CHAPTER 3: SETTlNG UP THE KX88

CA (controller assign) MODE

Wheel 2 = Volume

In the last chapter, we learned what functions had been

assigned to the controllers when the KX88 left the factory.

In this chapter, we will learn how to assign any function to

any controller.

Most of the frequently-used functions have been stored in

the KX88’s memory and given a number; a CONTROLLER

CODE. (These CONTROLLER CODES) are printed on the

right side of the KX88.

The steps in assigning a controller are

1. Select a controller. (bank A switches 1-10, TS, MS and

FS switches)

2. Enter the controller code. (bank B switches 0-F)

To say it another way, you must decide

1. Which controller?

2. Does what?

Let’s try assigning Wheel 2 (W2) to Volume. (W2 = Volume)

Enter C.A. mode by pressing the MODE switch.

The LED will indicate CONTROLLER and the readout

will show CA.

Now, we must choose which controller we are assigning;

in this case W2. Above the bank A program selector

switches 1-10 you will see the various controllers indi-

cated. Select Wheel 2 by pressing program selector

switch 2. The upper readout will show which controller

you have selected.

Now, using the bank B program select switches 1-F,

enter the CONTROLLER CODE you want to assign to

Wheel 2. In this case, volume, which is controller code

17. Press bank B program select switch 1 and then 7.

NOTE: In CA mode, the numbers of the select switches

go from 0 to F, as is written above the switches.

Controllers (wheels, pedals, footswitches, switches,

sliders) will work only in PLAY mode. So, to try out the

new assignment you have made (Wheel 2 = Volume),

go back to PLAY mode and move Wheel 2. The volume

should change accordingly.

SUB GROUP NO.

• To assign controllers which are not listed above the bank

A program select keys (TS, MS and FS), simply press that

controller. For example, if you wanted to assign MS1,

press MS1 while you are in CA mode. The upper readout

will indicate MS1 and the lower will indicate the present

controller code. Use the bank B switches 0-F to enter the

new controller code. If you do not want to change the

controller code, just press another controller select switch

or go back to PLAY mode.

PARAMETER NO.

TRANSPOSE

CHANNEL

• Controllers send MIDI signals only when moved. So for

instance, if you hold down the Foot Switch 1 (FS1 =

Sustain) and enter CA mode, the sustain will continue

even if you release the foot switch. (Controllers operate

only in PLAY mode.) When this happens, go back to

PLAY mode and press and release the foot switch.
