User manual YAMAHA KX88

[. . . ] NOTE: The smaller the AWG number, the larger the current handling capacity. This product should be used only with the components supplied or; a cart, rack, or stand that is recommended by Yamaha. If a cart, etc. , is used, please observe all safety markings and instructions that accompany the accessory product. Battery Notice: This product MAY contain a small non-rechargeable battery which (if applicable) is soldered in place. [. . . ] The KX provides 30 Control Templates which can be used for various VSTi plug-ins. By selecting the desired one from 30 Control Templates, you can assign the functions appropriate for the current VSTi to the CONTROL knobs. When using Cubase, any time you select an Instrument track or select a MIDI track for which the destination is set to VSTi, or change the VSTi assigned to the current track, the Control Template on the KX will automatically change. This means that you need not select the Control Template manually when using Cubase. Use these knobs to adjust the values of the VSTi parameters. Pressing the Function Select button switches between the two groups of parameter assignments. Use this button to switch the parameters to be adjusted via the CONTROL knobs (between parameters 1­4 and 5­8). These lamps indicate which parameter set (1­4 or 5­8) is assigned to the CONTROL knobs. When the Top display is shown, the names of the parameters to be adjusted via the CONTROL knobs are shown normally. When controlling the knob, the values of the parameters are shown for a while, then the original display appears again. You can scroll the display to confirm the entire parameter name by pressing the [EXIT] button. Using the Automation function of Cubase lets you record your knob operations to an Instrument track. For details about the Automation function, refer to the Cubase owner's manual. NOTE · For details about the available Control Template, refer to the Control Template List on page 45. · When using a DAW other than Cubase, you need to change the Control Template manually on the KX.

The current octave range can be confirmed via the status of the LED lamp above the button. Three octaves lower Two octaves lower One octave lower Initial default setting The following Velocity Curves are available: This curve produces high velocity values even for low playing strength. This curve produces relatively high velocity values even for low playing strength. This is a normal, linear curve that has a one-to-one correspondence between your playing strength and the resulting velocity. This curve produces relatively low velocity values even for high playing strength. Select this if you don't want the volume to change much when you play strongly. This curve produces low velocity values even for high playing strength. This curve is also the optimum Velocity Curve for use with the HALionOne VSTi. Soft2 (Flashes) Soft1 Normal One octave higher Two octaves higher Three octaves higher Hard1 (Flashes) NOTE You can reverse the LED status (on or off) of the OCTAVE buttons.
