Yamaha CBX-K2 Using the SHIFT-Related Functions

Reference

Using the SHIFT-Related Functions

The enormous flexibility and power of the CBX-K2 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/Slider for real-time

control change.

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

■

Both N / M

lamps flash briefly when a function is executed. The

LED display flashes briefly when a MIDI 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.

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.

When changing a function, the LED display indicates

the on/off status or the value of the function.

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.

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.
