Applications for Patches, Matrix Control

Examples of Applications Using the XV-2020

Matrix Control

Select the controllers you want to use to control a specific Tone

parameter. Four control sources are assigned to each Patch.

SOURCE 1–4 (MATRIX CONTROL1–4 SOURCE)

Assign one of the following controllers to Control Source 1–4. If you wish to use a controller that applies to all Patches, or a controller that cannot be directly specified here, choose SYS-CTRL1–4, and then choose the controller using the Control Source 1–4 parameters

(SYSTEM CONTROL SOURCE).

OFF (No controller is used.)

CC01–95 (Controller numbers 1–95 (except for 32))

MATRIX CONTROL1–4

This select the parameters to be controlled in the Matrix Control 1-4 Source and the Sens settings, as well as the Tone to which they’re applied. Up to four parameters can be specified for each controller and controlled simultaneously.

DESTINATION1–4

(MATRIX CONTROL1–4 DESTINATION1–4)

This chooses the parameters to be controlled.

OFF (No control)	---
PITCH	p. 54
CUTOFF (Cutoff Frequency)	p. 57
RESONANCE	p. 57
LEVEL	p. 100
PAN	p. 100
DRY LEVEL	p. 78
CHORUS SEND (Chorus Send Level)	p. 78
REVERB SEND (Reverb Send Level)	p. 78
LFO1(2) PITCH DEPTH	p. 57
LFO1(2) TVF DEPTH	p. 57
LFO1(2) TVA DEPTH	p. 57
LFO1(2) PAN DEPTH	p. 57
LFO1(2) RATE	p. 56
PCH ENV A-TIME (Pitch Envelope Attack Time)	p. 54
PCH ENV D-TIME (Pitch Envelope Decay Time)	p. 54
PCH ENV R-TIME (Pitch Envelope Release Time)
TVF ENV A-TIME (TVF Envelope Attack Time)	p. 58
TVF ENV D-TIME (TVF Envelope Decay Time)	p. 58
TVF ENV R-TIME (TVF Envelope Release Time)
TVA ENV A-TIME (TVA Envelope Attack Time)	p. 60
TVA ENV D-TIME (TVA Envelope Decay Time)	p. 60
TVA ENV R-TIME (TVA Envelope Release Time)
TMT	p. 49
FXM DEPTH (Wave FXM Depth)	p. 54
MFX CTRL 1–4 (MFX CONTROL 1–4)	p. 80

SENS1–4 (MATRIX CONTROL SENS 1–4)

This adjusts the amount of change that occurs in response to controller movements. Negative (-) values invert the change. For example, with LFO Depth, the phase is reversed when a negative Sens value is chosen. With LFO Rate, setting Sens to a negative value increases the cycle length, slowing down the LFO, while setting it to positive value shortens the cycle, speeding it up

TONE1–4 (MATRIX CONTROL1–4, TONE CONTROL SWITCH1–4)

This selects the Tone to be controlled using the two previous parameter settings. “ON” activates the control of a Tone, “OFF” de- activates it, and “REV” reverses the (+) or (-) nature of the change being applied.

Applications for Patches

Syncing the LFO Cycle to the System Tempo

1.Click [PATCH].

2.Click the for [PATCH NAME] to select the Patch to be synchronized.

3.Click [DETAIL] for PATCH COMMON, then set [CLOCK SOURCE] to [SYSTEM].

4.Click [DETAIL] for LFO 1, click [RATE], then set each tone’s Rate to the note length corresponding to the synchronization tempo.

*TONE 1 – TONE 4 are switched with TONE SELECT, at the upper right of the screen.
