Chapter 11. Using the XV-88 as a GM Sound Module (GM Mode)
Rx Sw (Receive Switch)
Specifies whether each Part will receive Note messages (ON),
or not (OFF).
You can also set the Rx Sw parameter on the GM PLAY
page. Press ZONE/PART SELECT [1/9][8/16] to
switch the setting to ON (indicator lighted), or OFF
(indicator extinguished). When the [1-8/9-16] indicator
is extinguished, Parts 18 are switched on and off, and
when the [1-8/9-16] indicator is lit, Parts 916 are
switched on and off (p. 25).
Mute Sw (Mute Switch)
Mute Sw temporarily mutes (ON) or releases the mute (OFF)
for the performance of each Part.
Use this setting when, for example, you want to use the
instrument for karaoke by muting the Part playing the
melody, or when you want to play something using a
separate sound module.
The Mute Sw parameter does not turn the Part off, but
rather mutes the sound by setting the volume to 0.
Therefore, MIDI messages are still received.
