Introduction
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha KX25 / KX49 / KX61 USB KEYBOARD STUDIO.
Included in the package are the KX MIDI keyboard for controlling a computer via USB as well as the DAW
application software, Cubase AI4. Simply connect the KX to a computer via USB, and you’ve got a
comprehensive control center and seamless environment for complete music production.
In order to take full advantage of the KX’s superior functionality and enjoy years of trouble-free use, please
read this manual before you begin using the product. Also, keep this book in a safe place for future reference.
Features
Link with Cubase
The KX keyboard is equipped with link functions specifically designed for Cubase software (Cubase 4, Studio
4, and AI4), providing tremendous efficiency and speed in your workflow.
Track operations on VST plug-in instruments (VSTi)
The KX has no built-in tone generator; it is a keyboard controller designed to play the sounds of VST plug-in
instruments (VSTi) on your connected computer. The KX lets you conveniently perform certain VSTi operations
in your DAW directly from the KX panel, including creating tracks and selecting programs (instrument voices).
Four knobs for real-time control of various parameters
These versatile knobs give you real-time control over parameters in your VSTi software. Simply select the
Control Template for the VSTi you wish to control (30 pre-programmed templates are built in), and you can
use the four knobs to control the sound of your VSTi remotely. Many popular VSTi are covered by the
templates; however, you can also create/customize your own to use with your favorite VSTi.
Powerful Arpeggio feature
The KX also has a built-in Arpeggio feature that lets you easily play various rhythmic patterns and ‘sequenced’
phrases, depending on the notes you press. These include a wide variety of vintage analog synthesizer-like
arpeggios, guitar/bass riffs, and drum/percussion rhythm patterns—all of which can be triggered instantly and
held automatically to provide dynamic, realistic backing for your performance.
USB bus-powered
The KX can be powered by the USB connection to your computer. This means you can simply connect the KX
to a USB terminal on your computer, get full power, and not have to worry about setting up an AC adaptor.
Included Accessories
• AC power adaptor (PA-3C, PA-130, or equivalent)*

If you’ve followed the instructions on pages 13–15, you’ve connected your KX and computer as shown below.
(Additional devices shown below have been included to cover other possible setups.) Keep in mind that all
further instructions in this manual assume the connection has been made properly. Also remember that you’ll
need a set of headphones or a speaker system to hear the sounds from your computer.
As necessary, connect the MIDI devices such as synthesizer, tone generator and sequencer to the KX.

example illustration above, this setting lets you play the sound of the tone generator from the KX
keyboard.
NOTE
Footswitch
While holding an optional footswitch (Yamaha FC4 or FC5) connected to the SUSTAIN jack, the note you
pressed then released works as if you held it. For organ sounds that have no natural decay, holding down
the footswitch will maintain the sound at the same level even if you release the note. For piano sounds that
have a natural decay, holding down the footswitch will decay the sound naturally even if you release the
note. For the Arpeggio function (page 31), holding down the footswitch will maintain playback of the
Arpeggio. Keep in mind that such operations are available only when devices (such as a connected MIDI
tone generator or a VSTi on the connected computer) that can recognize Control Change #64 are active.
Be sure to connect or disconnect the footswitch to the SUSTAIN jack while the power of the KX is
turned off. If you disconnect the footswitch while the power is turned on, the footswitch function
becomes “stuck”—in other words, the sound will continue to sustain, or Arpeggio playback will continue
indefinitely.

Setting up on Cubase
To use the Link function with Cubase, it is
necessary to change the settings of the KX
according to the DAW on your computer.
The MIDI messages generated on the KX (by
playing the keyboard, controlling the Pitch Bend
Wheel and the Modulation Wheel, and so on) are
transmitted via USB-MIDI Port 1 from the KX to
Cubase. Keep in mind that MIDI data transmitted
via the USB-MIDI Ports 2 and 3 are not related to
music performance (including the instrument
change). This means that any messages received
over these ports may be recognized as instrument
change and hence may result in unexpected
sounds. To avoid this, you should remove the
checkmark of “All MIDI Input” for USB-MIDI Port 2
and Port 3.

Using the KX with Cubase
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.
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.
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
