Chapter 7. Adding Effects

Selecting the Way the Direct Sound is Output

Here, set the way the direct sound is output for each Patch or Rhythm Set. The settings made here determine whether or not the signal passes through the Multi-effects, the jack used to output the sound, and the type of output (stereo or mono).

You can select the way the direct sound is output for each Tone or Rhythm Tone individually (p. 109).

About the Output Jacks

The XV-88 is equipped with four OUTPUT jacks. Patch and Rhythm Set sounds are output from any of these jacks. Each jack can of course output sounds monaurally, and by using two jacks as a pair, you can output sounds in stereo (left/right).

Additionally, you can change the jacks used to output the sounds for each of the Tones and Rhythm Tones individually. For example, when playing a Rhythm Set, you can output the snare drum in stereo from the OUTPUT A (MIX) jacks, the bass drum in mono from the INDIVIDUAL 3 jack, and the hi-hat in mono from the INDIVIDUAL 4 jack. With this arrangement, you can process each of the Rhythm Tones with a different effect.

Output Assign

Specifies for each Patch/Rhythm Set how the direct sound will be output.

MFX: Output in stereo through Multi-effects. You can also apply Chorus or Reverb to the sound that passes through Multi-effects.

OUTPUT A: Output to the OUTPUT A (MIX) jacks in stereo without passing through Multi-effects.

OUTPUT B: Output to the OUTPUT B jacks in stereo without passing through Multi-effects.

INDIV 1: Output to the INDIVIDUAL 1 jack in mono without passing through Multi-effects.

INDIV 2: Output to the INDIVIDUAL 2 jack in mono without passing through Multi-effects.

INDIV 3: Output to the INDIVIDUAL 3 jack in mono without passing through Multi-effects.

INDIV 4: Output to the INDIVIDUAL 4 jack in mono without passing through Multi-effects.

TONE: Output according to the settings for each Tone/ Rhythm Tone.

When outputting in mono, the Pan setting is disabled.

When the settings are such that signals are split and output from the INDIVIDUAL 1 jack and INDIVIDUAL 2 jack, and no plug is inserted in the INDIVIDUAL 2 jack, the sounds from INDIVIDUAL 1 and INDIVIDUAL 2 are mixed together, then output from the INDIVIDUAL 1 jack. This sound comprises the sounds from the INDIVIDUAL 1 and 2 jacks.

If the Mix/Parallel parameter (SYSTEM/SETUP/ SYSTEM SETUP) is set to MIX, all sounds are output from the OUTPUT A (MIX) jacks in stereo (p. 169).

When setting the MFX, set the output destination with the Output parameter (PATCH/EFFECTS/PATCH MFX OUT)/(RHYTHM/EFFECTS/RHYTHM MFX OUT) for the sound after it has passed through the Multi-effects (p. 116).

When set to TONE, the Output Assign parameter (PATCH/EFFECTS/OUTPUT)/(RHYTHM/EFFECTS/ OUTPUT) is set for each Tone or Rhythm Tone (p. 109).

Chorus and Reverb are output in mono at all times.
