KX Editor is a convenient tool which lets you edit/create Control Templates for the KX USB Keyboard Studio. These Control
Templates let you assign the appropriate functions for your favorite VSTi to the CONTROL knobs on the KX. While the KX han-
dles up to 30 Control Templates (in a single Bank), the KX Editor can be used to create and organize multiple Banks, each of
which contain 30 Control Templates. Data of a single Bank containing 30 Control Templates created on the KX Editor can be
transferred from the computer to the KX and saved to the computer as a single file (.xml).
Within the KX Editor, you can select a Bank then edit each one of the 30 Control Template contained in the selected Bank. After
finishing your edits of the selected Bank (called “Current Bank”), save the Bank data to the Library by using the “Save Bank” or
“Save Bank As…” menu. The Bank data saved to the Library can be recalled when starting the KX Editor next time. If you want
to archive the Bank data, save it as a single file (extension: xml) to the computer by using the “Export” menu.
Refer to the illustration below to understand the data structure of the KX Editor.

After installing the KX Editor and related applications by following the Installation Guide of the KX Editor, follow the instruc-
tions below. Before starting, make sure that the KX is properly connected to the computer via a USB cable. There is no single way
to use the many components in the KX Editor. Your editing needs and preferences may differ; however, the following example
gives you a simple step-by-step guide in how to use the KX Editor.
After completing installation of the KX Editor, start the DAW software once then quit it. This operation is necessary to scan through
the DAW software for obtaining the VSTi-related information. Only DAW software produced by Steinberg (such as Cubase) can be
scanned.
1 Start the KX Editor by selecting [Start] → All Programs → [Yamaha KX] → [KX Editor].
The Auto Sync window appears and the settings of the 30 Control Templates on the KX are transferred automatically to the
Current Bank (page 7) of the KX Editor.
After transfer has been successfully completed, the Bank window appears.
If data transfer in the Auto Sync window fails even when the KX and computer are connected properly, make sure to set the MIDI
Select parameter to “USB” and the Device Number parameter to “1” or “All” in the Utility display on the KX.

menu in the [File] menu) and obtaining the VSTi-related information.
4 Click [OK] to start the Scan operation.
The VSTi plug-ins registered to the specified DAW software will be scanned and the information necessary for editing will
be obtained.
After the scanning is completed, the previous display will appear. The setup of the KX Editor is finished.
If the VSTi scanning is not performed when you click [OK] in step 4, select [File] → [VSTi Database] → [Full Scan] to exe-
cute scanning.

6 Select the Control Template on the Library window, then edit the selected Control Template on the Bank
window.
Perform the editing referring to the “KX Editor Window (page 7)” and “Menu (page 10).” When the ONLINE status is
turned on (when the KX and the KX Editor are connected properly via USB), setting the parameters on the KX Editor affects
the settings of the same parameters on the KX in real time. This gives you a convenient and useful way to edit while actually
controlling the VSTi.
• Editing the current Control Templates on the KX
When you start the KX Editor, the Control Templates on the KX are automatically transferred to the KX Editor. Edit
them from the Bank window.
• Editing an existing bank
From the Library window, select the desired bank as a starting point for your edits, then click [File] → [New Bank] to
create a new bank, and finally click [OK] in the Bank Data Transfer section (page 9). The selected bank is transferred to
the current bank as well as to the KX and the Bank window is automatically called up. Edit the bank from the Bank win-
dow.
• Creating a new Control Template from scratch
On the Library window, select [File] → [New Bank] to create a new bank, then click [OK] in the Bank Data Transfer sec-
tion (page 9). A bank containing default settings are transferred to the current bank as well as to the KX and the Bank
window is automatically called up. Edit the bank from the Bank window. You will also need to enter a Bank name and
Template name.
7 After your editing session is finished, select [File] → [Save Bank] (or [Save Bank As...]) to save the bank
to the Library.
8 Click “X” at the top left corner to quit the KX Editor.
If the edited Bank data has not been saved yet, messages appear prompting you to save it. Enter the bank name and click
[Yes] to quit the KX Editor.

The KX contains 30 built-in, pre-programmed Control Templates. These templates correspond to the latest VSTi plug-in software
(including beta version software) at the time of shipping. However, since many VSTi are constantly updated, the Control Tem-
plates on the KX may not control certain VSTi’s properly. To avoid this problem, you will need to use the latest Control Tem-
plates equipped in the KX Editor instead of those pre-programmed to the KX. You can transfer the Preset Control Template (latest
template at the time of downloading the KX Editor) from the KX Editor to the KX.
1 Select the “Preset” bank in the Library window.
2 Click [OK] in the Bank Data Transfer section (page 9) to transfer the Preset bank to the Current bank, as
well as to the KX.

About
Selecting this menu calls up information on the KX Editor, including the version number.
• Even when I click the triangular button at the right of VSTi Select/Input box in the Bank window, the VSTi plug-ins regis-
tered to the DAW software are not shown as expected.
→ The KX Editor may not properly recognize the VSTi registered in the DAW software. Select [File] → [VSTi Database] → [Full
Scan] to search the VSTi information (page 11).
• The parameters set on the KX Editor are not displayed on the KX.
→ The display on the KX is based on the information sent from Cubase (see the illustration above). Start Cubase and select the corre-
sponding VSTi within Cubase.
• Even when I change the VSTi on the DAW software such as Cubase, the Control Template on the KX does not change
corresponding to the newly selected VSTi.
→ The Control Template on the KX may not correspond properly with the latest version of your VSTi. Transfer the Preset Control
Template (page 6) or one of the templates you have created on the KX Editor to the KX.
→ The VSTi-related information is obtained through the Extension software (see the illustration below). Make sure that the latest
DAW Extension is installed.
→ Make sure that the VSTi name displayed on the DAW software is the same as the one shown in the VSTi Select/Input box (page 7).
Data transfer between the KX Editor, KX and DAW software:
•Turning the CONTROL knobs on the KX affects Remote parameters other than those intended for control.
→ In Cubase, remove the checkmarks of “ALL MIDI Inputs” corresponding to MIDI ports 2 and 3. For details, refer to the KX
Owner’s Manual on page 18.
• Even when I click the triangular button at the right of Control Parameter in the Bank window, the appropriate Control
Parameters are not shown.
→ Make sure that the VSTi is correctly selected in the VSTi Select/Input box (page 7). If you have input the VSTi name directly, make
sure that the spelling is correct and the placement of spaces (if any) is correct. We recommend that you select the VSTi by clicking
the triangular button at the right of VSTi Select/Input box, instead of inputting the VSTi name directly.
• On the DAW software other than Cubase, the set parameters are not controlled.
→ The Remote control functions are available only for Cubase. Set the Remote/CC buttons (page 8) to “CC.”
• Even when I select another track on the DAW software, the VSTi to be controlled does not change; instead, the VSTi
which is assigned to the previously selected track remains under control.
→ On the DAW's Preferences dialog, select [Editing]-[Project & Mixer], then checkmark both “Sync Project and Mixer Selection” and
“Enable Record on Selected Track.”
•How can I control Audio tracks or MIDI tracks?
→ By selecting "MIDI Track” in the VSTi Select/Input box (page 7), you can control the Volume, Pan and Quick Control parameters.
• The VSTi used for MIDI track cannot be controlled.
→ The VSTi used for MIDI track cannot be directly controlled from the KX. By selecting "MIDI Track” in the VSTi Select/Input box
(page 7), you can control the Volume, Pan and Quick Control parameters.
