GETTING STARTED
Setting Up Your CS1x
The CS1x With An External
Sequencer
The illustration below shows how to use the CS1x with a Yamaha QY
series sequencer, which lets you take full advantage of the CS1x's
multitimbral capability to play up to 16 different musical instrument Parts
at once.
You will need MIDI cables to make the proper connections.
1.
Connect a MIDI cable from the CS1x's MIDI OUT terminal to the
sequencer's MIDI In terminal, and connect another MIDI cable from
the CS1x's MIDI IN terminal to the sequencer's MIDI Out terminal.
2.
Set the HOST SELECT switch to MIDI.

In this case, the notes you play on the keyboard will be sent as MIDI note
event data to a specified MIDI channel of the sequencer. By selecting
different channels, you can record each Part independently, while listening
to those Parts you've already recorded.
When recording Parts to an external sequencer, you need to turn the
keyboard Local setting to OFF (see page 42). When keyboard Local is
turned off, the notes you play on the keyboard will not sound the CS1x's
internal tone generator, but note and other performance event data will
still be sent from the MIDI OUT terminal.
Since the CS1x's internal tone generator will respond to note and other
data it receives at the MIDI IN terminal, the notes you play on the keyboard
will be sent to the sequencer, then "echoed back" to the CS1x to play one
of the 16 Parts (depending on the current MIDI channel assignment).
For details about assigning CS1x MIDI channels, see page 41. For details
about assigning MIDI channels and other settings for the external devices
such as a sequencer, consult the owner's manual of each.
The Control Synthesizer CS1x literally comes ready to play right out of
the box.
Connect the supplied PA-3B DC power adaptor to the CS1x's DC IN
connector on the rear panel. Then connect the adaptor to the nearest
electrical outlet.
Before switching on the power, connect any peripheral devices such as
amplified speakers or MIDI instruments.
There are many ways to incorporate the CS1x into a simple or expanded
music system. Below are a few examples to get you started.
CAUTION
• Do not attempt to use an AC adaptor other than the PA-3B. Use of an
incompatible adaptor may result in irreparable damage to the CS1x, and
could even pose a serious shock hazard.
• Be sure to disconnect the power adaptor from the electrical outlet when
the CS1x is not in use.
The CS1x By Itself
At the simplest level, all you need to do is connect stereo headphones to
the PHONES jack located on the rear panel.
As a stand-alone performance instrument, simply connect the CS1x to
amplified speakers, as follows:
For stereo use, connect one end of a pair of audio cables to the CS1x's
OUTPUT (L/MONO, R) jacks, and the other end to each amplified
speaker's input, as shown in the illustration below. (For mono use, connect
one end of a single audio cable to the CS1x's L/MONO jack, and the
other end to the amplified speaker's input.)

CAUTION
In order to avoid possible damage to the speakers or other connected
electronic equipment, before switching on the power of any component,
make sure the CS1x's volume level and the volume levels of the connected
equipment are set to minimum.
