Chapter 10 Examples of Applications Using the XV-5080

Initializing GM Settings (Init)

As GM Initialize initializes only GM mode settings, data stored in user memory will not be initialized. If you want to restore the factory values of all settings, carry out Factory Reset (p. 206).

With the XV-5080, you can operate two separate, 16-part GM sound generators, one for each of the two MIDI IN jacks, each of which can be can be initialized separately.

Initializing the GM Sound Generator Used in GM Mode (F1 (GM)]

Mode

GM:Instates the GM System basic settings.

GM2: Instates the GM2 System basic settings.

Initializing the GM Sound Generator Used Only for MIDI IN 2 (F2 (MIDI In2)]

Mode

GM:Instates the GM System basic settings.

GM2: Instates the GM2 System basic settings.

GM OFF: The MIDI IN 2-specific GM sound generator is turned off. When “GM OFF” is selected, the data for both MIDI IN 1 and 2 is received by the GM sound generator using GM mode.

After the parameters have been set, pressing [F6 (Init)] executes the initialization.

Transmitting GM Mode Settings (XFER)

GM mode settings cannot be stored in user memory. If you wish to keep your GM mode settings, you can transmit them as MIDI messages to an external MIDI device, where they can be saved.

Once the external MIDI device is ready to record data, you can press [ENTER].

For details of the settings that are transmitted, refer to “MIDI Implementation” (p. 282).

If you do not want the settings of a specific Part to be transmitted, turn off the Receive Switch for that Part (p. 227).

Protecting the Internal Memory (PROTECT)

This feature helps prevent the accidental overwriting of USER memory to ensure that Patch, Performance or Rhythm Set data is not accidentally erased.

Internal (Internal Write Protect)

The Internal Write Protect setting prevents the Write operation from accidentally overwriting USER memory locations. When this is set ON, the data cannot be written. Data can be only written when Internal Write Protect is off. When the XV-5080’s power is turned on, this setting is automatically turned on, – you will need to turn it off before writing data to the USER memory. It is also possible to turn this setting off during the Write procedure.

Exclusive (Exclusive Protect)

The Exclusive Protect setting prevents System Exclusive messages received from an external MIDI device from rewriting USER memory settings. When this feature is on, the data cannot be rewritten by System Exclusive messages. When it is off, data can be rewritten, even if the Internal Write Protect setting is set to ON.
