Chapter 10 Examples of Applications Using the XV-5080

Controlling the XV-5080 in

Real Time Using an External

MIDI Device

External MIDI controllers (modulation lever, foot switch, expression pedal, etc.) can be used to modify Multi-effects settings or Tone settings in real time.

Changing the Multi-Effects

Settings From an External MIDI

Device

The parameters that can be changed via MIDI are predetermined according to the selected Multi-effects. This applies to the Multi-effects parameters described on p. 44 to p. 105 that have an appended “#” mark.

Settings can be made for each Patch, Performance, and Rhythm Set.

1.Select the Multi-effects you wish to use.

Make the settings in the Effects General page. For the setting procedure, refer to Chapter 2 (p. 25).

2.From the various Play pages, press buttons in the following order to access the Effects MFX #2 page.

For Patches or Rhythm Sets

[F6 (Effects)] - [F3 (MFX Ctl)]

fig.10-001.e_70

For Performances or GM System

[F5 (Effects)] - [F3 (MFX Ctl)]

fig.10-002.e_70

Three different Multi-effects can be set for a Performance. Press [F3 (MFX Ctl)] to switch among the MFX-A, MFX-B, and MFX-C pages.

The MIDI channel used for controlling the three multi-effects is determined according to the MFX Source setting (p. 31). Setting MFX Source to "PERF" selects the Performance MFX Ctrl Channel, and when set to "Part 1-32," the Receive Channel settings for each part are used.

3.Press [ ]/[ ]/[ ]/[ ] to move the cursor to the parameter you want to set.

*Hold down [SHIFT] and press [ ] to move to the parameter furthest to the left.

4.Either by rotating the VALUE dial or by pressing [INC]/ [DEC], set the value.

*If you’ve made a mistake, simply press [UNDO]. The value of the parameter will be restored to what it was when you first positioned the cursor there.

5.Press [EXIT] to return to the PLAY page.

*A “*” symbol will appear at the left of the group name, indicating that the settings have been modified. If you wish to keep the settings, you need to store them. (p. 194)

*When the Performance SOURCE is set to a value of PART 1– 32, the Part name will appear in the upper right of the display. This indicates that the parameters below are the parameters for the Patch assigned to the Part.

MFX Control Sens -63– +63

If you wish to modify the selected parameter in a positive (+) direction—i.e., a higher value, toward the right, or faster etc.—from its current setting, select a positive (+) value. If you wish to modify the selected parameter in a negative (-) direction—i.e., a lower value, toward the left, or slower etc.— from its current setting, select a negative (-) value. Higher numbers produce a greater amount of change.
