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 Gen-
eral 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 owners manual of your par-
ticular 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 comprehen-
sive program change commands let you easily select
program banks and voices.
Most importantly, though, the CBX-K1 has an ASSIGN-
ABLE 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, Bright-
ness, 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.

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.
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 neces-
sary, 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.
Yamaha is not responsible for damage caused by
improper handling or operation.
3
By and large, the CBX-K1 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. Read through all of
the initial sections first, then go on to the “Guided Tour” to set up your CBX-K1, learn how to use its various functions, and
try out some of the practical application examples to help you become more familiar with its operations. For those who need
to delve deeper, the “Reference” section provides at-a-glance information and important details on all 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.
* Actual MIDI data messages (in hexadecimal) are indicated as follows: <<FE>> and <<En 00 40>>, etc.
* Operation steps are indicated as follows:
Example Actual Operation
C + E While holding down the C button, press E (D2).
C + U L While holding down the C button, first press U (Fm2), then press
L (either J or K).

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 C button, 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 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 CBX-
K1 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 accord-
ing 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 C Button
This button is used to access the “hidden” functions of the
CBX-K1. Used with the N /
M buttons, 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 sophisti-
cated MIDI control functions. (See page 12.)
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). (See page 5.) Press both of these
buttons together to restore the normal octave setting (C2 to
C5). With the C button, these buttons can also be
used to step up or down through program numbers on the
connected MIDI device. (See page 10.)

When the battery power runs too low to properly operate
the CBX-K1, the V lamp will flash slowly. When
this happens, replace all batteries with a complete set of six
new 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 ex-
tended period of time.
IMPORTANT
Turning the power off and on again
resets all settings to the factory default, cancelling all
user settings.
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to use a power adaptor other than
the PA-1B or PA-3. The use of an incompatible adaptor
may result in irreparable damage to the CBX-K1, and
even pose a serious shock hazard.
Be sure to disconnect the power adaptor from the
outlet when the CBX-K1 is not in use.

Guided Tour
When using your CBX-K1 for the first time, read through this short section
of the manual. It guides you step-by-step in using many of the basic opera-
tions: setting the instrument up, connecting it properly to other equipment,
and — most importantly — playing it.
Setting Up Your CBX-K1
In this introductory section, you’ll learn how to set up the
CBX-K1 for use in your music system. A variety of setups
are covered here; read through the one that most closely
matches your own setup.
What You’ll Need
Since the CBX-K1 is strictly a MIDI controller and does
not generate any sound by itself, you’ll need other data-
receiving and sound-producing equipment. Basically, you
will need:
* The CBX-K1 and an optional PA-3 or PA-1B AC power
adaptor (or a set of batteries).
* A MIDI device (such as a tone generator, keyboard or
computer) which can receive and play back MIDI data,
and at least one MIDI cable.
* (Optional) An amplifier/speaker system, preferably
stereo, with proper audio connecting cables. Alter-
nately, you can use a set of stereo headphones.
Setup Examples
NOTE
The setup examples below show only the MIDI
connections. The audio connections would vary
according to the particular equipment you use. Refer
to the owners manuals of your other equipment for
audio connection instructions.
With Computer and Tone Generator
In the small MIDI system below, the CBX-K1 is connected
to a computer and a single tone generator. With the proper
sequencing software on the computer, the CBX-K1 can be
used both for recording performance data to the computer
and playing the sounds of the connected tone generator.
You can also conveniently use the CBX-K1 to start and
stop the sequencer.

The HOST SELECT switch on the
MU80 allows you to match the type
of computer, when connecting directly
to a computer.
With Sequencer
The CBX-K1 can be used with a stand-alone sequencer, for
recording and editing performance data.

keyboard
In a variation of the above setup, set the Clavinova and
CBX-K1 to transmit on the same channel, and set the CBX-
K1’s MIDI Merge function to ON. This lets you play the
tone generator from either keyboard and use the versatile
MIDI functions of the CBX-K1 to control the tone genera-
tor — for example, changing the brightness of the sound in
real time with the ASSIGNABLE Wheel.
NOTE
When an external MIDI device is connected to
the MIDI IN of the CBX-K1, the
B
lamp may
flash, indicating a MIDI error. This is probably due to
a longer-than-normal interval between active sensing
messages received from the device. To remedy this, set
the MIDI Merge of the CBX-K1 to ON. (See page 24.)
Connect the MIDI OUT terminal on the main keyboard to
the MIDI IN terminal on the CBX-K1. Also connect the
MIDI OUT terminal on the CBX-K1 to the MIDI IN terminal
on the tone generator.
With Main Keyboard and Tone Generator
In this system, the CBX-K1 effectively serves as a second
keyboard. The main keyboard (in this case, the Clavinova)
is used to play both its own internal sounds and the sounds
of the connected multi-timbral tone generator on one
channel, while the CBX-K1 is used to play the sounds of
the tone generator on another channel. This lets you play
two sounds at once from the Clavinova, and play a third
sound from the CBX-K1.
With Tone Generator
In the simple system below, the CBX-K1 is used to play the
voices of the MU80 Tone Generator. This setup could also
serve as a simple, yet powerful live performance rig, with
the CBX-K1 being used as a portable, hand-held keyboard.

Operation
1.
Connect the MIDI OUT terminal of the CBX-K1 to the MIDI
IN terminal of the tone generator, sequencer or computer
MIDI interface (as shown in the illustrations above).
2.
Make all necessary audio connections, making sure first
that all level controls on those devices are set to the
minimum. (Refer to the owners manuals of the devices
you are using for more information on connections.)
3.
Finally, turn on the power of the CBX-K1, then turn on
the power of the connected equipment. (If necessary,
follow the order as recommended in the owners manu-
als of the devices you are using.) When turning off the
power, be sure to turn off the CBX-K1 last.

Using the CBX-K1 — Basic Operations
Though the CBX-K1 has many sophisticated functions, it is
very easy to use. All available functions can be controlled
or executed by using the basic operations described in this
section. (For details on individual functions, see pages 18-
22.)
NOTE
This introductory section assumes that the
MIDI transmit channel of the CBX-K1 and the MIDI
receive channel of the connected device match. When
the CBX-K1 is turned on, the MIDI transmit channel is
automatically set to 1. For the sake of the following
sections, set the MIDI receive channel of the connected
device to 1 (or Omni).
The illustration below shows how to use the basic real-time controls of the CBX-K1.
Playing the Keyboard and Other Operations
Changing Voices (Program Change Up/Down)
You can easily step up or down through the voices
(program numbers) on the connected MIDI device.
To do this, hold down C and press
M (to advance one program number), or
press N (to go back one program number).
The LEDs quickly flash on and off when a program
number message is sent. Release C to play the new
voice.
When the CBX-K1 is turned on, the starting point for
program change is 0. This means that when you first
hold down C and press M, program
number 1 will be selected.
NOTE
Always release
C
before playing the
CBX-K1 keyboard. Holding down
C
accesses
the secondary or “hidden” functions, and you may
inadvertently execute one of these functions by playing
the keyboard while continuing to hold down
C
.
NOTE
This function does not “wrap around.” In
other words, you cannot go back to program number
127 when at 0, or advance to program number 0 when
at 127.

Changing the Octave Setting
You can easily change the octave range of the CBX-K1
keyboard while playing. In this way the three-octave
keyboard can cover the entire range of MIDI notes, from
C-2 to G8 (0-127).
To shift the keyboard up one octave, press
M. To shift the keyboard down one
octave, press N. When the octave is
changed, the LEDs rapidly flash one, two, three or four
times, according to the selected octave range. For
example, when the setting is changed to two octaves
below normal, the left lamp flashes twice.
Using the CBX-K1 — Basic Operations
NOTE
At the lowest and highest octave settings, keys
outside the legal MIDI note range will repeat the center
octave range.

ASSIGNABLE Wheel
When the CBX-K1 is turned on, this Wheel is set to control
Modulation Depth on the connected MIDI device. It can be
set to control other functions; see page 18 for details. The
Wheels maximum/minimum positions can be reversed.
(See page 20.)
PITCH Wheel
This Wheel controls Pitch Bend on the connected MIDI
device. The Wheels maximum/minimum positions can
be reversed. (See page 20.)
12
Using the SHIFT-Related Functions
The enormous flexibility and power of the CBX-K1 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 key-
strokes, 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.
2)
Holding C, pressing the function’s key and then
L. These functions are indicated with a dashed
underline on the panel (for example, GM ON and XG
ON) and require pressing L to execute.
3)
Holding C, pressing the function’s key, entering
a value and then pressing L. These functions
are indicated with an underline on the panel (for ex-
ample, PROGRAM CHANGE and TEMPO), and
require that a value (Decimal or Hexadecimal) be
entered.
In using the SHIFT-related functions, re-
member:
Keep holding down C until the end of the
operation. If C is released in mid-operation,
youll 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.
NOTE
The
V
/
B
lamps flash briefly
when a function is executed or a message is sent.
The MIDI functions can be generally divided into three
types, according to their operation.
1)
Holding C and pressing the function’s key. For
these functions, such as Sequencer Stop and Start,
pressing L is not necessary. These functions are
shown on the panel without underline.

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
: results in a value of MSB = 000, LSB = 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.
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.
NOTE
The order of MSB and LSB entry can be
reversed. (See page 20.)
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).
Basic Operations
Selecting Group A and Group B Functions
Selecting Group A Functions:
Hold down C and press the appropriate key. (See
pages 14 and 18 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 16 and 20 for
specific Group B functions and how to use them.)
Entering Values
Value entry on the CBX-K1 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.
Example — Setting the MIDI Transmit Channel to 12:
Decimal:
C + { 1 2 K
Hexadecimal:
C + { c J
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).

without altering the controller assignment.
Selecting a Drum Number (when editing
a specific drum number with controller
numbers 131 - 141)
You can use operation 4 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 youll 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 Num-
ber for the Drum parameter you wish to control with the
ASSIGNABLE Wheel.

Group A Functions
Reference
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 GM-
compatible tone generators of any manufac-
turer, and sound as the composer or program-
mer 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.

About RPN and NRPN
Registered Parameter Numbers (RPN) are controllers that
have been added to the MIDI specification and are
common among various MIDI devices of different
manufacturers. Unlike the Control Change numbers,
these use messages composed of three bytes: MSB, LSB
and Data Entry.
Non-Registered Parameter Numbers (NRPN) are control-
lers that have been created by one or more manufactur-
ers, but have not been added to the MIDI specification.
Thus, NRPN functions may be found on some instru-
ments and not others. The NRPN functions of the CBX-
K1 support all XG-compatible devices. Unlike the
Control Change numbers, these use messages composed
of three bytes: MSB, LSB and Data Entry.
Other RPN or NRPN messages not provided on the panel
can be transmitted using the RPN or NRPN functions in
Group A and B.

This resets all MIDI controller values to their reset values (minimum or center).
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 GM-B reset on a connected tone generator. (This affects only certain tone generators,
making their operation compatible with the Yamaha TG300.)
This merges all data received over the selected MIDI channel with the data generated by the CBX-K1.
This function can be set independently for each channel.
This determines the relative velocity sensitivity of the CBX-K1 keyboard. 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 a connected 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-K1 as a hand-held keyboard. An
alternate way to change this setting is to simultaneously hold down N and turn on the
power.
This inverts the MSB/LSB entry (so that LSB precedes MSB). An alternate way to change this setting
is to simultaneously hold down M and turn on the power.
This sends a data message of a single byte. (See page 17.)

ASSIGNABLE Wheel — Controller Number List
For details on these various control numbers and whether or not your particular MIDI device supports them, refer to the
owners manual of that device.
MIDI Code abbreviation key
n: MIDI channel
gg: Control number
tt: Note number
s: Device number
rr: Drum number
vv: 8-bit resolution of the Wheel movement (range: 00-7F)
ll mm: 16-bit resolution of the Wheel movement (range: 0000-7FFF)
pm pl: Wheel movement data of 8-bit values are divided into two bytes
(with pm = upper half of 8 bits and pl = lower half of 8 bits),
converting 1-byte data into 2-byte data, each consisting of 4 bits. The
upper 4 digits are given values of 0 for both pm and pl.
NOTE
Even though not all of the numbers are listed here, the ASSIGNABLE Wheel can
be assigned to any of the standard Control Change numbers: 0 -119.
Footnotes
*1 This applies only to the highest note played. This control number is
unrelated to polyphonic key pressure after touch in the MIDI standard.
*2 Data from 00-0D is converted to a value of 0E, and data from 73-7F is
converted to a value of 72.
*3 When Tempo is assigned to the ASSIGNABLE Wheel, the range
becomes 24-278.
*4 This does not output MIDI code directly, but changes the velocity of
the subsequently played notes.
*5 This does not output MIDI code directly, but changes the time interval
between transmitted MIDI clocks.

Troubleshooting
Even though the CBX-K1 is easy to use, it may occasion-
ally not function as you expect it to. If that happens, check
the possible problems and solutions below before assuming
that the instrument is faulty.
(Problem)
(Possible Cause and Solution)
Specific functions/messages cannot be executed or sent
properly.
While holding down C in the middle of an operation,
you may have inadvertently released C. Make sure to
hold down C for the duration of the operation.
A certain function does not respond or work properly.
The connected MIDI device may not support the relevant
function on the CBX-K1.
Incoming data is not merged.
Make sure that Merge is set to ON. Make sure also that the
Merge on/off function in Group B is set to ON for the relevant
MIDI channel.
Some messages cannot be merged.
Please refer to the Merge-related Notes in the MIDI Data
Format section, page 24.
Merge is inadvertently set to OFF.
When there is some kind of MIDI receive error, Merge is
automatically turned off. Please also refer to the Merge-
related Notes in the MIDI Data Format section, page 24.
When turning Merge off, the connected tone generator
continues to sound.
Please refer to the Merge-related Notes in the MIDI Data
Format section, page 24.
The connected device does not respond to MIDI clock
messages, or MIDI clock messages are not sent.
Make sure that the Tempo setting on the CBX-K1 is set to a
value other than 0. Also make sure that the connected device
is set properly for receiving MIDI clock messages. If another
device is connected to the MIDI IN of the CBX-K1 and that
device is sending the MIDI clock messages, Merge must be set
to ON.
With Merge set to ON, tempo change messages sent from an
external device have no effect.
If an external device is connected to the MIDI IN of the CBX-
K1, and the CBX-K1 is sending MIDI clock messages, the
external device cannot be used to send MIDI clock messages.
Sending a bank select message also sends a program change
message.
This is normal. The CBX-K1 automatically sends the
currently set program change number together with a bank
select message.
The RPN or NRPN controller number assigned to the ASSIGN-
ABLE Wheel doesn’t function properly.
The RPN or NRPN direct data send function doesn’t work
properly.
Please refer to the Merge-related Notes in the MIDI Data
Format section, page 24.
When the power is turned off and on again, the settings you
made have been cancelled.
This is normal. The CBX-K1 has no internal memory backup.
Octave Shift function has no effect.
Octave Shift cannot be changed while a key is being held
down.
The B lamp flashes, indicating a MIDI error.
There may be a problem with incoming Active Sensing
messages. (See the Note on page 9.)
A MIDI device connected to MIDI IN may have been turned
off, or the connecting MIDI cable may have been unplugged
or damaged.
Make sure not to connect a MIDI cable to the MIDI IN while
executing a function on the CBX-K1.
Too much MIDI data (exceeding the receive capability of the
CBX-K1) may have been received at MIDI IN.
Instead of both V / B lamps flashing
(indicatiing proper execution of an operation), only the
V lamp flashes.
The battery power is too low for proper operation. Replace all
batteries.
The keyboard is not touch sensitive.
Make sure that Fixed Velocity is set to 0.
The Fixed Velocity setting has no effect.
Tne Fixed Velocity setting is inactive when Velocity is
assigned to the ASSIGNABLE Wheel.
The Tempo setting has no effect.
Tne Tempo setting is inactive when Tempo is assigned to the
ASSIGNABLE Wheel.
The All Sound Off function has no effect.
All Sound Off in the Group A functions only applies to the
cureently selected MIDI channel. Also, some tone generators
may not respond to the All Sound Off message.
The rightmost five keys of the keyboard do not sound at the
expected pitch.
When set to the highest octave range, the rightmost five keys
are set to play notes Gm4 (80) through C5 (84).
Even when Touch Sensitivity is active, the effective velocity
range is narrower than expected.
Please refer to Footnote #2 on page 21 for details on velocity
range.
Some of the keys do not respond to after touch pressure when
playing several notes simultaneously.
Polyphonic Key Pressure After Touch applies only to the
highest note played.

MIDI Data Format
MIDI Reception
Merge-related Notes
MIDI messages received from an external device at MIDI
IN can be merged with the data generated by the CBX-K1,
and are transmitted as is from MIDI OUT. However, there
are some exceptions, as listed below:
* <<F4>>, <<F5>> and any subsequent data bytes will
not be merged.
* All Note Off message (<<Bn 7B 00>>) will not be
merged.
* When the CBX-K1 is set to send <<F8>> messages,
<<F8>> messages from an external device will not be
merged.
* When the CBX-K1 is not set to send <<F8>> messages,
<<F8>> messages from an external device can be
merged.
* <<FE>> will not be merged.
* When Merge is set to ON, and an <<FE>> message has
not been received for over approximately 600 ms, an
Active Sensing error occurs.
* With the exception of System Exclusive data, messages
not conforming to the legal byte format will not be
merged. System Exclusive data that doesnt conform to
the legal byte format can be merged.
* If during transmission of System Exclusive messages,
the messages are cut off or interrupted (for over ap-
proximately 400 ms), a MIDI error occurs.
* When Merge is set to on, and RPN/NRPN messages are
sent from both the CBX-K1 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-K1 simply turns
Merge off, without changing the Note On status.
During merging of System Exclusive data, all operations
from the CBX-K1 are ignored, and <<FE>> and <<F8>>
messages from the CBX-K1 will be stopped. This may
cause some problems, as listed below:
* Any operations executed from the CBX-K1, in the
middle of a System Exclusive message (<<F0-F7>>)
sent from an external device, are ignored. CBX-K1
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-K1 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-K1 during reception of large
System Exclusive messages, such as bulk dumps.
Response of the CBX-K1 During MIDI Errors
When a MIDI reception error occurs (such as buffer full,
Active Sensing, interruption of System Exclusive, etc.), the
CBX-K1 responds as follows:
1. Merge is set to OFF.
2. The MIDI transmit/receive buffer is cleared.
3. Damper Off, All Note Off, All Sound Off messages are
transmitted over all channels.
4. Transmission of messages (including <<FE>> and

Model CBX-K1 Serial No. Purchase Date PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL 92-BP 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 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. 1 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. 2 ● 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. How to Use This Manual By and large, the CBX-K1 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. Read through all of the initial sections first, then go on to the “Guided Tour” to set up your CBX-K1, learn how to use its various functions, and try out some of the practical application examples to help you become more familiar with its operations. For those who need to delve deeper, the “Reference” section provides at-a-glance information and important details on all 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. * Actual MIDI data messages (in hexadecimal) are indicated as follows: <<FE>> and <<En 00 40>>, etc. * Operation steps are indicated as follows: Example Actual Operation C+E While holding down the C button, press E (D2). C+U→L While holding down the C button, first press U (Fm2), then press L (either J or K).

All note on, note off and velocity data is transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal. When used with the C button, the keys are used for changing various settings and sending special MIDI messages. (See page 12.) This spring-loaded Wheel controls Pitch Bend. The Wheel’s operation can be reversed. (See page 20.) 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 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 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). 4 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 C Button This button is used to access the “hidden” functions of the CBX-K1. Used with the N / M buttons, 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 / 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). (See page 5.) Press both of these buttons together to restore the normal octave setting (C2 to C5). With the C button, these buttons can also be used to step up or down through program numbers on the connected MIDI device. (See page 10.) Panel Controls and Terminals y V / B Lamps u CONTROLLER NUMBER LIST These lamps provide several indications: * During normal playing conditions, these 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 11.) * When using some of the “hidden” functions, these flash when a MIDI message is transmitted or when a function is executed. * The left lamp flashes slowly when the battery power is too low for proper operation. * The right lamp flashes quickly when there is some kind of MIDI receive error. The lamp flashes until you turn the power off and on again, or until you set MIDI Merge to ON. (See page 24.) This shows the controller numbers that can be used with the ASSIGNABLE Wheel. (See page 22.) ● Note Range of the CBX-K1 (with Octave Shift ) Middle C (C3 or MIDI note number 60) C-2 (0) C-1 (12) C0 (24) C1 (36) C2 (48) C3 (60) C4 (72) C5 (84) C6 (96) C8 G8 (120) (127) 4 octaves up 1 octave down 2 octaves down 3 octaves up 3 octaves down 4 octaves down C7 (108) 2 octaves up 1 octave up Normal octave range (default: when power is turned on) This section is outside the “legal” MIDI range and plays notes Gm4 (80) through C5 (84). 5 Panel Controls and Terminals i POWER Switch ■ Rear Panel Push this switch in to turn on the power.

By using the MIDI Merge function, that data can be combined with the data generated by the CBX-K1 and transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal. ■ Default Settings of the CBX-K1 The CBX-K1 has no internal memory backup. As a result, all settings are returned to the factory default when turning the power off. The basic factory default settings are listed below. * MIDI transmit channel: 1 * Octave range: C2-C5 * Transpose: normal (no transposition) * Fixed velocity: Off (keyboard is velocity sensitive) * ASSIGNABLE Wheel: Modulation 6 ● User-configurable Defaults: You can change certain power-on default settings of the CBX-K1. These include: * Reversing the PITCH Wheel and ASSIGNABLE Wheel operation. Hold down N and turn the power on. (See page 20.) * Reversing the MSB, LSB order. Hold down M and turn the power on. (See page 20.) Power Supply Your CBX-K1 will run either from an optional power adaptor or batteries. Follow the instructions below according to the power source you intend to use. NOTE ■ Before making any connections, make sure that all equipment to be connected is turned off. Using a Power Adaptor Using Batteries To use the CBX-K1 on battery power, remove the battery compartment cover (as shown below) and insert six 1.5V AA size (SUM-3, R-6 or equivalent) manganese or alkaline batteries in the battery compartment. Make sure to follow the polarity indications on the bottom case. Battery compartment cover Connect one end of the power adaptor (the optional) Yamaha PA-1B or PA-3) to the DC IN jack on the rear panel, and the other end to a suitable electrical outlet. DC IN OFF (?) Power adaptor (PA-1B or PA-3) Securely replace the battery compartment cover when done installing the batteries. When to Replace the Batteries CAUTION! ■ Do not attempt to use a power adaptor other than the PA-1B or PA-3. The use of an incompatible adaptor may result in irreparable damage to the CBX-K1, and even pose a serious shock hazard. ■ Be sure to disconnect the power adaptor from the outlet when the CBX-K1 is not in use. When the battery power runs too low to properly operate the CBX-K1, the V lamp will flash slowly. When this happens, replace all batteries with a complete set of six new 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. IMPORTANT ■ Turning the power off and on again resets all settings to the factory default, cancelling all user settings. 7 Guided Tour When using your CBX-K1 for the first time, read through this short section of the manual. It guides you step-by-step in using many of the basic operations: setting the instrument up, connecting it properly to other equipment, and — most importantly — playing it. Setting Up Your CBX-K1 In this introductory section, you’ll learn how to set up the CBX-K1 for use in your music system. A variety of setups are covered here; read through the one that most closely matches your own setup. For tone generators with a built-in MIDI interface (such as the Yamaha MU80) CBX-K1 Computer MIDI KEYBOARD CBX-K1 What You’ll Need Since the CBX-K1 is strictly a MIDI controller and does not generate any sound by itself, you’ll need other datareceiving and sound-producing equipment. Basically, you will need: MIDI OUT Tone generator MU80 MIDI IN Serial port TO HOST * The CBX-K1 and an optional PA-3 or PA-1B AC power adaptor (or a set of batteries). * A MIDI device (such as a tone generator, keyboard or computer) which can receive and play back MIDI data, and at least one MIDI cable. * (Optional) An amplifier/speaker system, preferably stereo, with proper audio connecting cables. Alternately, you can use a set of stereo headphones. HOST SELECT MIDI Mac PC-2 PC-1 The HOST SELECT switch on the MU80 allows you to match the type of computer, when connecting directly to a computer. Connect the MIDI OUT terminal on the CBX-K1 to the MIDI IN terminal on the MU80. The MU80 should be connected to the proper port on the computer. (For complete connection instructions, refer to the owner’s manual of your particular tone generator.) Setup Examples For tone generators without a built-in MIDI interface NOTE ■ The setup examples below show only the MIDI connections. The audio connections would vary according to the particular equipment you use. Refer to the owner’s manuals of your other equipment for audio connection instructions. CBX-K1 MIDI KEYBOARD CBX-K1 Computer MIDI MIDI OUT MIDI IN Interface With Computer and Tone Generator In the small MIDI system below, the CBX-K1 is connected to a computer and a single tone generator. With the proper sequencing software on the computer, the CBX-K1 can be used both for recording performance data to the computer and playing the sounds of the connected tone generator. You can also conveniently use the CBX-K1 to start and stop the sequencer. 8 MIDI OUT MIDI IN Serial port Tone generator Connect the MIDI OUT terminal on the CBX-K1 to the MIDI IN terminal on the computer’s MIDI interface. The tone generator should be connected to a MIDI OUT on the interface. Setting Up Your CBX-K1 With Sequencer The CBX-K1 can be used with a stand-alone sequencer, for recording and editing performance data. MIDI OUT CBX-K1 MIDI OUT MIDI IN QY300 Tone generator MU80 MIDI KEYBOARD CBX-K1 MIDI IN MIDI IN MIDI OUT MUSIC SEQUENCER HOST SELECT MIDI KEYBOARD CBX-K1 MIDI CBX-K1 Mac PC-2 PC-1 Sequencer Connect the MIDI OUT terminal on the CBX-K1 to the MIDI IN terminal on the sequencer. With Tone Generator In the simple system below, the CBX-K1 is used to play the voices of the MU80 Tone Generator. This setup could also serve as a simple, yet powerful live performance rig, with the CBX-K1 being used as a portable, hand-held keyboard. MIDI KEYBOARD CBX-K1 MIDI OUT CBX-K1 MIDI IN MIDI keyboard Connect the MIDI OUT terminal on the main keyboard to the MIDI IN terminal on the CBX-K1. Also connect the MIDI OUT terminal on the CBX-K1 to the MIDI IN terminal on the tone generator. In a variation of the above setup, set the Clavinova and CBX-K1 to transmit on the same channel, and set the CBXK1’s MIDI Merge function to ON. This lets you play the tone generator from either keyboard and use the versatile MIDI functions of the CBX-K1 to control the tone generator — for example, changing the brightness of the sound in real time with the ASSIGNABLE Wheel. NOTE ■ When an external MIDI device is connected to the MIDI IN of the CBX-K1, the B lamp may flash, indicating a MIDI error. This is probably due to a longer-than-normal interval between active sensing messages received from the device. To remedy this, set the MIDI Merge of the CBX-K1 to ON. (See page 24.) HOST SELECT MIDI Mac PC-2 PC-1 Tone generator MU80 Connect the MIDI OUT terminal on the CBX-K1 to the MIDI IN terminal on the MU80. With Main Keyboard and Tone Generator In this system, the CBX-K1 effectively serves as a second keyboard. The main keyboard (in this case, the Clavinova) is used to play both its own internal sounds and the sounds of the connected multi-timbral tone generator on one channel, while the CBX-K1 is used to play the sounds of the tone generator on another channel. This lets you play two sounds at once from the Clavinova, and play a third sound from the CBX-K1. Making the Connections CAUTION! ■ Before making any connections, make sure that all equipment to be connected is turned off. Operation 1. Connect the MIDI OUT terminal of the CBX-K1 to the MIDI IN terminal of the tone generator, sequencer or computer MIDI interface (as shown in the illustrations above). 2. Make all necessary audio connections, making sure first that all level controls on those devices are set to the minimum. (Refer to the owner’s manuals of the devices you are using for more information on connections.) 3. Finally, turn on the power of the CBX-K1, then turn on the power of the connected equipment. (If necessary, follow the order as recommended in the owner’s manuals of the devices you are using.) When turning off the power, be sure to turn off the CBX-K1 last. 9 Using the CBX-K1 — Basic Operations Though the CBX-K1 has many sophisticated functions, it is very easy to use. All available functions can be controlled or executed by using the basic operations described in this section. (For details on individual functions, see pages 1822.) NOTE ■ This introductory section assumes that the MIDI transmit channel of the CBX-K1 and the MIDI receive channel of the connected device match. When the CBX-K1 is turned on, the MIDI transmit channel is automatically set to 1. For the sake of the following sections, set the MIDI receive channel of the connected device to 1 (or Omni). Playing the Keyboard and Other Operations The illustration below shows how to use the basic real-time controls of the CBX-K1. ● Changing Voices (Program Change Up/Down) You can easily step up or down through the voices (program numbers) on the connected MIDI device. To do this, hold down C and press M (to advance one program number), or press N (to go back one program number). The LEDs quickly flash on and off when a program number message is sent. Release C to play the new voice. When the CBX-K1 is turned on, the starting point for program change is 0. This means that when you first hold down C and press M, program number 1 will be selected. 10 NOTE ■ Always release C before playing the CBX-K1 keyboard. Holding down C accesses the secondary or “hidden” functions, and you may inadvertently execute one of these functions by playing the keyboard while continuing to hold down C. NOTE ■ This function does not “wrap around.” In other words, you cannot go back to program number 127 when at 0, or advance to program number 0 when at 127. Using the CBX-K1 — Basic Operations ● PITCH Wheel This Wheel controls Pitch Bend on the connected MIDI device. The Wheel’s maximum/minimum positions can be reversed. (See page 20.) ● ASSIGNABLE Wheel When the CBX-K1 is turned on, this Wheel is set to control Modulation Depth on the connected MIDI device. It can be set to control other functions; see page 18 for details. The Wheel’s maximum/minimum positions can be reversed. (See page 20.)

In this way the three-octave keyboard can cover the entire range of MIDI notes, from C-2 to G8 (0-127). To shift the keyboard up one octave, press M. To shift the keyboard down one octave, press N. When the octave is changed, the LEDs rapidly flash one, two, three or four times, according to the selected octave range. For example, when the setting is changed to two octaves below normal, the left lamp flashes twice. ■ Normal octave setting. OCTAVE NOTE ■ At the lowest and highest octave settings, keys outside the legal MIDI note range will repeat the center octave range. 11 Using the CBX-K1 — Basic Operations Using the SHIFT-Related Functions The enormous flexibility and power of the CBX-K1 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.

These functions are indicated with a dashed underline on the panel (for example, GM ON and XG ON) and require pressing L to execute. Holding C, pressing the function’s key, entering a value and then pressing L. These functions are indicated with an underline on the panel (for example, PROGRAM CHANGE and TEMPO), and require that a value (Decimal or Hexadecimal) be entered. ● In using the SHIFT-related functions, remember: Keep holding down C until the end of the operation. If C is released in mid-operation, you’ll have to start the operation all over again. OCTAVE OCTAVE SHIFT OCTAVE RESET MIDI functions (Group A and Group B) Value entry (Decimal and Hexadecimal) L keys The MIDI functions can be generally divided into three types, according to their operation. 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. NOTE ■ The V / B lamps flash briefly when a function is executed or a message is sent. 1) Holding C and pressing the function’s key.

(See pages 14 and 18 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 16 and 20 for specific Group B functions and how to use them.) Entering Values Value entry on the CBX-K1 can be done in two number systems: Decimal and Hexadecimal. The keys labeled A through F are for Hexadecimal entry. ● 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: results in a value of MSB = 000, LSB = 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. ● 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, ● Entering a decimal value: Hold down C, press the appropriate function key, enter the desired value in decimal format, then press K. 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. ● Entering a hexadecimal value: Hold down C, press the appropriate function key, enter the desired value in hexadecimal format, then press J. Example — Setting the MIDI Transmit Channel to 12: Decimal: C+{→1→2→K Hexadecimal: C+{→c→J Value Entry — Some Specific Examples and Anomalies ● Using K NOTE ■ The order of MSB and LSB entry can be reversed. (See page 20.) 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 cancelled. ■ 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). 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). 13 Using the CBX-K1 — Basic Operations Setting the Functions K.

This and an LSB (Least Significant Byte). example shows how to use the Bank Select function to select different banks. This example also shows you how to use the functions that require entry of two values: MSB and LSB. ● Example: Changing the Portamento Time of a tone generator’s voice C + S → 5 (Portamento Time) → L → {2 → 5 → L} In this example, we’ll enter a value of 012 (MSB) 034 (LSB) C+T→0→1→2→0→3 →4→K NOTE ■ Decimal values of MSB and LSB are 3 digits each (6 digits total); hexadecimal values are 2 digits each. Zeroes must be entered, unless they occur at the beginning of the value. For example, for the decimal value of 001 (MSB) 012 (LSB), the first two zeroes may be omitted, but the third must be entered. In other words, the value could be entered as 1 → 0 → 1 → 2. The operation steps enclosed in brackets ({}) can be repeated or re-entered as long as C is held. NOTE ■ This operation assigns a controller number for the ASSIGNABLE Wheel and sends a specific value for that controller number. You can also send a specific value for the controller (in the Group B functions) without altering the controller assignment. 8 6 Transpose Setting 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 4 above. Selecting a Drum Number (when editing a specific drum number with controller numbers 131 - 141) You can use operation 4 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. 15 Using the CBX-K1 — Basic Operations * 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.

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 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. Group A Functions Explanation Range (Hexadecimal in parentheses) Default Setting MIDI Code Stop command for sequencer/rhythm machine. Continue command for sequencer/rhythm machine. Start command for sequencer/rhythm machine. Tempo entry for sequencer/rhythm machine. Setting this to 0 disables the MIDI clock transmission. When ASSIGNABLE Wheel is set to Tempo (cntrl. no. 148), this is inactive. This allows selection of voice banks on tone generators that support multiple banks. The bank select message must include both MSB and LSB values. This allows entry of program numbers. Stepping up or down through program numbers is also possible by holding down C and using the N / M buttons; see page 10. This resets the connected tone generator to General MIDI operation. WARNING: Be careful when using this, since it automatically changes whatever settings you’ve made on the tone generator. (Only GMcompatible tone generators respond to this message.) 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 connected 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 CBX-K1. Merge can be set independently for each channel in the Group B functions. This determines the MIDI transmit channel for the CBX-K1.

Unlike the Control Change numbers, these use messages composed of three bytes: MSB, LSB and Data Entry. Non-Registered Parameter Numbers (NRPN) are controllers that have been created by one or more manufacturers, but have not been added to the MIDI specification. 20 Thus, NRPN functions may be found on some instruments and not others. The NRPN functions of the CBXK1 support all XG-compatible devices. Unlike the Control Change numbers, these use messages composed of three bytes: MSB, LSB and Data Entry. Other RPN or NRPN messages not provided on the panel can be transmitted using the RPN or NRPN functions in Group A and B.

To turn all sounds off for one specific MIDI channel, use SOUND OFF in Group A. This performs a GM-B reset on a connected tone generator. (This affects only certain tone generators, making their operation compatible with the Yamaha TG300.) — This merges all data received over the selected MIDI channel with the data generated by the CBX-K1. This function can be set independently for each channel. This determines the relative velocity sensitivity of the CBX-K1 keyboard. 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 a connected 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-K1 as a hand-held keyboard. An alternate way to change this setting is to simultaneously hold down N and turn on the power. This inverts the MSB/LSB entry (so that LSB precedes MSB). An alternate way to change this setting is to simultaneously hold down M and turn on the power. This sends a data message of a single byte. (See page 17.) Default Setting MIDI Code — Maximum value is toward rear panel. — — MSBa precedes LSB — 0-255 (0-FF) — <<xx>> ● Footnotes *1 For toggle (on/off) switch functions, the OCTAVE lamps blink rapidly when the function is set to ON, and flash once when it is set to OFF. *2 When Fixed Velocity (in Group A) is set to a value other than 0, the Touch Sensitivity function is inactive. The following table shows the velocity range for some Touch Sensitivity settings.

Troubleshooting Even though the CBX-K1 is easy to use, it may occasionally not function as you expect it to. If that happens, check the possible problems and solutions below before assuming that the instrument is faulty. ● (Problem) — (Possible Cause and Solution) ● Specific functions/messages cannot be executed or sent properly. — While holding down C in the middle of an operation, you may have inadvertently released C. Make sure to hold down C for the duration of the operation. ● A certain function does not respond or work properly. — The connected MIDI device may not support the relevant function on the CBX-K1. ● Incoming data is not merged. — Make sure that Merge is set to ON. Make sure also that the Merge on/off function in Group B is set to ON for the relevant MIDI channel. ● Some messages cannot be merged. — Please refer to the Merge-related Notes in the MIDI Data Format section, page 24. ● Merge is inadvertently set to OFF. — When there is some kind of MIDI receive error, Merge is automatically turned off. Please also refer to the Mergerelated Notes in the MIDI Data Format section, page 24. ● When turning Merge off, the connected tone generator continues to sound. — Please refer to the Merge-related Notes in the MIDI Data Format section, page 24. ● The connected device does not respond to MIDI clock messages, or MIDI clock messages are not sent. — Make sure that the Tempo setting on the CBX-K1 is set to a value other than 0. Also make sure that the connected device is set properly for receiving MIDI clock messages. If another device is connected to the MIDI IN of the CBX-K1 and that device is sending the MIDI clock messages, Merge must be set to ON. ● With Merge set to ON, tempo change messages sent from an external device have no effect. — If an external device is connected to the MIDI IN of the CBXK1, and the CBX-K1 is sending MIDI clock messages, the external device cannot be used to send MIDI clock messages. ● Sending a bank select message also sends a program change message. — This is normal. The CBX-K1 automatically sends the currently set program change number together with a bank select message. ● The RPN or NRPN controller number assigned to the ASSIGNABLE Wheel doesn’t function properly. ● The RPN or NRPN direct data send function doesn’t work properly. — Please refer to the Merge-related Notes in the MIDI Data Format section, page 24. ● When the power is turned off and on again, the settings you made have been cancelled. — This is normal. The CBX-K1 has no internal memory backup. ● Octave Shift function has no effect. — Octave Shift cannot be changed while a key is being held down. ● The B lamp flashes, indicating a MIDI error. — There may be a problem with incoming Active Sensing messages. (See the Note on page 9.) — A MIDI device connected to MIDI IN may have been turned off, or the connecting MIDI cable may have been unplugged or damaged. — Make sure not to connect a MIDI cable to the MIDI IN while executing a function on the CBX-K1. — Too much MIDI data (exceeding the receive capability of the CBX-K1) may have been received at MIDI IN. ● Instead of both V / B lamps flashing (indicatiing proper execution of an operation), only the V lamp flashes. — The battery power is too low for proper operation. Replace all batteries. ● The keyboard is not touch sensitive. — Make sure that Fixed Velocity is set to 0. ● The Fixed Velocity setting has no effect. — Tne Fixed Velocity setting is inactive when Velocity is assigned to the ASSIGNABLE Wheel. ● The Tempo setting has no effect. — Tne Tempo setting is inactive when Tempo is assigned to the ASSIGNABLE Wheel. ● The All Sound Off function has no effect. — All Sound Off in the Group A functions only applies to the cureently selected MIDI channel. Also, some tone generators may not respond to the All Sound Off message. ● The rightmost five keys of the keyboard do not sound at the expected pitch. — When set to the highest octave range, the rightmost five keys are set to play notes Gm4 (80) through C5 (84). ● Even when Touch Sensitivity is active, the effective velocity range is narrower than expected. — Please refer to Footnote #2 on page 21 for details on velocity range. ● Some of the keys do not respond to after touch pressure when playing several notes simultaneously. — Polyphonic Key Pressure After Touch applies only to the highest note played. 23 MIDI Data Format ■ MIDI Reception ● Merge-related Notes MIDI messages received from an external device at MIDI IN can be merged with the data generated by the CBX-K1, and are transmitted as is from MIDI OUT. However, there are some exceptions, as listed below: * <<F4>>, <<F5>> and any subsequent data bytes will not be merged. * All Note Off message (<<Bn 7B 00>>) will not be merged. * When the CBX-K1 is set to send <<F8>> messages, <<F8>> messages from an external device will not be merged. * When the CBX-K1 is not set to send <<F8>> messages, <<F8>> messages from an external device can be merged. * <<FE>> will not be merged. * When Merge is set to ON, and an <<FE>> message has not been received for over approximately 600 ms, an Active Sensing error occurs. * 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. * If during transmission of System Exclusive messages, the messages are cut off or interrupted (for over approximately 400 ms), a MIDI error occurs. * When Merge is set to on, and RPN/NRPN messages are sent from both the CBX-K1 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-K1 simply turns Merge off, without changing the Note On status. During merging of System Exclusive data, all operations from the CBX-K1 are ignored, and <<FE>> and <<F8>> messages from the CBX-K1 will be stopped. This may cause some problems, as listed below: * Any operations executed from the CBX-K1, in the middle of a System Exclusive message (<<F0-F7>>) sent from an external device, are ignored. CBX-K1 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-K1 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-K1 during reception of large System Exclusive messages, such as bulk dumps. 24 ● Response of the CBX-K1 During MIDI Errors When a MIDI reception error occurs (such as buffer full, Active Sensing, interruption of System Exclusive, etc.), the CBX-K1 responds as follows: 1. Merge is set to OFF. 2. The MIDI transmit/receive buffer is cleared. 3. Damper Off, All Note Off, All Sound Off messages are transmitted over all channels. 4. Transmission of messages (including <<FE>> and <<F8>>) are interrupted for approximately 0.8 seconds. During this time, operations from the CBX-K1 are ignored. 5. The B lamp flashes, indicating a MIDI error. ■ MIDI Transmission 1.
