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.
Group Number Bank Select Program Change
MSB LSB Number
USER 001–064 85 00 001–064
CD-A 001–064 85 32 001–064
:::::
CD-H 001–064 85 39 001–064
PR-A 001–032 85 64 001–032
PR-B 001–032 85 65 001–032
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.
