Chap.10

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)

fig.10-014.e_70
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.
1. Press [SYSTEM/UTILITY] to make its indicator blink.
