Description

 

 

 

VELOCITY CONTROL

OFF, ON, RANDOM

Determines whether Velocity messages from a MIDI keyboard or sequenc-

(TMT Velocity Control)

 

er are recognized (ON), or ignored (OFF). When set to RND, the Patch’s

 

 

constituent Tones sound randomly, regardless of any Velocity messages.

 

 

 

TMT CONTROL SW

OFF, ON

This setting determines whether or not the TMT is controlled by the Ma-

(TMT Control Switch)

 

trix Control. When TMT Velocity Control is set to OFF, turning this pa-

 

 

rameter on and off is a simple way to switch between playing all Tones or

 

 

controlling them with the Matrix Control, making this an effective tool for

 

 

auditioning Tones.

 

 

[What is a TMT?]

 

 

 

 

 

With the XV-2020, you can set each Tone’s expression range, or “key

 

 

range.” You can also change the way the Tone responds to the force, or

 

 

“velocity,” with which a key is pressed. These settings are collectively re-

 

 

ferred to as the TMT.

 

 

 

 

 

 

FADE LOWER#

0–127

Determines what happens to the Tone’s level when the Tone is played at

(TMT Velocity Fade Width Lower)

 

a velocity lower than its specified velocity range. Higher settings result in

 

 

a more gradual change in volume. If you don’t want notes played below

 

 

the specified velocity range to be heard at all, set this to 0.

 

 

 

 

 

 

LOWER#

1–UPPER

Sets the lowest velocity at which the Tone sounds.

(TMT Velocity Range Lower)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

UPPER#

LOWER–127

Sets the highest velocity at which the Tone sounds.

(TMT Velocity Range Upper)

 

* It is not possible to set the Lower value higher than the Upper value, or the Up-

 

 

 

per value below the Lower value.

FADE UPPER#

0–127

Determines what happens to the Tone’s level when the Tone is played at

(TMT Velocity Fade Width Upper)

 

a velocity greater than its specified velocity range. Higher settings result

 

 

in a more gradual change in volume. If you don’t want notes played above

 

 

the specified velocity range to be heard at all, set this to 0.
