Controlling the VSTi by Using the CONTROL Knobs
Operating the CONTROL knobs on the KX panel edits or controls various parameters of the VSTi used on the
computer. 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, selecting an Instrument track or changing the VSTi assigned to the current track will
automatically change the Control Template on the KX. This means that you need not select the Control
Template manually when using Cubase.
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.
· The time that the value remains displayed can be changed. For details, refer to “Utility Settings” on
page 36.
· When using a DAW other than Cubase, you need to change the Control Template manually on the KX.
Use these knobs to adjust the values of the VSTi parameters.
A total of eight different parameters can be controlled. 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 1–4 and 5–8).
These lamps indicate which parameter set (1–4 or 5–8) is assigned
to the CONTROL knobs.
