Using the XV-2020
Effects
4: PHASER
Adds a phase-shifted sound to the original sound, producing a
swirling modulation that creates spaciousness and depth.
fig.02-004m
5: SPECTRUM
This is a type of filter that modifies the timbre by boosting or cutting
the level of specific frequencies. It is similar to an equalizer, but has
eight frequency points fixed at locations most useful for adding
character to the sound.
fig.02-005m
6: ENHANCER
Controls the overtone structure of the high frequencies, adding
sparkle and brightness to the sound.
fig.02-006m
7: AUTO WAH
A filter that turns on and off to create a cyclical change in timbre.
fig.02-007m
8: ROTARY
The Rotary effect simulates the sound of the rotary speakers often
used with the classic electric organs. Since the movement of the high-
range and low-range rotors can be set independently, the unique
characteristics of these speakers can be simulated quite accurately.
This effect is most suitable for electric organ Patches.

Parameter Value Description
Filter Type LPF, BPF Type of filter
LPF: The wah effect is applied over a
wide frequency range.
BPF: The wah effect is applied over a
narrow frequency range
Sens 0-127 Adjusts the sensitivity with which
the filter is controlled.
Manual # 0-127 Adjusts the center frequency at
which the effect is applied.
Peak 0-127 Adjusts the amount of the wah effect
that occurs in the range of the center
frequency.
Set a higher value for Q to narrow the
range to be affected.
Rate # 0.05-10.00 Hz Frequency of modulation
Depth 0-127 Depth of modulation
Level 0-127 Output level
Parameter Value Description
Speed # SLOW, FAST Simultaneously switches the ro-
tational speed of the low fre-
quency rotor and high frequency
rotor.
SLOW: Slows down the speed to
the Slow Rate.
FAST: Speeds up the speed to the
Fast Rate.
Low Slow 0.05-10.00 Hz Slow speed (SLOW) of the low-
frequency rotor
Low Fast 0.05-10.00 Hz Fast speed (FAST) of the low-fre-
quency rotor
Low Accel 0-15 Adjusts the time it takes the low
frequency rotor to reach the new-
ly selected speed when switch-
ing between fast and slow
speeds. Lower values result in
longer transitions.
Low Level 0-127 Volume of the low frequency ro-
tor
High Slow 0.05-10.00 Hz Settings for the high-frequency
rotor
The parameters are the same as for
the low-frequency rotor
High Fast 0.05-10.00 Hz
High Accel 0-15
High Level 0-127
Separation 0-127 Stereo width of the sound
Level # 0-127 Output level
