CHAPTER 1: LET'S PLAY THE KX88
IMPORTANT NOTE
This part of the manuaL is a step-by-step introduction to the
KX88. It assumes that the KX88 is still as it was preset at
the factory. (ie. the same standard setting in all memory
banks) If not, please initialize the memory by turning the
power on while holding down the bank A and bank B
switches. Doing this will set all code memories 1 - 1 6 to the
same initial setting on page 6.
If you or someone else has already stored settings in the
KX88, and you don't want to erase everything, select a
Code Memory that you know has the original settings. (See
page 10 for selecting a code memory.)

Check that all connections are correctly made as shown on
page 5, and that the MIDI reception channel of the tone
generator or synthesizer is set to 1 or 2. If you have two or
more tone generators, set one to receive MIDI channel 1 ,
and the other to receive MIDI channel 2. Turn the KX88
power switch ON. Now try playing a note on the KX88.
The tone generator should make sound. (If there is no
sound, recheck the connections and make sure that the
volume of the mixer or amp is up. Whatever note you play,
both tone generators should sound. (Dual Key Assign sends
each note on both MIDI banks.)
