CTRL Rx MIDI (Control Receive MIDI)

Here you can specify for each Tone how MIDI messages such

as pitch bend, expression and pan will be received.

Chapter 5. Creating Patches

• Generally, pitch bend messages control the pitch of the
currently sounding note, expression messages control
the volume. In addition to this, the XV-88 allows these
MIDI messages to be used to control Tone settings or
Multi-effects settings as well (p. 78, p. 115). If you are
using this capability, turn reception of these MIDI
messages OFF. If the receive switch is ON for these
messages, they will control their usual function (in
addition to their special function).
• When assigning (and playing) a Patch to a Part in a
Performance, check the MIDI message settings for each
MIDI channel (p. 52). If the MIDI channels for that part
are set not to receive MIDI messages, then the MIDI	5
messages will not be received.	Chapter

Bender (Receive Pitch Bend Switch)

Specifies whether Pitch Bend messages will be received (ON) or not (OFF).

Expression (Receive Expression Switch) Specifies whether Expression messages will be received (ON) or not (OFF).

Pan Mode (Receive Pan Mode) Specifies how Pan messages will be received. CONTINUOUS: Whenever Pan messages are received, the stereo position of the Tone will be changed.

KEY-ON: The pan of the Tone will be changed only when the next note is played. If a pan message is received while a note is sounding, the panning will not change until the next key is pressed.

The channels cannot be set so as not to receive Pan messages.

Hold-1 (Receive Hold 1 Switch)

Specifies whether Hold 1 messages will be received (ON) or not (OFF).

If NO SUSTAIN is selected for Envelope Mode parameter (PATCH/CONTROL/CTRL Rx MIDI), this setting will have no effect.
