Kenwood XV-2020 owner manual FXM Frequency Cross Modulation

Creating a Patch

Parameter	Value	Description
FXM ON	OFF, ON	Sets whether FXM will be used (ON) or not (OFF).
(Wave FXM Switch)
		[FXM (Frequency Cross Modulation)]
		FXM uses a specified waveform to apply frequency modula-
		tion to the currently selected waveform, creating complex
		overtones. This can be useful when creating wilder sounds or
		sound effects.
TEMPO SYNC	OFF, ON	Determines whether the waveform is synchronized (ON) or
(Wave Tempo Sync)		not synchronized (OFF) to the Patch’s tempo.
FXM COLOR	1–4	Specifies how FXM will perform its frequency modulation.
(Wave FXM Color)		Higher settings result in a grainier sound, while lower settings
		result in a more metallic sound.
FXM DEPTH	0–16	Specifies the depth of the modulation produced by FXM.
(Wave FXM Depth)
COARSE TUNE	-48–+48	Adjusts the pitch of the Tone in semitone steps over a range of
(Tone Coarse Tune)		+/-4 octaves.
FINE TUNE	-50–+50	Adjusts the pitch of the Tone in 1-cent steps (1/100th of a semi-
(Tone Fine Tune)		tone) over a range of half a semitone up or down.
RANDOM PITCH	0–1200	Specifies the width of random pitch deviation that occurs each
(Tone Random Pitch Depth)		time a key is pressed. If you don’t want a random pitch
		change, set this parameter to 0. The setting is adjustable in
		units of 1 cent (1/100th of a semitone).
PITCH KF	-200–+200	Sets the amount of pitch change that occurs per octave on the
(Wave Pitch Key follow)		keyboard. If you want the pitch to change by one octave for
		each 12 keys on the keyboard—as on traditional keyboard in-
		struments—set this parameter to +100. For a two-octave pitch
		change over the span of 12 keys, set this parameter to +200.
		Negative (-) values cause the Tone’s pitch to go down as you
		go up the keyboard. If you want the same pitch to sound re-
		gardless of what key is pressed, set this parameter to 0.

ENV DEPTH	-12–+12	Determines the amount of pitch enveloping to be used—high-

		tings invert the direction of the changes made by the Pitch.
