FC1 = PITCH BEND (Bank B)

CONTROLLING A RHYTHM MACHINE

OR SEQUENCER

Here’s a rather interesting assignment; use the foot control-

ler to pitch bend only one of the MIDI banks.

Enter CA mode.

Select Foot Controller 1.

Disable bank A by pressing bank switch A. (the LED

goes off)

Enter the new controller code. (10 PITCH BEND)

Go back to PLAY mode and try it out. When the foot

controller is in normal position (flat, for the Yamaha

FC7) the pitch bend will be 0.

FS1 =SUSTAIN (A), FS2 = SUSTAIN (B)

Let’s give banks A and B separate sustain foot switches.

Enter CA mode.

Press FS1.

Disable bank B by pressing bank switch B.

Enter the controller code. (18 SUSTAIN ON/OFF)

Repeat steps 2-4, with FS2 and disabling bank A.

Go back to PLAY mode and try it out. This assignment

is especially nice in split mode. You can sustain notes on

the lower part of the keyboard while playing staccato on

the upper part.

This KX88 is not limited to sending keyboard information.

Let’s set it up to control a rhythm machine (such as the

RX15) and/or a sequencer (such as the QX1). With two

momentary switches and a continuous slider, we will send

Start, Stop and MIDI Clock information.

Enter CA mode.

Select MS4

Enter the controller code. (32 START)

Select MS5.

Enter the controller code. (34 STOP)

Select CS2.

Enter the controller code. (31 MIDI CLOCK)

Go back to PLAY mode and try it out. You will need to

connect a rhythm machine or sequencer to the KX88 as

shown below.

When you press MS4, the rhythm machine or sequencer

will start, and when you press MS5 it will stop. Adjust

the tempo with CS2.
