31 About Patches and Performances On the XV-2020, sounds are organized according to units called Tones , Patches , Rhythm Sets , and Performances . This section describes the relationship between a Patch and a Performance. What is a Patch? The type of sound most commonly played on the XV-2020 is called a Patch .
32 <MEMO>.
33 Quick Start Quick Start.
34 Playing Sounds The XV-2020 comes with a rich palette of onboard sounds, called Patches . Let’s listen to some Patches in Patch mode. Playing Patches (Phrase Preview) Even when there’s no MIDI keyboard or sequencer connected, the XV-2020 allows you to audition sounds.
35 Playing Sounds Playing Sounds 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.
36 Playing Sounds fig.01-06e Procedure fig.01-07 1. Press [VALUE] to make the PATCH indicator lights up. Press the knob several times, until the PATCH indicator lights up. 2. Turn [CATEGORY/BANK] to choose the bank (USER, PST-A/B/C/D, GM, EXP-A/B) 3. Turn [VALUE] to choose a Patch.
37 Playing Sounds Playing Sounds Choosing Patches by Category On the XV-2020, Patches are grouped into categories , such as “piano” and “guitar.” You can easily change to the category you like and select Patches with the [CATEGORY/BANK] knob. Procedure fig.
38 Playing Sounds Choosing a Performance The collected assignment of Patches or Rhythm Sets to the XV-2020’s sixteen Parts is referred to as a “Performance.” fig.00-10e Selecting Performances and Parts 1. Press [VALUE], so the PERFORM indicator lights up.
39 Playing Sounds Playing Sounds Switching the Mode (Patch, Performance) The XV-2020’s parameters are organized into ten different modes. You can easily switch modes using the [VALUE] knob or [VOLUME] knob. fig.01-13e * Rotating [PART] while in Performance Play mode switches you to Performance Part Play mode.
40 Playing Sounds Using an External MIDI Device to Select Patches and Change Other Settings Selecting Patches and Rhythm Sets You can change Patches – including the Patches in each Part of a Performance – and Rhythm Sets on the XV-2020 via MIDI Part.
41 Playing Sounds Playing Sounds Selecting Performances To switch Performances, after matching the send channel for the external MIDI device with the XV-2020’s Performance Control channel (p. 94), send the Bank Select number and Program Change messages.
42 <MEMO>.
43 Advanced Use Advanced Use Using the XV Editor software included with the XV-2020 together with your computer gives you more control in editing parameters, and even greater freedom in creating sounds. You cannot edit every parameter using the XV-2020 alone.
44 Creating a Patch How a Patch Is Organized The type of sound most commonly played on the XV-2020 is called a Patch . Each Patch can contain up to four Tones. fig.1-01.e You can turn the Tones in a Patch on or off. Only Tones that are turned on are heard when you play the Patch.
45 Creating a Patch Creating a Patch LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) Use the LFO to create cyclical changes—or cyclical “modulation”—in a Tone. Each Tone has two LFOs. An LFO can be applied to the Tone’s pitch settings, TVF (filter), and TVA (volume).
46 Creating a Patch Patch Parameter Tone-Related Settings PATCH COMMON (Settings Common to the Entire Patch) Parameter Value Description TONE SWITCH OFF, ON Here’s how to turn on the Tones that you want to hear in a Patch.
47 Creating a Patch Creating a Patch ANALOG FEEL (Analog Feel Depth) 0–127 Specifies the depth of Analog Feel that is applied to the Patch. Traditional ana- log synthesizers often exhibited a degree of instability in their tuning. The XV- 2020’s Analog Feel feature can simulate this characteristic.
48 Creating a Patch PATCH STRUCTURE PORTAMENTO START PITCH, NOTE Portamento begins anew if you press another key during a pitch movement. This setting specifies how the new portamento starts. PITCH: The pitch begins changing immediately to the new note’s pitch when its key is pressed.
49 Creating a Patch Creating a Patch PATCH & VELOCITY KEY RANGE PATCH VELOCITY RANGE * Parameters that can be set independently for each Tone are indicated by “#.” PATCH KEY RANGE * Parameters that can be set independently for each Tone are indicated by “#.
50 Creating a Patch MATRIX CTRL (Patch Matrix Control) This selects the parameters to be controlled by Matrix Control Source 1–4 and the Sens settings, as well as the specific Tones whose parameters you wish to control. Up to four destination parameters can be selected for each controller and controlled simultaneously.
51 Creating a Patch Creating a Patch PATCH SCALE TUNE One set of Scale Tune settings can be created in Patch mode. * The selected scale applies to MIDI messages received from an external MIDI device as well as to local sound generation. More Advanced Editing of Tones You can edit the Tones in a Patch with a tremendous degree of detail.
52 Creating a Patch Tips for Choosing a Waveform Because the XV-2020 is designed to create highly realistic sounds, the success of the editing process depends to a large degree on the PCM waveforms upon which Tones are based.
53 Creating a Patch Creating a Patch PATCH WG (Patch Wave Group) This set of parameters allows you to select the PCM waveform that serves as the basis for the currently selected Tone, apply effects to the waveform, and control its pitch. Parameter Value Description WAVE GROUP (Wave Group) INT, EXP-A, EXP-B Chooses the desired waveform’s group.
54 Creating a Patch FXM ON (Wave FXM Switch) OFF, ON Sets whether FXM will be used (ON) or not (OFF). [FXM (Frequency Cross Modulation)] FXM uses a specified waveform to apply frequency modula- tion to the currently selected waveform, creating complex overtones.
55 Creating a Patch Creating a Patch PATCH LFO (Applying Vibrato or Tremolo) The LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) can alter various Tone settings in a back-and-forth, cyclic manner. Each Tone has two LFOs, and each can apply the desired amount of repetitive change to the Tone’s Pitch, TVF cutoff frequency, TVA Level and TVA Pan settings.
56 Creating a Patch Parameter Value Description LFO1(2) WAVEFORM (LFO Waveform) SIN, TRI, SAW-UP, SAW-DW, SQR, RND, BEND-UP, BEND-DW, TRP, S&H, CHS Chooses the waveform the LFO is to use.
57 Creating a Patch Creating a Patch * Noise may result from making the LFO PAN DEPTH too deep. To prevent noise, you can either lower the value for the PAN DEPTH, or lower the LFO Rate.
58 Creating a Patch RES (Resonance) 0–127 Increases the level of the cutoff frequency itself to add a popular classic synth char- acter to the sound.
59 Creating a Patch Creating a Patch PATCH TVA (Changing the Volume) The TVA (Time Variant Amplifier) controls volume changes to the Tone, as well as its stereo positioning. ENV VEL CURVE (TVF envelope velocity curve) FIXED, 1–7 This selects one of seven velocity curves that determine how velocity will affect the depth of the TVF Envelope.
60 Creating a Patch PAN (Tone Pan) L64–63R Specifies the stereo position of the Tone. L64 places the Tone hard left, 0 puts it dead- center and 63R pans it hard right. * The overall panning of the entire Patch is set by the Patch Pan parameter (PATCH COM- MON p.
