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. For details regarding the parameters that you can edit using only this device, refer to the “List of Parameters That Can Be Affected Using the XV-2020 (p. 117).
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 Tone 1 Tone 2 Tone 3 Tone 4 Tone 1 Tone 2 Tone 3 Tone 4 Example 2: A Patch consisting of four Tones. Example 1:A Patch consisting of only one Tone (Tones 2–4 are turned off). You can turn the Tones in a Patch on or off. Only Tones that are turned on are heard when you play the Patch. (p.
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). When an LFO is applied to pitch, a vibrato effect is produced. When an LFO is applied to the TVF cutoff frequency, a wahwah effect is produced. When an LFO is applied to the TVA volume, a tremolo effect is produced.
Creating a Patch Patch Parameter Tone-Related Settings Parameter TONE SWITCH Value OFF, ON TONE SELECT OFF, ON Description Here’s how to turn on the Tones that you want to hear in a Patch. You can also use the on/off technique described in this section to audition an individual Tone by turning off all the other Tones in a Patch. Selects the Tone to be edited.

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. NOTE: The pitch begins changing to the new note’s pitch only after it has first reached its original pitch destination. Sets the time over which one pitch glides to the next.
Creating a Patch PATCH & VELOCITY KEY RANGE PATCH VELOCITY RANGE Parameters that can be set independently for each Tone are indicated by “#.
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. * Parameters that can be set independently for each Tone are indicated by “#.
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. Parameter SCALE TUNE SWITCH Value OFF, ON KEY C–B SCALE (Key Scale C–B) -64–+63 Description Turn this on when you wish to use a tuning scale other than equal temperament. The XV2020 allows you to use temperaments other than equal temperament.
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. Therefore, if you try to create a sound that’s totally different from the waveform(s) you’re working with, the desired result may be difficult or impossible to achieve. The XV-2020’s internal waveforms fall into the following two groups.
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. Value INT, EXP-A, EXP-B Description Chooses the desired waveform’s group. INT: Internal EXP-A, B: Wave Expansion Boards A, B * It’s not possible to select EXP-A, B unless a wave expansion board is inserted into the corresponding slot. 0001–1083 Chooses the desired waveform.

Creating a Patch Parameter ENV TIME KF (Pitch Envelope Time Keyfollow) Value -100–+100 Description Use this parameter when you want the keyboard location of notes to affect times T2–T4 of the pitch envelope. Higher values for this parameter cause more extreme changes to the T2– T4 settings as you play further away from Middle C (C4)—at Middle C itself, your original T2–T4 settings are in effect. Positive (+) settings cause the times to be shortened for notes above Middle C.

Creating a Performance How a Performance Is Organized In the XV-2020’s Performance mode, you can play and control up to 16 instrument sounds at the same time, including Patches and/or Rhythm Sets. Such a set of sounds, as well as an effect setup, can be saved as a “Performance.” Each Performance is comprised of 16 “Parts,” each of which controls one of its sounds. Because the XV-2020 sound generator can play multiple sounds at the same time, it’s called a “multitimbral sound module.” fig.Performance.
Creating a Performance Using the XV-2020 as a Multitimbral Sound Module In Performance mode, you can use the XV-2020 as a 16-part multitimbral sound module. Let’s try choosing some Parts and their sounds, and then play the multiple Parts together as a Performance.

Using the XV-2020 Effects This chapter explains how effects are applied in Patch/Rhythm Set mode or Performance mode. * For information about the application of effects in GM mode, refer to “Making Effects Settings in GM Mode (EFFECTS) (p. 97).” Effect Types The XV-2020 has the following four onboard effect processors, and settings can be made independently for each. MFX (Multi-Effects) The Multi-effects are multi-purpose effects that completely change the sound type by changing the sound itself.
Using the XV-2020 Effects Patch/Rhythm Set Mode Settings Only one Multi-effect, Chorus, or Reverb effect can be set for each Patch or Rhythm Set. You cannot apply differing types of Multi-effects, Chorus, or Reverb to each of the Tones or Rhythm Tones comprising the Patch or Rhythm Set. Basic Process of Making Effects Settings When applying effects in Patch/Rhythm Set mode, the following procedure is used to make the settings. 1. Setting the Output Method of the Direct Sound (Output Assign -> p.

MIDI Implementation ■Decimal and Hexadecimal Table (An “H” is appended to the end of numbers in hexadecimal notation.) In MIDI documentation, data values and addresses/sizes of Exclusive messages, etc. are expressed as hexadecimal values for each 7 bits. The following table shows how these correspond to decimal numbers.
MIDI Implementation ■Example of an Exclusive Calculating a Checksum Message and Roland Exclusive messages (RQ1, DT1) are transmitted with a checksum at the end (before F7) to make sure that the message was correctly received. The value of the checksum is determined by the address and data (or size) of the transmitted Exclusive message.
MIDI Implementation ■The Scale Tune Feature (address: 40 1x 40) The scale Tune feature allows you to finely adjust the individual pitch of the notes from C through B. Though the settings are made while working with one octave, the fine adjustments will affect all octaves. By making the appropriate Scale Tune settings, you can obtain a complete variety of tuning methods other than equal temperament. As examples, three possible types of scale setting are explained below.
