Precautions Your CBX-K1XG will give you years of reliable service if you follow the simple precautions below: q 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. q 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. q 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. q 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. q 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-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. q 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. q 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. q 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. 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 multitimbral 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 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-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. * * * * Macintosh is a trademark of Apple Computer Inc.

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.
