As originally set up, the transpose point will be C3 for both
banks, meaning that pressing C3 on the keyboard will send
a C3 key on signal to both channels. (i.e. normal position)

If you want to change the transpose point, press bank

switch A or B to choose which bank you are transposing.
The selected bank readout will start blinking.

Then, press a key. The new transpose point you have
selected will be displayed.

(A decimal point indicates a sharp. #)

The limit is +2 octaves from C3. If you press a key above
C5, C5 will be selected, and if you press a key below C2,
C2 will be selected.

This function may be selected while in PLAY mode by
assigning a controller to controller code 05.
However, you must continue pressing the controller in
order to select which bank to transpose.

This lets you switch between 2 BANK and 8 BANK mode.

Each time you press the BANK 2/8 switch, the upper read-

out will display BN (bank number) and the lower readout
will alternate between 2 and 8.

To leave this function, press any other switch.
The Yamaha DX and TX voice program memories are 1-32.

However, some MIDI synthesizers may have up to 128

voice program memories. To select voice programs 1-128,
set it in 8 BANK mode. For the details of selecting voice

programs in 8 BANK mode, see page 26.

The KX88 has 16 CODE MEMORIES. Everything you
assign or set in CA mode can be stored in one of these
memories. When you press SAVE, the upper readout will
display SA.

Use the bank B select switches 1-16 to choose which code
memory you are going to store the current settings in.

The selected number will blink in the lower display, allow-

ing you to double check. If that is the code memory

that you want to use, press that same number again, and all
the current settings will be saved in that code memory.

Naturally, the previous setting will be erased.
