PRECAUTIONS
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:
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The
required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
• If the AC adaptor cord, plug or USB cable becomes frayed or

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:
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet,
always hold the plug itself and not the cord.
• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or
during electrical storms.
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a
multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or
possibly cause overheating in the 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.
• 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

About the latest Firmware Version
Yamaha may from time to time update firmware of the KX without notice for improvement. Likewise, the DAW software used together with the KX
may be updated from time to time. As a result, the link functions between the KX and the DAW software may not work properly depending on the
firmware version of the KX and the software version of the DAW. If such a situation occurs, refer to the website below to find the latest information.
http://www.yamahasynth.com/
Note that the explanations in this Owner’s Manual apply to the version of firmware when this Owner’s Manual was produced. For details about the
additional functions due to later releases, refer to the above website.
Introduction
Owner’s Manual
6
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha KX25 / KX49 / KX61 / KX8 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.
Link with Cubase
The KX keyboard is equipped with link functions specifically designed for Cubase software (Cubase 4, Studio
4, Essential 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.
• AC power adaptor (PA-3C, PA-130, or equivalent)*
• Owner’s Manual (this book)

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.
CAUTION
•Wrap the DC output cable of the adaptor around the
cable clip (as shown below) to prevent accidental
unplugging of the cable during operation. Avoid
tightening the cord more than necessary or pulling on
the cord strongly while it is wrapped around the cable
clip to prevent wear on the cord or possible breakage
of the clip.
Using the KX as a USB bus-powered
device
The KX is a bus-powered type device which can be
powered by the host computer connected via a
USB cable. In this case, the AC power adaptor is
not necessary.
1.
Make sure that the STANDBY/ON switch of

DC IN
NOTE
·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.
· The USB bus-power function can be used
only when connecting the KX to a
computer directly without using a hub or

What You Can Do With the KX
Owner’s Manual
12
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
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).
Transport/Track Operations
on the DAW Software
Use the KX to control transport functions (such as
Play, Record and Stop), as well as mute and solo
selected tracks within Cubase.
Window Operations on the VSTi
When using Cubase, you can instantly open or
close the VSTi related window and create a track for
the VSTi from the KX.
Real-time Parameter Control
Use the CONTROL knobs on the KX to control
various sound-shaping parameters on the VSTi or a
connected tone generator.
Phrase/Rhythm Performance
with Arpeggio Feature
This powerful feature lets you easily play various
rhythmic patterns and ‘sequenced’ phrases. 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.
What You Can Do With the KX

Precautions when using the USB TO HOST
connector
When connecting the computer to the USB TO
HOST connector, make sure to observe the
following points. Failing to do so risks freezing
the computer and corrupting or even losing the
data.
If the computer or the instrument freezes, restart
the application software or the computer OS, or
turn the power to the instrument off then on
again.
CAUTION
• Use an AB type USB cable of less than about 3
meters.
• Before connecting the computer to the USB TO
HOST connector, exit from any power-saving
mode (such as suspended, sleep, standby) of the
computer.
• Before turning on the power to the instrument,
connect the computer to the USB TO HOST
connector.
• Execute the following before turning the power to
the instrument on/off or plugging/unplugging the
USB cable to/from the USB TO HOST connector.
- Quit any open applications.
- Make sure that data is not being transmitted
from the instrument. (Data is transmitted only by
playing notes on the keyboard or playing back
an Arpeggio.)
•While a USB device is connected to the

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.
NOTE
As necessary, connect the MIDI devices such as synthesizer, tone generator and sequencer to the KX.
NOTE
· Once all software and drivers have been properly installed (pages 13–15), and with the initial default
settings (MIDI Select = USB, on page 37; MIDI Thru = MIDI → USB, on page 38), the KX can control the
DAW software on your computer via a USB cable. This allows you to play the voices of plug-in
instruments (including VSTi) on your computer from the keyboard of the KX. Also, MIDI messages
generated on a connected MIDI device (such as the synthesizer shown above) can be transmitted
through the KX to the computer. This allows you to play back songs on a MIDI device and have the
voices of your plug-in software sound.
·When the MIDI Select parameter (page 37) is set to “MIDI,” the USB connector will be inactive. This
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.
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.
NOTE
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.

select the desired DAW software.
■ When using Cubase 4/Cubase Studio 4/
Cubase Essential 4:
Select “Cubase4.”
■ When using Cubase AI4:
Select “CubaseAI.”
5.
Press the [EXIT] button to return to the
original display.
Setting up on Cubase
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.
1.
Start Cubase on your computer.
Important!
Cubase cannot recognize the KX if you turn the
power of the KX on after starting Cubase. Make
sure to start Cubase after turning on the power of
the KX.
2.
Select “Device Setup” from the “Device”
menu of Cubase.
The Device dialog appears.
3.
Click “MIDI Port Setup” in the Devices
column.
The MIDI ports of Cubase appear at right of the
dialog.
Using the KX with Cubase
NOTE
· The explanations here use screen
examples taken from Windows. The
instructions for using Macintosh are the
same.
· For further details about the USB-MIDI
Ports 1–3, refer to page 18.

4.
Remove the checkmarks by clicking the
check boxes of “All MIDI Inputs”
corresponding to the KX MIDI Ports 2 and 3
respectively.
“Yamaha KX-2” and “Yamaha KX-3” on
Windows and “YAMAHA KX Port 2” and
“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.
5.
Click [OK] to close the dialog.
NOTE
The checkmark of “All MIDI Inputs”
corresponding to the KX MIDI Port 2 should
be removed since “Extensions for Steinberg
DAW” is included normally in “TOOLS for
KX.” Remove the checkmark of “All MIDI
Inputs” corresponding to the KX MIDI Port 2
only if the checkmark is checked for some
reasons.
This is an example screen when using
Windows. The corresponding
Macintosh indications are “YAMAHA
KX Port 2” and “YAMAHA KX Port 3.”
Remove the
checkmark.
Click “MIDI Port Setup.”
MIDI ports on the KX
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.
MIDI Port 1:
This port is indicated as “Yamaha KX-1” on
Windows and “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.
MIDI Port 2:
This port is indicated as “Yamaha KX-2” on
Windows and “YAMAHA KX Port 2” on
Macintosh. This port is used for data transfer
generated by using the DAW REMOTE buttons
(with the exception of the Cursor buttons, [ESC]
button and [ENTER] button) and CONTROL
knobs.
MIDI Port 3:
This port is indicated as “Yamaha KX-3” on
Windows and “YAMAHA KX Port 3” on
Macintosh. This port is used for data transfer
generated by operating the KX Editor on the
computer.
NOTE
· When the MIDI Select parameter is
set to “MIDI” (page 37) and the USB
TO HOST connector becomes
inactive, the data communication
described above cannot be performed.
· When using DAW software other than
Cubase, perform the MIDI setup
manually on the DAW software so that
MIDI Port 1 can handle performance
data (such as note on/off) and MIDI
Port 2 can handle data generated by
controlling the Transport function.
·When using DAW software other than
Cubase, the MIDI messages
generated by using the CONTROL
knob will be transmitted via USB-MIDI
Port 1. Also when using Cubase, the
MIDI messages generated by using
the CONTROL knob will be
transmitted via USB-MIDI Port 1 only
when the KnobOutSel parameter is
set to “CC.”
· On Windows XP, “USB 0-1” (different
from the above port name) may be
shown as the port name. If this
happens, select [Start] ➝ [Control
Panel], double-click [Yamaha USB-
MIDI Driver], enter the checkmark to
the check box of “Use Device Name
As Port Name (Valid after system
restart.),” then restart the computer.
