CHAPTER 2: FUNCTION OF THE KX88

SUMMARY OF THE KX88

OPERATION MODES

The KX88 has three modes of operation: PLAY mode, CA

mode, and PA mode.

You will normally play the KX88 in PLAY mode. When

you operate the various controllers while in this mode, the

MIDI data that has been assigned to the controllers will be

sent.

In CA mode, you may assign functions (controller codes

00-FF) to the various controllers.

In PA mode, you may define controller codes 40-FF to

be any desired MIDI information. Controller codes 00-3F

have been preset at the factory and cannot be changed.

Pressing MODE will take you back and forth between

PLAY and CA modes. To enter PA mode, press MODE for

about 1 second while in CA mode. Pressing MODE again

will take you back to PLAY mode.

MIDI CHANNEL

The KX88 sends MIDI channel messages on two channels

simultaneously. We will call these MIDI BANK A and B.

The channel number for each bank may be set independ-

ently.

FUNCTIONS OF THE KX88

PLAY MODE

When Wheel 1-2, Breath Controller, After touch, CS1-4,

Foot Controller 1-2, MS1-5, and Foot Switch 1-2 are

operated, MIDI status and data will be sent, according to

the controller code that has been assigned to that

controller.

TS1-2

These are each assigned two functions, which are alter-

nated each time they are pressed. The indicator LED for

each switch shows which function is next.

Program select switches A 1-16, B 1-16

Banks A and B send MIDI program select messages on

independent channels, and you can select voice programs

independently for each bank, using the bank switches

and program select switches. In 2 bank mode you can

select voice programs 1-32, and in 8 bank mode, voice

programs 1-128. (See page 20)

Keyboard modes. The KX88 keyboard sends MIDI key

on/off information in three modes.

SINGLE; Key on/off information will be sent on either

bank A or B. Select bank A or B by pressing a bank

switch or program select switch of that bank.

DUAL; Key on/off information from the entire key-

board will be sent on both banks A and B.

SPLIT; Keys lower than (or equal to) the selected split

point will send key on/off information on MIDI bank A,

and keys above the split point will send key on/off infor-

mation on MIDI bank B.

CA MODE

In CA mode, the program select switches perform the

functions printed above them. Use the bank A program

select switches 1-10 to select controllers Wheel 1-Foot

controller 2. The bank switch LEDs indicate which bank

(A, B or both) this controller is active for. You may

enable/disable each bank by pressing its bank switch.

The upper readout will show which controller you have

selected. (see below)

The lower readout will show the current controller code

assigned to that controller. When you enter a new control-

ler code (using bank B program select switches 1-16), it will

be displayed in the lower readout and the controller assign-

ment will change to the controller code you have just

entered.
