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.
