 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).

w PITCH Wheel (Pitch Bend)

This spring-loaded Wheel controls Pitch Bend. The Wheel’s 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 Wheel’s operation can be reversed. (See page 20.)

r CButton

This button is used to access the “hidden” functions of the CBX-K1. Used with the N/ Mbuttons, 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/ MButtons

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 Cbutton, these buttons can also be used to step up or down through program numbers on the connected MIDI device. (See page 10.)
