Matching MIDI Channels
In order for the XV-2020 to respond to MIDI data sent by an external MIDI device,
both devices must be set to use the same MIDI channel or channels.
Here, in Patch mode, let’s set both devices so that they use MIDI Channel 1.

Choosing Patches
You can use either of two methods to choose a patch: choosing by bank (display with
white text) or choosing by category (display in blue text).
Choosing Patches by Bank
Although the XV-2020 contains many Patches, these are organized into eight banks.
You can easily switch banks and select Patches using [CATEGORY/BANK].
