Chapter 12. Realizing the Potential of the XV-88

Changing the Speed of the Rotary Effect to Synchronize It to the LFO Cycle

Instead of using an effects controller, you can use the Matrix Controller (p. 78) to change Multi-effect parameters. Here, try changing the speed of the rotary effect to synchronize it to the LFO cycle.

1.Select the Patch PR-A: 054 Rocker Spin on the PATCH PLAY page.

This Patch uses ROTARY as the Multi-effects type.

2.Call up the PATCH MFX CTRL page (PATCH/ EFFECTS), then set the parameters as follows (p. 115).

•Source: OFF

•Destination: SPEED

•Sens: 0

3.Set the Control 1 parameter (PATCH/CONTROL/ MATRIX CTRL SRC) to 105:LFO1 (p. 78).

4.Call up the MATRIX CONTROL1 page (PATCH/ CONTROL), then set the parameters as follows (p. 79).

•Dest: MFX CTRL1

•Sns: +63

•Tone: ooo_ (applied to Tone 1–3)

5.Play the keyboard.

The speed of the rotary effect is synchronized to the LFO cycle.

Changing the Tone Produced with the Modulation Lever

While using the Matrix Controller check out how you can get sounds of two different Tones by moving the Modulation lever to the left and right.

1.Select a Patch on the PATCH PLAY page.

2.On the WAVE page (PATCH/WAVE), select the waveforms for the two Tones (Tone 1 and Tone 2) you want to have played (p. 81).

3.Set the TMT Velocity Control parameter (PATCH/ COMMON/TMT VELO CONTROL) to OFF (p. 72).

4.Call up the TMT VEL RANG page (PATCH/ COMMON), then set the parameters for Tone 1 and Tone 2 as follows (p. 72).

		Tone 1	Tone 2
•	Lower:	1	64
•	Upper:	63	127

When you want to switch between Tones more smoothly, set the L.Fade or U.Fade parameters. The higher the values set, the smoother the switch is between the Tones.

5.Set the TMT Ctrl Sw parameter (PATCH/CONTROL/ CONTROL&BENDER) to ON (p. 78).

6.Set the Control 1 parameter (PATCH/CONTROL/ MATRIX CTRL SRC) to CC01:MODULATION (p. 78).

7.Call up the MATRIX CONTROL1 page (PATCH/ CONTROL), then set the parameters as follows (p. 79).

•Dest: TMT

•Sns: +63

•Tone: oo_ _ (applied to Tone 1 and 2)

8.While playing the keyboard, move the Modulation lever. By moving the Modulation lever to the other side, you can switch from Tone 1 to Tone 2.

Syncing the LFO Cycle to System Tempo

You can synchronize the LFO cycle to a specified tempo or an external MIDI device. In the following example, we will synchronize the LFO cycle to the system tempo.

1.Select the Patch PR-B: 052 Blade Racer on the PATCH PLAY page.

2.Set the Clock Source parameter (PATCH/COMMON/ PATCH TEMPO) to SYSTEM (p. 71).

3.Set the Rate parameter (PATCH/LFO/LFO 1, 2 WAVE) of each Tone to the beat length for the tempo you are synchronizing (p. 83).

4.At the LFO DEPTH1:2 page (PATCH/LFO), set the modulation depth for each Tone (p. 85).

5.Set the Clock Source parameter (SYSTEM/SETUP/ SYSTEM SETUP) to INT (p. 168).

When the Clock Source parameter is set to MIDI, you can achieve synchronization with the tempo of an external MIDI device.

6.Try playing the keyboard while you change the System Tempo parameter (SYSTEM/SETUP/SYSTEM SETUP) to various values (p. 169).

You’ll notice that the tempo of the Patch’s modulation changes in accordance to the tempo clock of the XV-88’s system.
