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.
