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.
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 INSTRU-
MENT 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.
● HANDLE THE INSTRUMENT WITH CARE
Although the instrument has been constructed to withstand the
rigors of normal use for optimum sturdiness and reliability,
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 multi-
timbral 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 perfor-
mance 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. More-over, 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.

The CBX-K1XG—What 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) 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, C and
M.
* The functions and features assigned to the keyboard are shown like this: T and {.
* 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.
* Operation steps are indicated as follows:

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 C 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 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 CBXK1XG 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).
This spring-loaded Wheel controls Pitch Bend. The
Wheel’s operation can be reversed. (See page 32.)
e 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.
r C Button
This button is used to access the “hidden” functions of the
CBX-K1XG. Used with the N /M 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.)
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). 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).

y V / B Lamps
These lamps provide several indications:
• During normal playing conditions, these (along with the
LED display) 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 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.)
u 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 C + Q.)
• Show the current condition or value. (Ex.: When
pressing C + R.) It also displays the
entered value when changing a function’s setting.
