Operation Manual

XD9-XD3

Utility

The Utility menus are used to control the physical controllers, the MIDI accordions, the pedals and a group of parameters that modify the gen-

eral performance of the XD9.

From the main page of the display, press F3 Utility to access the first page indicated as 1/2 at the top right part of the display. To select the

other page use the PAGE +/- push buttons. The single groups of parameters, to which other menus correspond, are enabled using the relative

function push buttons.

: This calls up a new page with the parameters dedicated to the use of a MIDI accordion. For further details, please refer to

the chapter ‘MIDI Accordion’ below.

F2 Modulation:

This calls up a new menu dedicated to the management of the Modulation Wheel. The parameters available are the following:

FF11 LLFFOO PPiittcchh

: When On, the Modulation Wheel controls the entry of the modulation of the LFO on the pitch to create a cyclic

vibrator. It can be set Off only if at least one modulation between DCF, DCA, Cutoff and WhaWha is enabled so that the

Modulation Wheel always controls a parameter.

F2 LFO DCF: When On, the Modulation Wheel controls the entry of the modulation on the LFO on the filter cut-off.

F3 LFO DCA: When On, the Modulation Wheel controls the entry of the modulation on the LFO on the amplitude to create a

cyclic tremolo.

F4 Cutoff: When On, the Modulation Wheel directly controls the filter cut-off. This proves useful to control the harmonic rich-

ness of a timbre. It cannot be used if F6 Wha-Wha is already enabled.

F5 Escape: This returns to the initial page of the Utility menu.

F6 Wha-Wha: When On, the Modulation Wheel controls the Wha-Wha effect, typical of electric guitars. It cannot be used if F4

Cutoff is already enabled.

F7 To Swell: When On, it transfers all the parameters controlled by the Modulation Wheel to the optional Volume pedal.

F8 Mod. Rate: The value entered using the VALUE +/- push buttons defines the velocity of the LFO’s used with the

Modulation Wheel

F9 Mod. Amou: The value entered using the VALUE +/- push buttons establishes the modulation depth that can be obtained

using the Modulation Wheel for the LFOs.
