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.
fig.01-03
1. Set the send channel of the MIDI keyboard to “1.”
Refer to the keyboard’s owner’s manual for instructions.
2. Press [VALUE] to make the PATCH indicator lights up.
fig.01-01
* Immediately after Factory Reset is executed, the Receive channel is set to the channel selected
with the [PART] knob.
3. Turn [PART] to choose “1.”
Here, 1 becomes the XV-2020’s receive channel.
4. Play the MIDI keyboard to hear the currently selected XV-2020 Patch.
MIDI message indicator will lights when a MIDI message is received via MIDI
connector or USB connector.

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].
