Q&A
Q: Sometimes, when playing legato, the pitch
won't rise. Why is this?
A: Let's say you have the Legato Switch set to "ON," and the
Legato Retrigger set to "OFF." When you try to sound a
legato (by pressing a higher key while a lower key is held
down), the pitch may sometimes not be able to rise all the
way to the intended pitch (stopping instead at an
intermediate pitch). This can occur because the limit of pitch
rise, as determined at the wave level, has been exceeded.
Additionally, if differing upper pitch limits are used for the
waves of a Patch that uses multiple tones, it may stop being
heard in MONO. When making large pitch changes, set the
Legato Retrigger to "ON."
Q: When switching Patches in Patch mode, the
volume and other parameters set with Control
Changes end up being reset.
A: Set Patch Remain ([SYSTEM]/[General]) to "ON." Even
once they have switched Patches, Control Change messages
that have been received are carried forward, so even when
switching a Patch whose level is turned all the way down by
a Control Change volume message, the level remains
unchanged.
Q: The sound stops when the internal Wave
0887:DC is selected as the Wave for the Patch.
A: Check the structure of the Patch in STRUCT ([PATCH]/
[Common]/[Struct]).
Wave 0887:DC is a Wave composed only of DC constituents.
When this Wave is selected for an initialized Patch and then
played, after an initial click sound at the beginning, the is no
sound.If this Wave is used for W2 in Structure 2 or later, the
Wave level set for W1 is raised by W2, causing the upper
limit to be exceeded. As a result, the sound may cease.
Q: If the Tone Delay time value is set to the
note, then does the delay time not change
beyond a fixed length when the tempo is
slowed down?
A: The Tone Delay time has an upper limit, so if the upper
limit of a value set to the note is exceeded when the tempo is
retarded, that upper value cannot rise any further.
Q: Even when I set the Pan for a Patch
completely to one side, sound still comes from
the other channel...
A: The XV-5080's internal effects are in stereo, so if you have
effects applied to a Patch, even if the Pan is set all the way to
one side, you will still be able to hear sounds of the effect
component from the other channel.
■ Issues Related to Rhythm Sets
Q: Can I use two or more Rhythm Sets in a
Performance?
A: With the XV-5080, there is no limit on the number of
Rhythm Sets that can be used in Performances. You can also
use Rhythm Sets in all of the sixteen Parts simultaneously.
For more information on how to make these settings, refer to
the Owner's Manual (p. 162).
Q: What Note Numbers can be used with
Rhythm Sets?
A: MIDI Note Numbers 21 through 108; or, using Key
Numbers, the 88 Keys A0 through C8.
Q: I want to apply an effect to a specific
instrument sound.
A: You can do this with the output settings for the Rhythm
Tones assigned to each key to determine whether or not the
multi-effects are used and setting the Chorus or Reverb send
level for each instrument sound. Refer to the Owner's
Manual (p.114).
Furthermore, by connecting any of the six separate OUTPUT
jacks to an external effects device and setting the output of a
specified instrument sound to that jack, you can add effects
from the external effects device to a specific instrument
sound.
Q: Can I use samples (wave data) loaded from
a sampler library or other such source to the
Rhythm Set?
A: Yes.
■ Issues Related to Effects
Q: How can I control a Performance's multi-
effects using a MIDI keyboard, sequencer, or
similar device?
A: Some of the multi-effects parameters can be controlled
using MIDI messages, such as Control Changes, in real time.
However, the parameters that can be controlled are different,
depending on the multi-effect.
The MIDI message to be used in controlling the parameter is
selected as the "Source" for MFX Control ([PERFORM]/
[EFFECTS]/[MFX Ctl])—whereas the parameter to be
changed is selected through "Destination," and the amount of
modification is determined using "Sens."
Q: What MIDI channels can be used for control
of the multi-effects in Performance mode?
A: Setting the multi-effects Source (MFX SOURCE
([PERFORM]/[Effects]/[General])) to PART 1-32 enables
each Part's MIDI Receive channel, and when Source is set to
