Chapter 12. Realizing the Potential of the XV-88

Changing the Multi-Effects

Settings From an External MIDI

Device in Realtime

The Multi-effects settings can be controlled using specified MIDI messages from an external MIDI device in realtime (Multi-effects Controller; p. 115).

The parameters that can be changed are predetermined for each type of Multi-effects; among the parameters described in “Multi-Effects Types” (p. 117), these are indicated by a #.

For instructions on how to connect up, and set the MIDI receive channel in Patch/Rhythm Set mode, refer to

“Playing the XV-88’s Sound Generator from an

External MIDI Device” (p. 205).

1.Select the Patch, Rhythm Set or Performance you wish to use.

2.When a Performance is selected, and the Source parameter (PERFORM/EFFECTS/MFX TYPE) (p. 114) is set to PERFORM, the MIDI receive channel is set with the MFX Control Channel parameter (PERFORM/ COMMON/PERFORM MFX CH) (p. 51).

3.Call up the MFX CTRL page (PATCH, RHYTHM, PERFORM/EFFECTS), then set the following parameters (p. 115).

Source: Specifies the MIDI message which is used for control.

Destination: Sets which parameter is controlled.

Sens: Specifies how deeply the parameter is to be controlled.

4.When the MIDI message set by the Source parameter is sent from the external MIDI device to the XV-88, the Multi-Effects parameter set with the Destination parameter changes at the level set in the Sns parameter.

Selecting XV-88 Sounds from an External MIDI Device

By transmitting Bank Select messages (controller number 0 and 32) and Program Change messages from the external MIDI device to the XV-88, you can select Performances, Patches, or Rhythm Sets. In other words, when you select sounds on an external MIDI device, the corresponding MIDI message will be transmitted to the XV-88, causing the XV-88 to select the appropriate Patch, etc.

For instructions on how to connect up, and set the MIDI receive channel in Patch/Rhythm Set mode, refer to

“Playing the XV-88’s Sound Generator from an

External MIDI Device” (p. 205).

If the Program Change numbers on your external MIDI device are referenced as values from 0 to 127, find the appropriate number by subtracting 1 from the number in the following correspondence chart.

On the XV-88, when just a Program Change message is received without receiving a Bank Select message, only sounds within a group (such as USER or PR-A) are changed.

Selecting Performances

The MIDI messages transmitted by the external MIDI device will be received by the XV-88 to select Performances as shown in the following table.

In order to select a Performance, the MIDI channel of the transmitting device must match the XV-88’s Control Channel parameter (SYSTEM/MIDI/PERFORM MIDI) (p. 169). In order to select the Patch or Rhythm Set of a Part, the transmit channel must match the receive channel of the Part. However if the Control Channel parameter and the receive channel of a Part have the same setting, the Control Channel parameter setting will take priority so that messages received on this channel will select Performances.
