Chapter 7. Adding Effects

Source (Multi-Effects Control Source)

Sets the MIDI message used to change the Multi-effects parameter with the Multi-effects Controller. Set this to OFF when the Multi-effects Controller is not being used.

The following are MIDI messages that can be used as Multi- effects Controllers.

•Controller numbers 01–31, 33–95 (CC01–CC31, CC33– CC95)

For more detailed information about Control Change messages, please refer to “MIDI Implementation” (p.

•Pitch Bend (PITCH BEND)

•Aftertouch (AFTERTOUCH)

•System Controller 1–4 (SYS-CTRL1–SYS-CTRL4): MIDI messages used as global Multi-effects Controllers

Select SYS-CTRL1–4 if you want to use the controllers globally for the entire XV-88. MIDI messages used as System Controllers 1–4 are set with the Control 1–4 parameters (SYSTEM/CONTROL/SYS CTRL ASSIGN 1,

2)(p. 173).

•In Patch/Rhythm Set mode, there are parameters that determine, for each Tone/Rhythm Tone, whether or not Pitch Bend, Controller Number 11 (Expression) and Controller Number 64 (Hold 1) are received (p. 77, p. 97). When these settings are ON, and the MIDI messages are received, then when any change is made in the settings of the desired parameter, the Pitch Bend, Expression, and Hold1 settings also change simultaneously. If you want to change the targeted parameters only, then set these to OFF.

•There are parameters that determine whether or not specific MIDI messages are received for each MIDI channel (p. 52). When using the Multi-effectsController, confirm that any MIDI messages used for the Multi- effects Controller will be received. If the XV-88 is set up such that reception of MIDI messages is disabled, then the Multi-effects Controller will not function.

Destination (Multi-Effects Control Destination)

Sets the Multi-effects parameters to be controlled with the Multi-effects Controller. The Multi-effects parameters available for control will depend on the Multi-effects type. For details, refer to “Multi-Effects Types” (p. 117).

Sens (Multi-Effects Control Sensitivity)

Sets the amount of the Multi-effects Controller’s effect that is applied. To make an increase in the currently selected value (to get higher values, move to the right, increase rates, and so on), select a positive value; to make a decrease in the currently selected value (to get lower values, move to the left, decrease rates, and so on), select a negative value. When both positive and negative are selected, the changes are greater as the value increases. To have no effect applied, select 0.
