Playing and Using Your CBX-K2

Many currently available tone generators feature multiple
banks of voices. The CBX-K2 can be used to quickly and
easily select these additional banks. Some banks may not
be available on your particular tone generator; check the
manual for details.

Operation

1.

Simultaneously hold down

C and press

T.

The LED display indicates the current Bank setting by
alternately flashing the MSB and LSB values. (In this
case, the default setting, both of these values are 000.)

Changing the Voice Banks

2.

While continuing to hold down

C, enter the

number 64 (press

6, then 4), then press

K.

The range of the 4-octave keyboard can be easily shifted up
or down to cover the full 10-1/2-octave (128-note) range of
MIDI notes. (See on page 9 for the note range.)

Operation

To shift the keyboard up one octave, press
M. To shift the keyboard down one
octave, press

N.

When the octave range is changed, the LED display briefly
indicates the new setting. The OCTAVE SHIFT lamps
also rapidly flash one or more times, according to the
selected octave range. For example, when the setting is
changed to two octaves below normal, the left lamp flashes
twice.

Changing the Octave Range

You can instantly restore the normal octave range by
pressing both

N/M buttons

simultaneously.

NOTE

At the highest octave setting, keys outside the

legal MIDI note range will repeat a previous octave.

This sets the Bank to 064 (LSB value). The LED
display alternately flashes the MSB and LSB values,
000 and 064.

To restore the original Bank (or select other Banks), hold
down

C, press T, 0 (or another number

for a different Bank), and

K.
