Roland XV-88 Manuale Utente

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 

indicated by a 

.

For instructions on how to connect up, and set the MIDI 
receive channel in Patch/Rhythm Set mode, refer to 

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.

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 

• 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.

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.

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.
