INTRODUCTION?
Thank you for choosing the Yamaha KX5 Remote Keyboard. The KX5 has been?
developed using the newest and most sophisticated Yamaha digital keyboard?
technology. It connects to electronic keyboard instruments which have the?
MIDI connectors, such as the Yamaha DX series synthesizers, permitting remote?
stand-up performance of the keyboard instruments. The KX5 offers full initial?
and after touch sensitivity, permitting subtle control of timbre or dynamics via?
key touch, The ????5 also offers 2-octave transpose control, direct access to up?
to 64 voices residing in the keyboard's internal voice memory, and easy-to-use?
modulation and volume thumbwheels.?
The KX5 vastly enhances the live-performance capabilities of keyboard instru-?
ments,?
In order to obtain maximum performance from your ????5 Remote Keyboard,?
we urge you to read this owner's manual thoroughly.?

Turn power to the receiving keyboard ON first, then turn ON the KX5!?
itial data describing the state of its controls as soon as its power is switched ON.?
The receiving keyboard must therefore be turned ON before the KX5 in order to receive and process this?
initial data. If the receiving keyboard is turned ON after the KX5, it may not respond properly to?
control signals received from the KX5. For example, it may not be possible to use the portamento effect?
even though portamento is turned ON at the ????5. (In this case, press the portamento switch again, and?
To avoid such problems, always follow the following procedure.?
1. Connect the KX5 to the receiving keyboard using the MIDI cable.?
?
?
?
LOCATION?
Avoid placing your keyboard in direct sunlight or close to?
a source of heat. It is also important to avoid locations in?
which the instrument is likely to be subjected to vibration,?
excessive dust, cold or moisture.?
HANDLING?
Avoid applying excessive force to the instrument's knobs?
and switches.?
CLEANING?
Do not use solvents such as benzine or thinner to clean?
your keyboard as these may cause discoloration or staining?
of the instrument's exterior. Use a soft, dry cloth.?

influenced by electromagnetic radiation from appliances?
such as televisions, radios, etc.?
PANEL OPERATION?
O SUSTAIN?
The sustain effect is applied while this switch is held.?
?¨ PITCH BEND?
This ribbon controller permits smooth pitch bend effects.?
Pressing the ribbon controller at any position creates a?
corresponding variation in pitch, within the range deter-?
mined by the receiving keyboard.?
?¨ MODULATION WHEEL?
Varies the depth of the modulation effect. The actual?
modulation effect varied is determined by the receiving?
keyboard settings.?
?? VOLUME WHEEL?
Adjusts the overall volume of the sound. ("The VOLUME?
wheel will not function with the DX9 synthesizer.)?
?¨ PORTAMENTO?
By rolling this wheel, the length of the portamento effect?
can be adjusted. Rolling the wheel towards ?�?LONG?�??
increases the portamento time.?
@ PORTAMENTO SWITCH?
Turns the portamento effect ON or OFF,?
?¨ MONO/POLY SWITCH?
By putting the switch in the ?�?MONO?�? position, the key-?
board is set in the monophonic mode. Turn it to ?�?POLY?�??
to select the polyphonic mode.?
@ TRANSPOSE SELECTORS?
These selectors permit lowering or raising the pitch of the?
entire keyboard by 1 octave with respect to ?�?normal?�??
pitch.?
O BANK & VOICE SELECTORS?
These buttons permit selection of voices. Selection is?
carried out in 4 BANKs of 8 VOICEs. Also, when pressing?
a BANK or VOICE button while the SUSTAIN is held?
in, the preset voices from 33 to 64, which are not indicated?
???? the keyboard's panel display, can be selected if those?
additional voices are available with the receiving keyboard.?
@ MIDI CHANNEL SWITCH?
This switch is for setting the output channel.?
The selected channel's indicator lights. Please match the?
channel number with the main keyboard being used.?
However, the channel is not changed when the keyboard?
or switches are held ?—??. The diagram (below) shows the?
operation of the KX5?�?s MIDI Channel Switches when two?
keyboards are connected.?

?¤ midi OUT TERMINAL?
Connects to the MIDI IN terminal on your keyboard?
used via the supplied midi cable. Voice and performance?
data are output to the keyboard via this terminal.?
?¤ BREATH CONTROL JACK?
An optional BC1 Breath Controller can be plugged into this?
jack permitting breath control of modulation effects.?
?¤ KEYBOARD?
This is ?° 37-key keyboard covering a range from C2 to C5.?
The keyboard offers full initial and after-touch sensitivity,?
Permitting subtle control of timbre or dynamics via key?
touch.?
NOTE 1: When the DX7 is used for receiving data from?
the KX5, the KX5 after-touch control is some-?
times not operative, even though that for the?
DX7 is operative. In such a case, turn the ????5?
power switch ON while holding the KX5 SUS-?
TAIN switch in.?
NOTE 2: Some of the controls on this model will not work?
with all synthesizers. Even with the Yamaha?
DX series, for example, the volume control will?
function with the DX7, but not with the DX9.?
?
BATTERY REPLACEMENT & STRAP CONNECTION?
= BATTERY REPLACEMENT?
The KX5 has a battery voltage monitor system built in.?
When the battery voltage drops below a usable value, the?
MIDI Channel Indicator begins to flash. When this happens,?
be sure to replace all the batteries at the same time.?
@ Slide the battery cover in the direction of the arrow.?
(2) Remove the battery holder from the snap connector?
and replace the six ?�?AA?�? or RG batteries, carefully?
observing battery polarity?
e Battery life is approximately 7 hours in continuous?
operation.?
e Remove the batteries from the KX5 if it will not be used?
for an extended period of time.?
= STRAP CONNECTION?
MIDI cable?
Place the strap between the sub-?
straps. For strain relief, pass the?
MIDI cable between the substraps?
prior to connecting it to the KX5?
MIDI OUT terminals.?
Strap (optional)?
Make sure that the shoulder strap is firmly attached to the?
KX5 before performence.?
