Next, the upper readout will show SG (Su/jointfilesconvert/286656/bgroup). Enter

the appropriate su/jointfilesconvert/286656/bgroup. For this example, 0.

Now the upper readout will show P (Parameter), so enter

the parameter number. The parameter number for Op. 6

Frequency Fine is 13 (Hexdecimal).

Now go back to CA mode and assign Controller Code 41

to a controller, for example CS3. Then, go to PLAY

mode and try out the new assignment you have made.

As you move the slider, the harmonic structure of the

sound should change interestingly.

Controller Code 42 = Feedback

Controlling the amount of feedback (in a DX synthesizer

operator) using Aftertouch is also interesting.

Enter PA mode.

Press PARAMETER CHANGE.

Enter the controller code you want to define. (42)

Assign the limit. The DX series feedback has a range of

0 to 7. So, press bank B switch 2 to select a limit of 7.

(For details, see page 28)

Now enter the group. number for the parameter you

want. (See the DX7 MIDI data list on page 00) In this

case, 00.

Enter the su/jointfilesconvert/286656/bgroup. In this case, 0.

Enter the parameter number. In this case, 07.

Go back to CA mode and assign controller code 42 to

Aftertouch. Then, go to PLAY mode and try it out.

Try using a voice that normally does not have very much

feedback. When you press down on the keyboard, the

sound will become much brighter.

Controller Code 43 = Op. 6 Keyboard

Level Scaling Break Point

The idea of this assignment is to use a Foot Controller to

move the break point up and down the keyboard. If the left

and right level scaling depth is set rather high (-LIN), and

if this operator is a modulator, you will get a very strange

“Wah” effect swept up and down the keyboard. Anyway,

let’s give it a try.

Enter PA mode.

Press PARAMETER CHANGE.

Enter the controller code. (43)

Assign the limit. Keyboard Level Scaling Break Point has

a range of 0 to 99. So press bank B switch 6 to set a

limit of 99.

Enter the group number. (00)

Enter the su/jointfilesconvert/286656/bgroup number. (0)

Enter the parameter number. (Op. 6 Keyboard Level

Scaling Break Point is 08)

Go back to CA mode and assign controller code 43 to

FC2. Then, go to PLAY mode and try it out. The effect

will change depending on the voice, especially Op. 6

output level and level scaling settings.

Experiment with it.

Controller Code 44 = PITCH EG Level 1

Here’s another interesting setting. It’s especially effective

if you enable it for only one MIDI bank.

Enter PA mode.

Press PARAMETER CHANGE.

Enter the controller code. (44)

Set the limit. PITCH EG Level 1 has a range of 0 to 99,

so press bank B switch 6 to choose a limit of 99.

Enter the group number. (00)

Enter the su/jointfilesconvert/286656/bgroup number. (1)

Enter the parameter number. (Pitch EG Level 1 is 02)

Go back to CA mode and assign controller code 44 to

CS3. (Disable bank B) Then, go to PLAY mode and try

it out. It will help if you set Pitch EG Rate 2 to a

moderate rate (about 20) When you hit a note, the two

tone generators will at first be dissonant, and then

slowly resolve. Use CS3 to adjust the amount of effect.

(In center position, no effect.)

By now you should have a fairly good idea of the

possibilities of the KX88. It is important to keep a

record of the settings you have made, and we suggest

that you copy and use the form on page 00. If you have

been following all the examples, the form would look

like this.
