Chapter 11. Using the XV-88 as a GM Sound Module (GM Mode)
Convenient Functions in GM
Mode (GM Utility)
In the GM mode, you can initialize GM mode, and transmit
GM mode settings, using the Utility functions.
Basic Procedure
1. In the GM mode, press [UTILITY] so its indicator blinks.
The XV-88 will switch to Utility mode.
2. Press or to select the UTIL 1 group.
fig.11-13
The functions of the UTIL 2 group can also be executed
from GM mode. The operation is the same as in other
modes (p. 179).
3. Use or to select the desired function (the function
name will blink), and press [ENTER].
The display for the desired function will appear.
You can also access the desired function page by using
the numeric keys or function buttons to specify the
number of the function.
4. When parameters in the different function page are to be
set, you can use the VALUE dial, [INC/+]/[DEC/-], or
the numeric keys to make the settings.
To cancel the operation, press [EXIT].
5. Press [ENTER] to execute the function.
When the operation is completed, the display will briefly
indicate “COMPLETED.”
When certain functions are executed, you are then
returned to the original mode page.
6. To return to the UTIL 1 page, press [EXIT]. To return to
the GM PLAY page, press [UTILITY] to make the
indicator go dark.
Initializing GM Mode (INIT)
fig.11-14
The GM Initialize operation affects only GM mode data;
no data stored in the user memory is initialized. If you
wish to restore all of the XV-88’s settings to their factory
values, perform a Factory Reset (p. 191).
Mode (Initialize Mode)
There are two initialize methods. Select either of them
depending on the application.
GM: Makes the basic General MIDI system settings using a
General MIDI System On message.
GM2: Makes the basic General MIDI 2 system settings using
a General MIDI 2 System On message.
Transmitting GM Mode Settings
(XFER)
fig.11-15
You cannot store GM mode settings in internal memory (user
memory). If you wish to keep your GM mode settings, you
can transmit them as a MIDI message to an external MIDI
device.
Prepare the external MIDI device to record data, and press
[ENTER].
For more on GM mode settings to be transmitted, refer to
“MIDI Implementation” (p. 270).
If you do not want the settings of a specific Part to be
transmitted, turn off the Receive Switch for that Part (p.
196).
