Chapter 11. Using the XV-88 as a GM Sound Module (GM Mode)
Making Effects Settings in GM
Mode (EFFECTS)
In GM mode, a GM-exclusive Chorus and Reverb can be
used. Chorus and Reverb can be set independently.
Chorus: Adds depth and spaciousness to the sound.
Reverb: Adds the reverberation characteristics of halls or
auditoriums.
In GM mode, you cannot use Multi-effects.
The XV-88s onboard effects can be turned on/off as a
whole. For details, refer to Turning Effects On/Off (p.
105).
Basic Process of Making Effects Settings
When applying effects in GM mode, the following procedure
is used to make the settings.
1. Setting the Output Method of the Direct
Sound (Output Assign)
The settings made here determine for each Part whether or
not the jack used to output the sound, and the type of output
(stereo or mono). (p. 194)
2. Setting the Amount of Each Effect Applied
(Send Level)
Sets the level (volume) of each effect signal to be sent for each
Part. (p. 194)
3. Making Chorus Settings
Select the Chorus type to be used, and set each of the
parameters for the selected Chorus. (p. 195)
4. Setting the Output Destination for the
Sounds Passing Through the Chorus
Select the output jack from which the sounds passing
through the Chorus will be output. You can also apply
Reverb to the sound that passes through Chorus. (p. 195)
5. Making Reverb Settings
Select the Reverb type to be used, and set each of the
parameters for the selected Reverb. (p. 195)
6. Setting the Output Destination for the
Sounds Passing Through the Reverb
Select the output jack from which the sounds passing
through the Reverb will be output. (p. 195)
OUTPUT
fig.11-03
Output Assign (Output Assign/Output Level)
Sets the direct sounds output method and volume for each
Part.
OUTPUT A: Output to the OUTPUT A (MIX) jacks in stereo.
OUTPUT B: Output to the OUTPUT B jacks in stereo.
The value on the right sets the Part volume.
If the Mix/Parallel parameter (SYSTEM/SETUP/
SYSTEM SETUP) is set to MIX, all sounds are output
from the OUTPUT A (MIX) jacks in stereo (p. 169).
Chorus and Reverb are output in mono at all times.
The output destination of the signal after passing
through the Chorus is set with the Out parameter (GM/
EFFECTS/GM CHORUS) (p. 195).
The output destination of the signal after passing
through the Reverb is set with the Out parameter (GM/
EFFECTS/GM REVERB) (p. 195).
Chorus (Chorus Send Level)
Adjusts the amount of Chorus for each Part. If you dont
want to add the Chorus effect, set it to 0.
Reverb (Reverb Send Level)
Adjusts the amount of Reverb for each Part. If you dont
want to add the Reverb effect, set it to 0.
