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).

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.

■ Setting Up the CBX-K1XG in Your Music System
Whatever your system, you should follow the basic instructions below when setting up your
CBX-K1XG. Use the example illustrations as a general guide when making the connections
with your own system.
Power Supply
Guided Tour
Your CBX-K1XG will run from the included power adaptor, PA-3B, PA-1207 or an equivalent. Alkaline batteries
can also be used (see below). However, we strongly recommend that you use the power adaptor, since the CBX-K1XG
runs only for a short time on battery power.
NOTE
■
Before making any connections, make sure that
all equipment to be connected is turned off, and
unplugged.
Using a Power Adaptor
Connect one end of the power adaptor (PA-3B, PA-1207 or
an equivalent) to the DC IN jack on the rear panel, and the
other end to a suitable electrical outlet.
CAUTION!
■
Do not attempt to use a power adaptor other than
those specified above. The use of an incompatible
adaptor may result in irreparable damage to the CBXK1XG, and even pose a serious shock hazard.
■
Be sure to disconnect the power adaptor from the
outlet when the CBX-K1XG is not in use.
Using Alkaline Batteries
To use the CBX-K1XG on battery power, remove the
battery compartment cover (as shown below) and insert six
1.5V LR6 size alkaline batteries in the battery compartment. Make sure to follow the polarity indications on the
bottom case.
Battery compartment cover
Securely replace the battery compartment cover when done
installing the batteries.
OFF (?)
DC IN
When to Replace the Batteries
When the battery power runs too low to properly operate
the CBX-K1XG, an “ Err” message appears in the LED
display. When this happens, replace all batteries with a
complete set of six new alkaline batteries of the same type.
CAUTION! ■ 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.

This section of the manual guides you through some of the
basic features and functions of the CBX-K1XG. It also
provides some advanced operation examples, so that you
can get a feel for what the CBX-K1XG is capable of, and
how you can best use it. Master the basics in this section,
and you’ll have the experience and know-how to easily and
confidently use any of the more advanced functions covered
later in the Reference section.
Playing the Demo Song
Once you’ve set up the CBX-K1XG properly, try playing
the built-in Demo Song. This specially recorded song
showcases the high-quality Voices and the AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2) tone generation system of the
CBX-K1XG. It also demonstrates the multi-timbral capacity and the use of effects and MIDI control. Though the
CBX-K1XG has no sequence recording capabilities of its
own, the Demo Song shows what can be done by using
only a sequencer and a single CBX-K1XG.
In this section, you’ll learn how to:
• Play the special Demo Song.
• Select and play the Voices of the internal tone
generator.
• Select Voices from other Voice Banks.
• Select drum Voices.
• Change the octave setting of the keyboard.
• Use the PITCH and ASSIGNABLE Wheels.
• Re-assign the controller for the ASSIGNABLE
Wheel.
• Change the Touch Sensitivity of the keyboard.
• Connect and use an external audio source with the
CBX-K1XG.
To start playback of the Demo Song, hold down

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).
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.
To continue playing the Demo Song from the stopped
point, hold down C and press W. To start

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!
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
Simultaneously hold down C and press
1.
T.
The LED display indicates the current Bank setting by
alternately flashing the MSB and LSB values. (In this
case, the default setting, both of these values are 000.)
■
For the sake of the operation example
While continuing to hold down C, enter the
2.
number 64 (press 6, then 4), then press
K.
MSB value LSB value
The display alternately
flashes the MSB and
LSB values.
This sets the Bank to 064 (LSB value). The LED
display alternately flashes the MSB and LSB values,
000 and 064. If you’ve selected Voice number 17
before changing banks, the newly selected Bank’s Voice
should sound different from the original Voice.
NOTE ■ For the internal tone generator, only the LSB
value need be set. For information on setting both the
MSB and LSB, see page 27.
To restore the original Bank (or select other Banks), hold
down C, press T, 0 (or another
number for a different Bank), and K. (Alternately, simply turn the CBX-K1XG off and on again to
reset the instrument to its default settings; see page 7.) For
a list of the other Banks and their Voices, see page App-17.
Selecting Drum Voices
The CBX-K1XG also features 22 different drum Voices,
and each contains various drum and percussion sounds
assigned individually to the keys. (For a list of the available drum Voices and their individual drum/percussion
sounds, see page App-23.)
16
■ Normal Voices and Drum Voices
The CBX-K1XG has two types of Voices—Normal
Voices and Drum Voices. (In this Owner ’s Manual,
in general the word Voice refers to a Normal Voice.)
The distinction between a Normal Voice and a Drum
Voice is as follows:
• A Normal Voice is simply a pitched Voice which
can be played on a musical scale from low to
high, such as a piano or trumpet. The CBXK1XG has 737 Normal Voices.
• A Drum Voice is a complete set of drum and
other percussion sounds, each sound having a
fixed pitch. Each sound is assigned to a specific
MIDI Note number (which also corresponds to a
key on a MIDI keyboard). The CBX-K1XG has
22 Drum Voices.
Playing and Using Your CBX-K1XG
Operation
First select MIDI channel 10 (the default drum
1.
channel). To do this, simultaneously hold down
C and press the following keys in order:
— {
— 1
— 0
— K
Finally, release C. The MIDI channel should now
be set to 10. Play the keyboard now to hear the various
drum sounds. Try also changing the octave setting (see
Changing the Octave Range below) and playing the
other sounds as well.
Changing the Octave Range
To select different drum Voices, hold down C
2.
and use the N/M buttons.
To select and play normal Voices again, set the MIDI
channel to a value other than 10. For example, hold down
C and press {, 1, and K.
(Or, simply turn the CBX-K1XG off and on again—doing
this resets the instrument to its default settings; see page 7.)
The range of the 3-octave keyboard can be easily shifted up
or down to cover the full 10-1/2-octave (128-note) range of
MIDI notes. (See page 6 for the note range.)
Operation
To shift the keyboard up one octave, press
M. To shift the keyboard down one
octave, press N.
When the octave range is changed, the LED display briefly
indicates the new setting. The OCTAVE SHIFT lamps
also rapidly flash one or more times, according to the
selected octave range. For example, when the setting is
changed to two octaves below normal, the left lamp flashes
twice.
You can instantly restore the normal octave range by
pressing both N/M buttons
simultaneously.
NOTE ■ At the highest octave setting, keys outside the
legal MIDI note range will repeat a previous octave.
17
Playing and Using Your CBX-K1XG
Using the PITCH and ASSIGNABLE Wheels
These two wheels let you control different aspects of the
sound in realtime as you play. These controls affect both
the internal tone generator and any connected MIDI instrument.
PITCH
ASSIGNABLE
Re-assigning the ASSIGNABLE Wheel
As mentioned above, the ASSIGNABLE Wheel can be used
to control a variety of different functions. The default
setting is for modulation control (MIDI Controller #1);
however, it can be set to control volume, pan position,
attack or release time, coarse or fine tuning, and reverb or
chorus depth, among other Controllers. (For a complete list
of the available Controllers and their numbers, see page
34.)
Operation
Simultaneously hold down C and press
1.
S.
Move the PITCH Wheel as you play to change the pitch of
the sound. Moving the wheel away from you bends the
pitch up, though this can be reversed if desired (see page
32). The PITCH Wheel is spring-loaded for returning to
center (normal pitch).
Move the ASSIGNABLE Wheel as you play to change the
modulation of the sound (MIDI Controller #1). Moving the
wheel away from you increases the modulation, though this
can be reversed if desired (see page 32). The ASSIGNABLE Wheel can also be set to control other functions; see
the section below for details.
This sets the ASSIGNABLE Wheel to Controller number
93 (Chorus). Play the keyboard and move the ASSIGNABLE Wheel as you play, and hear how a Chorus effect
comes in as you move the wheel to the maximum position.
As you move the Wheel, the currently assigned Controller
number appears in the LED display.
Try entering other Controller numbers, repeating steps 1
and 2 above. (A short list of Controllers is printed on the
panel. Try entering some of these; many—but not all—of
these will have an obvious effect on the sound as you move
the wheel.)
The LED display indicates the current ASSIGNABLE
Wheel’s Controller number.
While continuing to hold down C, enter the
2.
number 93 (press 9, then 3), then press
K.
18
* You can also assign RPN and NRPN numbers to the
ASSIGNABLE Wheel. (See page 30.)
Playing and Using Your CBX-K1XG
Changing the Touch Sensitivity of the Keyboard
The Touch Sensitivity function lets you change how the
Voices respond to your playing strength. (This affects both
the internal tone generator and any connected MIDI instrument.)
NOTE
■
Touch Sensitivity is a “Group B” function. The
“Group A” functions (such as Program Change, Bank
Select, and Controller, which were covered above) are
shown on the panel and explained in detail on pages 30
– 31. The Group B functions (listed and explained on
pages 32 – 33) are not shown on the panel and are
accessed differently than Group A functions.
Operation
Simultaneously hold down C, press
1.
K, then }.
Pressing K first (before any function key)
calls up the Group B functions. Touch Sensitivity
corresponds to the } key. The LED
display indicates the current Touch Sensitivity value.
Using the INPUT Jack
While continuing to hold down C, enter the
2.
number 1, then press K.
This sets Touch Sensitivity to 1 (easy). Now, when you
play the keyboard, even playing softly results in a
reasonably loud sound.
Try entering other values (the range is 1-10), and hear how
they affect the response of the keyboard. The default value
is 5, and can also be restored by simply turning the CBXK1XG off and on again.
NOTE
■
When Fixed Velocity is set to a value other
than 0 (off), the Touch Sensitivity setting has no effect.
For more information on Touch Sensitivity, see footnote #2
on page 32.
Built into the CBX-K1XG is an INPUT jack, which allows
you to connect an external audio source (such as a CD
player, portable tape deck, or electric musical instrument)
and mix that source with the Voices of the CBX-K1XG—
without the need for an external mixer. For example, you
can connect a CD player and play the CBX-K1XG along
with your favorite CD. Or you can connect another keyboard and have its output mixed along with the CBXK1XG’s Voices.
NOTE ■ The built-in effects of the CBX-K1XG are not
applied to the INPUT signals.
Operation
Turn off the CBX-K1XG.
1.
Connect the audio source to the INPUT jack.
2.
The INPUT jack accepts stereo mini-pin plugs.
This concludes the basic tour of some of the important functions of the CBX-K1XG. To find out more

Reference
About the Tone Generator of the CBX-K1XG
GENERAL
The CBX-K1XG features four different performance
modes: XG, TG300B, C/M and DOC. Normally the CBXK1XG plays in XG mode. However, since it automatically
recognizes which mode to select based on incoming MIDI
data, you can easily change the performance mode from the
MIDI control functions of the CBX-K1XG itself. (Refer to
the following function explanations on pages 30 – 33 : GM
Mode On, XG System On, C/M Mode On, and TG300B
Reset.) You can also change the mode by MIDI System
Exclusive messages that you program in sequencer data, at
the head of your composition.
* The DOC mode is a special mode used for playback of
Yamaha’s Disk Orchestra Collection song data. DOC
mode is automatically selected when playing back such
song data; however, the mode cannot be selected from
the CBX-K1XG itself.
Please note the following:
• Starting up your computer will automatically initialize
all CBX-K1XG settings, or parameter values.
• Since the CBX-K1XG requires about half a second to
change modes when it receives a mode change message,
be sure to insert at least one blank measure at the top of
the song in order to allow enough time for the mode to
change before your actual music data begins.
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.
XG
XG is a major new enhancement to the GM
format developed by Yamaha, and it provides
for more instrument sounds and variations, as
well as greater expressive control over voices
and effects. XG-compatible instruments
feature full compatibility with GM, while
ensuring forward compatibility with future
instruments and software.
● XG Mode
In XG mode the CBX-K1XG will play XG-compatible
multitimbral data, as well as multitimbral data created for
the GM System Level 1 format.
In XG mode the CBX-K1XG can:
• Play up to 16 Parts.
• Choose from 480 Normal Voices and 11 Drum
Voices.
● TG300B Mode
In TG300B mode the CBX-K1XG will play multitimbral
music data created for TG300B-compatible tone generators.
TG300B mode also provides compatibility with the GM
System Level 1 format.
In TG300B mode the CBX-K1XG can:
• Play up to 16 Parts.
• Choose from 579 Normal Voices and 10 Drum
Voices.
● C/M Mode
The C/M mode provides semi-compatibility with song data
recorded for computer music systems preceding the GM
Level 1 standard.
In C/M mode the CBX-K1XG can:
• Play up to 16 Parts.
• Choose from 192 Normal Voices and 1 Drum Voices.

NOTE ■ When set to C/M mode, reception over MIDI
channel 1 is turned off, and the tone generator Voices
will not sound for that channel.
About the Tone Generator of the CBX-K1XG
■ Voices and Elements
A CBX-K1XG Voice can be made up of one or two elements (i.e., sounds), depending on the complexity of the
Voice. Many Voices are made up of only one element. Twoelement Voices are made up of two one-element Voices, and
may be configured in a variety of ways.
The number of elements in use determines the maximum
number of simultaneous notes (polyphony) which the CBXK1XG can play at any given time, depending on the
amount of incoming MIDI Note data. For details about the
number of elements used in each Voice, see the XG Normal
Voice List on page App-17.
■ Maximum Polyphony
The CBX-K1XG can play a maximum of 32 notes polyphony at once. However, the actual number of notes that
will play at any given time is determined by the number of
elements in use across the 16 Parts.
For example, if you use only one-element Voices, you can
achieve the full 32 notes maximum polyphony. If you use
one or more two-element Voices, however, maximum
polyphony will be reduced accordingly.
The CBX-K1XG is a last-note-priority tone generator,
which means that if it receives more than 32 notes of MIDI
Note data at any time, earlier (first) notes will automatically
be cut off to accommodate the most recent (last) incoming
notes.
■ Part Priority
Each of the CBX-K1XG’s 16 Parts corresponds to each of
the 16 MIDI channels (1 – 16). If incoming Note data
exceeds the maximum polyphony, the CBX-K1XG will
prioritize which Parts are played first, in the following
order, from higher priority to lower:
• Channel 10 (Drum Part), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12,
13, 14,15, 16.
Therefore, if you are creating your own music data using
sequencer software, you should assign your most important
Parts (such as melody and bass) to higher priority MIDI
channels (i.e., lower MIDI channel numbers) in order to
preserve the integrity of your composition. Note that with
the GM System Level 1, the Drum Part is always assigned
to MIDI channel 10.
available polyphony.
For example, if you specify an Element Reserve value of
“10” for Part 1, then Part 1 will always keep 10 elements
for itself. You can set Element Reserve values with MIDI
System Exclusive messages (refer to the MIDI Data Format
section: XG Native Parameter Change on pages App-9 –
10, and Table 1-5 on pages App-13 – 15).
■ Selecting Voices
The CBX-K1XG not only contains the 128 basic GM
Voices and GM drum set, but many variation Voices as
well—to give you access to a total of 737 Normal Voices
and 22 Drum Voices.
Voices are selected by specifying a Bank number and a
Voice (program) number. Bank numbers and Voice numbers can be selected directly from the keyboard of the
CBX-K1XG. (See pages 15 and 16.)
■ Effect Types
The CBX-K1XG features dozens of extremely versatile
digital effects generated by Yamaha’s advanced Digital
Signal Processing (DSP) technology.
There are three distinct effect types, or effect sections, each
of which include a variety of individual effects. There are
11 Reverb type effects, 11 Chorus type effects, and 42
Variation type effects. For a complete list of effects, see the
Effect Type List on page App-26.
Reverb, Chorus and Variation effect types are configured,
or routed, in one of two ways—to be either a System Effect
or an Insertion Effect. The difference is as follows:
• SYSTEM EFFECT
- Applies the designated effect to all 16 Parts.
• INSERTION EFFECT
- Applies the designated effect to only one specific Part.
Reverb and Chorus effect types are dedicated System
Effects, and therefore are applied to the overall “mix”. The
Variation effect type, however, can be configured as either a
System Effect or an Insertion Effect. To designate effect
types and parameter values via MIDI messages, see XG
Native Parameter Change, pages App-9 – 10.
■ Element Reserve
The CBX-K1XG has an Element Reserve feature that lets
you reserve a specified number of notes for certain Parts, in
order to keep notes from being “stolen” from those Parts by
other Parts if incoming MIDI Note data exceeds maximum

About MIDI & The CBX-K1XG
■ What is MIDI?
MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument
Digital Interface, which allows electronic musical instruments to “communicate” with each other, by sending and
receiving compatible Note, Control Change, Program
Change and various other types of MIDI data, or messages.
■ MIDI Messages Received by the CBX-K1XG
The CBX-K1XG is controlled by various types of incoming
MIDI messages which automatically determine play mode,
select MIDI channels, Voices and effects, change parameter
values, and of course play the Voices specified for the
various Parts—complete with all the subtle nuances and
powerful dynamics of expression that the composer originally intended. Below are short explanations of the more
important MIDI messages which the CBX-K1XG can
transmit and receive. These messages can be transmitted/
received via the MIDI IN/OUT terminals or the TO HOST
terminal. Most of the messages can also be “played” or
sent to the tone generator directly from the keyboard and
controllers of the CBX-K1XG itself.
● Key On/Key Off
Key On/Key Off messages, also called Note messages,
tell the CBX-K1XG which notes to play, the Velocity
value (depending on how hard the keys are struck) at
which to play them, and how long to play them—i.e.,
when to start (On) and stop (Off) playing each note.
● Control Change
Control Change messages let you select a Voice bank,
control volume, panning, modulation, portamento time,
brightness and various other controller parameters,
through specific Control Change numbers which correspond to each of the various parameters.
NOTE ■ The keyboard of the CBX-K1XG does not
transmit After Touch messages. However, they can
be transmitted from the ASSIGNABLE Wheel (when
set to controller number 142 or 143).
● Polyphonic After Touch
Polyphonic After Touch is a pressure sensing function
which lets you control various functions by how hard
you press the keys, for each individual key.
● System Exclusive
System Exclusive messages control various functions of
the CBX-K1XG, including master volume and master
tuning, play mode (XG, CM, or TG300B), effect type
and various other parameters specifically related to the
CBX-K1XG.
NOTE ■ The CBX-K1XG is capable of sending any
type of System Exclusive message (via the MIDI
OUT or TO HOST terminals). The tone generator
likewise can respond to any relevant System Exclusive message (see the MIDI Data Format section for
details). However, when the tone generator is
controlled directly from the panel and keyboard, it
only responds to certain System Exclusive messages.
■ MIDI Data Transmission/Reception Indications
When MIDI data is transmitted or received, the following
indications appear in the LED display.
• When a MIDI message is transmitted from the CBX-K1XG:
LED flashes briefly to indicate
MIDI message is sent.
● Program Change
Program Change messages tell the CBX-K1XG which
Voice to select for each Part. You can insert Program
Change messages at any desired location in a song.
Combining Bank Select numbers lets you select various
Voices from the hundreds of Voices available in the
CBX-K1XG.
● Pitch Bend
Pitch Bend messages are continuous controller messages
that allow the pitch of designated notes to be raised or
lowered by a specified amount over a specified duration.
● Channel After Touch
Channel After Touch is a pressure sensing function
which lets you control various functions by how hard
you press the keys, over the entire channel.

• When receiving note on data:
One dot flashes.
• When receiving system exclusive data:
Two dots flash.
• When receiving mode change messages (such as XG, DOC, etc.):

About MIDI & The CBX-K1XG
■ Response of the CBX-K1XG During MIDI Buffer
Full Errors
When a MIDI buffer full error occurs, the CBX-K1XG
responds as follows:
1. Merge is set to OFF.
2. Hold 1 Off, All Note Off, All Sound Off messages are
transmitted over all channels.
3. The B lamp flashes, indicating a MIDI buffer
full error.
■ Merge-related Notes
When MIDI Merge is set to ON, MIDI messages received
from an external device are merged with the data generated
by the CBX-K1XG, and are transmitted as is from MIDI
OUT. However, there are some exceptions, as listed below:
* All Note Off messages (<<Bn 7B 00>>) will not be
merged.
* When the CBX-K1XG is set to send <<F8>> messages,
<<F8>> messages from an external device will not be
merged.
* When the CBX-K1XG is not set to send <<F8>>
messages, <<F8>> messages from an external device
can be merged.
* <<FE>> will not be merged.
* With the exception of System Exclusive data, messages
not conforming to the legal byte format will not be
merged. System Exclusive data that doesn’t conform to
the legal byte format can be merged.
* When Merge is set to on, and RPN/NRPN messages are
sent from both the CBX-K1XG and an external device
connected to MIDI IN, the resulting messages will be
mixed and corrupted.
* When Merge is turned off while a key is held, a stuck
note results. This is because the CBX-K1XG simply
turns Merge off, without changing the Note On status.
* Running Status bytes are not used. However, incoming
Running Status messages are added and transmitted.
* If the incoming Note Off messages include <<8n>>
status, the <<8n>> status is merged and output as is.
(The CBX-K1XG transmits Note Off messages as
<<9n>> status with a velocity of 0.)
During merging of System Exclusive data, all operations
from the CBX-K1XG are ignored, and <<FE>> and
<<F8>> messages from the CBX-K1XG will be stopped.
This may cause some problems, as listed below:
* Any operations executed from the CBX-K1XG, in the
middle of a System Exclusive message (<<F0-F7>>)
sent from an external device, are ignored. CBX-K1XG
operations that start before or end after the System
Exclusive message will be incomplete. To avoid this
problem, be careful not to execute operations from both
the CBX-K1XG and the external device at the same
time. Also:
* If the Merge function is not needed, turn Merge off or
disconnect the MIDI cable.
* Do not operate the CBX-K1XG during reception of
large System Exclusive messages, such as bulk dumps.

Using the SHIFT-Related Functions
The enormous flexibility and power of the CBX-K1XG is
in its “hidden” or SHIFT-related functions — allowing you
to send virtually any kind of MIDI message directly from
the keyboard or use the ASSIGNABLE Wheel for real-time
control change.
Many of the functions can be done with one or two keystrokes, while others require you to enter a number value
and press one of the L keys to execute the function.
All functions can be accessed or executed by using one of
the operations described below.

you’ll have to start the operation all over again.
In the instructions that follow, “L” refers to either of
the ENTER keys, J or K.
In other words, this means that either key can be used,
unless indicated otherwise.
The MIDI functions can be generally divided into three

Basic Operations
Using the SHIFT-Related Functions
Selecting Group A and Group B Functions
● Selecting Group A Functions:
Hold down C and press the appropriate key. (See
pages 30 – 31 for specific Group A functions and how
to use them.)
● 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 32 – 33 for specific
Group B functions and how to use them.)
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.
● Entering a decimal value:
Hold down C, press the appropriate function key,
enter the desired value in decimal format, then press
K.
● Entering a hexadecimal value:
Hold down C, press the appropriate function key,
enter the desired value in hexadecimal format, then
press J.
● 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
003.
* 0 → 3 → K: results in a value of MSB = 000,
LSB = 003.
* 1 → 0 → 0 → 3 → K: results in a value
of MSB = 001, LSB = 003.
* 0 → 1 → 0 → 0 → 3 → K: results in
a value of MSB = 001, LSB = 003.
: results in a value of MSB = 000, LSB =
● 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.
Examples:
* 3 → J: results in a value of MSB = 00, LSB =
03.
* 0 → 3 → J: results in a value of MSB = 00,
LSB = 03.
* 1 → 0 → 3 → J: results in a value of
MSB = 01, LSB = 03.
* 0 → 1 → 0 → 3 → J: results in a
value of MSB = 01, LSB = 03.
Example — Setting the MIDI Transmit Channel to 12:
Decimal:
C + { → 1 → 2 → K
Hexadecimal:
C + { → c → J
* Also see the Decimal-Hexadecimal Conversion Chart
on page 23.)
Value Entry — Some Specific Examples
and Anomalies
● Using K
Examples:
* 1 → 2 → 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).
When entering MSB and LSB values, the LED display
alternately flashes the MSB and LSB values.
NOTE ■ The order of MSB and LSB entry can be
reversed. (See page 32.)
NOTES ON THE BASIC OPERATION
■
If you inadvertently press two or more function keys
while performing a function, the last pressed key has
priority.
■
If, after entering a value, you press another function
key before pressing
L
, the value will be can-
celled.
■
If you enter a value that is outside of a function’s
range, it will be ignored. Legal messages can be one
byte in length (a value from 0 - 255).

Operation: C + G / H
To transpose up one semitone, use the H key
(F3). To transpose down one semitone, use the
G key (E3). Each repeated pressing of the
key while holding C transposes the pitch by an
additional semitone. To restore the normal default transpose setting, hold down C and press both
G / H keys simultaneously.
NOTE ■ You can also enter transpose values directly by
using operation above.
Selecting a Drum Number (when editing
a specific drum number with controller
8
numbers 131 - 141)
You can use operation above to set the drum number
for editing a specific drum number with controller numbers
131 - 141. However, the following operation lets you set
the Drum number by playing it from the keyboard. This
allows you to hear the drum sound you’ll be editing, since
the last note played on the keyboard determines the drum
sound to be changed.
Without pressing C, find the desired drum number by
sound — by pressing keys on the keyboard. Next, hold
down C, press F, then L. This
sets the drum number to the last key pressed. Then (to set
the controller number for that drum sound), hold down
C and press S, then enter the controller
number (131 through 141). This sets the Controller Number for the Drum parameter you wish to control with the
ASSIGNABLE Wheel.

*1 When entering Bank numbers, the internal tone genera-
tor ignores invalid Bank numbers (even if the Bank on a
connected tone generator has changed).
*2 The actual program change number transmitted by the
CBX-K1XG is the displayed number minus 1. For
example, program number 001 on the display is actually
transmitted as 000.
When entering program numbers, the internal tone
generator ignores invalid program numbers (even if the
program on a connected tone generator has changed).
When stepping up or down through program numbers,
“empty” programs or Voices in a Bank are skipped, and
the next available program is automatically selected.
Program numbers can also be selected without pressing
PROGRAM CHANGE (by entering only the value and
pressing ENTER).

This turns all sounds off over the current MIDI channel. To turn all sounds off for all MIDI channels,
use All Sound Off in Group B.
This resets the tone generator to XG operation. WARNING: Be careful when using this, since it
automatically changes whatever settings you’ve made on the tone generator. (Only XG-compatible
tone generators respond to this message.)
When set to ON, this merges all data received at MIDI IN with the data generated by the CBXK1XG. Merge can be set independently for each channel in the Group B functions.
This determines the MIDI transmit channel for the CBX-K1XG. This should be set to match the MIDI
receive channel of the connected MIDI device.
This sets a fixed velocity value for the keyboard; in other words, playing the keyboard at any strength
results in a certain velocity value. When this is set to 0 (initial touch on), Touch Sensitivity can be set
in the Group B functions. When ASSIGNABLE Wheel is set to Velocity (147), this is inactive.
This determines the RPN (Registered Parameter Number) for the ASSIGNABLE Wheel. This
function should be used for all RPN’s not listed on the panel. The message must include both MSB
and LSB values.
This determines the Controller Number for the ASSIGNABLE Wheel. Though not all are listed on
the panel, any of the standard Control Change numbers (0 -119) can be assigned. (For a complete
list of the available Controllers and their numbers, see page 34.)
This determines the NRPN (Non-Registered Parameter Number) for the ASSIGNABLE Wheel. This

This sends various current settings of the CBX-K1XG as a system exclusive bulk data dump.
Dashes flash in the LED display while the operation is in progress. Data saved to a MIDI storage
device in this fashion can be restored by simply sending it back to the CBX-K1XG. Incoming MIDI
data is ignored during the operation.

This sets the internal tone generator to the C/M mode. When set to C/M mode, reception over
MIDI channel 1 is turned off, and the tone generator Voices will not sound for that channel.
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 TG300B reset on the tone generator.
This enables (on) or disables (off) keyboard control over the internal tone generator. When set to
off, the internal Voices do not sound when playing the keyboard; only an external connected tone
generator responds to keyboard/controller data.
This merges all data received over the selected MIDI channel with the data generated by the CBXK1XG. This function can be set independently for each channel.
This determines the relative velocity sensitivity of the CBX-K1XG k eyboard. 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 the 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-K1XG as a hand-held
keyboard. An alter nate way to change this setting is to simultaneously hold down
and turn on the power.
