PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING  
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.  
WARNING  
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death  
from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but  
are not limited to, the following:  
Power supply/AC power adaptor  
Water warning  
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The  
required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.  
• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or  
wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which  
might spill into any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into  
the instrument, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power  
cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by  
qualified Yamaha service personnel.  
• Use the specified adaptor (PA-3C, PA-130 or an equivalent  
recommended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result  
in damage to the instrument or overheating.  
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust  
which may have accumulated on it.  
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.  
• Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters  
or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the  
cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone  
could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.  
Fire warning  
• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.  
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.  
Do not open  
If you notice any abnormality  
• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal  
parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-  
serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning,  
discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified  
Yamaha service personnel.  
• If the AC adaptor cord, plug or USB cable becomes frayed or  
damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the  
instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be  
caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the  
adaptor plug from the outlet, disconnect the USB cable and have the  
instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.  
CAUTION  
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or  
others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited  
to, the following:  
Power supply/AC power adaptor  
Location  
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet,  
always hold the plug itself and not the cord.  
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or  
extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a

• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are  
using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs,  
immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from  
the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is still  
flowing to the product at the minimum level. When you are not using  
the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power cord from  
the wall AC outlet.  
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on  
the panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power  
immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then  
have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service  
personnel.  
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since  
this might discolor the panel or keyboard.  
• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument,  
and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or  
connectors.  
Connections  
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components,  
turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or  
off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be  
sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels  
and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument  
to set the desired listening level.  
• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of  
time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause  
permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or  
ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

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.

While the KX is turned ON, the Macintosh  
computer connected to the KX via USB  
cannot enter the power-saving mode  
(such as sleep and suspended) even if  
you do not operate the computer for a  
long time. When connected in this  
condition, the KX continues to draw power  
from the computer, even if you are not  
using it. Particularly when the computer is  
under battery power, you should make  
sure to set the STANDBY/ON switch of  
the KX to STANDBY in order to save  
power and avoid draining the computer’s  
battery.  
NOTE  
the DC IN connector on the rear panel.  
3. Plug the power adaptor into a standard  
household power outlet.

·
The USB bus-power function can be used  
only when connecting the KX to a  
computer directly without using a hub or  
connecting the KX to a computer via a  
self-powered USB hub. This function  
cannot be used when connecting the KX  
to a computer via a bus-powered USB  
hub.  
WARNING  
• Use only the included power adaptor (PA-3C or PA-  
130) or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha).  
Use of a different adaptor may result in equipment  
damage, overheating, or fire. Doing so will also  
immediately void the product warranty, even if the  
effective warranty period has not expired.  
The USB bus-power function will not work  
when using the AC adaptor.  
Turning the Power On and  
Off

What You Can Do With the KX  
What You Can Do With the KX  
The KX is, of course, a MIDI keyboard—however, it also provides a wealth of other convenient and powerful  
features for use with your computer and DAW software. Here’s a short introduction to what you can do with  
your KX.  
Keyboard Performance  
Real-time Parameter Control  
Play the keyboard and use the various controllers  
(including the Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels)  
to play/change the sounds of the VSTi on the  
computer (via USB) or a connected MIDI tone  
generator (via MIDI).  
Use the CONTROL knobs on the KX to control  
various sound-shaping parameters on the VSTi or a  
connected tone generator.

Connection  
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.

means that MIDI communication is only possible via the MIDI connectors (and not via USB). In the  
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  
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.

Using the KX with Cubase  
Using the KX with Cubase  
The KX features a special Link feature that allows you seamless control over various functions in Cubase and  
provides enormous efficiency and speed in your music production workflow. Make sure you’ve connected all  
devices and properly set up your system (as described on pages 13–16), then try using the KX with Cubase  
according to the instructions here.  
Setting up on the KX  
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.

For data transfer via a USB cable between the  
KX and the computer, you can use three MIDI  
ports by installing the USB-MIDI driver. Each of  
three MIDI ports can handle the different MIDI  
messages as described below.  
“Yamaha KX-2” and “Yamaha KX-3” on  
Windows and “YAMAHA KX YAMAHA KX Port  
2” and “YAMAHA KX YAMAHA KX Port 3” on  
Macintosh correspond to MIDI Port 2 and MIDI  
Port 3 respectively. MIDI Ports 2 and 3 of the  
KX handle the messages generated via the  
operations other than keyboard performance  
such as operations via the CONTROL knobs  
and operations on the KX Editor of the  
computer. Removing the checkmarks  
corresponding to these MIDI ports will avoid  
accidentally recording non-keyboard data to a  
track in Cubase.  
MIDI Port 1:  
This port is indicated as “Yamaha KX-1” on  
Windows and “YAMAHA KX YAMAHA KX Port 1”  
on Macintosh. This port is used for data transfer  
of the musical performance such as keyboard  
performance (note on/off), Modulation wheel  
operation (Control Change) and Pitch Bend  
wheel operation.

several measures and changing patterns as  
desired. Each of the Arpeggio types in the Category  
“DrPc” (selected with the default initial setting)

respectively to four different tracks. Each of these  
patterns is assigned to a specific area of the  
keyboard. You can call up the desired pattern by  
pressing any note in a specific area, as shown  
below.  
For these “DrPc” (Drum/Percussion) Arpeggio  
types, the keyboard of the KX is divided into four  
six-note groups, each group having a different

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  
the [EXIT] button.  
Using the Automation function of Cubase lets you record your knob operations to an Instrument track. For  
details about the Automation function, refer to the Cubase owner’s manual.

Using the KX with a DAW Other than Cubase  
When using Digital Performer (Macintosh):  
In each of these cases, you need to set the MIDI Port in the “Audio MIDI setup.”  
1. In the start up disk of Mac OS X (normally named “Macintosh HD”), open “Application” then  
“Utilities” and double click “Audio MIDI Setup”.  
2. Click [MIDI Devices] if the [Audio Device] window is indicated.  
The YAMAHA KX icon appears if the KX is recognized by the Macintosh computer.  
3. Add two new external devices by clicking the [Add Device] icon twice.  
Each new external device corresponds to each of the MIDI Ports in the KX. It is a good idea to input  
your desired device name in the Properties of the new external device in order to easily recognize  
the MIDI port later.  
4. Connect the MIDI input/output plugs of the KX icon to the MIDI input/output plugs of the new  
external device.  
Assign the names as listed below to the newly added devices respectively.  
• USB-MIDI Port 1 (left plug) : YAMAHA KX YAMAHA KX Port 1  
• USB-MIDI Port 2 (right plug) : YAMAHA KX YAMAHA KX Port 2  
Connect the virtual plugs so that each port can handle MIDI messages.  
YAMAHA KX YAMAHA KX Port 3 (rightmost plug) used for data communication of the KX Editor  
does not need to be set.
