Effects Settings Effects, Rx Midi Receive Midi

set, an open hi-hat and a closed hi-hat sound will never occur simultaneously, since they’re produced by the same instrument – the hi-hat is either open or closed, but not both at the same time. To simulate this behavior on the XV-3080, you can set the open and closed hi-hat Rhythm Tones to the same Mute Group, thus preventing them from being heard at the same time. If, for example, the open hi-hat Rhythm Tone is playing and the closed hi-hat’s key is struck, the closed hi- hat Rhythm Tone will turn off the open hi-hat before sounding.

You can have up to 31 Mute Groups per Rhythm Set. If you do not want a Rhythm Tone to use a Mute Group, turn the feature off.

Assign Type MULTI/SINGLE

This setting determines whether a Rhythm Tone note that is playing is stopped when the same note is played again (SINGLE), or whether it will continue to play, layered with the new note.

Rx MIDI (Receive MIDI)

These parameters determine how each Rhythm Tone in a Rhythm Set will respond to received Expression/Pan/Hold 1 MIDI messages.

Expression (Tone receive expression) OFF/ON

If you want the Rhythm Tone to respond to Expression messages, turn this parameter on. If not, turn it off.

Pan (Tone receive pan mode)

CONT:Pan messages will be responded to immediately, instantly changing the stereo position of the Rhythm Tone. KEY-ON:The stereo location of the Rhythm Tone will be changed only when the next note is played. If a Pan message is received while a note is sounding, its stereo location will not change.

Hold-1 (Tone receive hold 1) OFF/ON

If you want the Tone to respond to Hold 1 messages, turn this parameter on. If not, turn it off.
