Creating a Rhythm Set
Rhythm Parameter
RHYTHM KEY VELOCITY RANGE
* Parameters that can be set independently for each Waveform are indicated by “#.”
RHYTHM KEY WMT (Wave Mix Table)
With the XV-2020, up to four stereo Waves can be assigned to a single Rhythm Tone. You can select the
way tones sound according to the force with which the keys are played, thus allowing you to create
Rhythm Tones featuring great expressive power. This function is called (Wave Mix Table).
*
Parameters that can be set independently for each Waveform are indicated by “#.”
Parameter Value Description
VELOCITY CONTROL OFF, ON,
RANDOM This determines whether Velocity range settings will be recognized (ON), or ignored
(OFF). When set to RND, the Rhythm Set’s constituent Waves will sound randomly, re-
gardless of any Velocity messages.
FADE LOWER#
(Velocity Fade Width Lower) 0–127 This determines what will happen to the waveform’s level when it is played at a velocity
lower than its specified velocity range. Higher settings produce a more gradual change in
volume. If you don’t want notes played outside the specified velocity range to be heard at
all, set this to 0.
LOWER#
(Velocity Range Lower) 1–UPPER This sets the lowest velocity at which the waveform will sound. This feature is useful
when you want different waveforms to be heard depending on how hard you play the
Rhythm Set.
UPPER#
(Velocity Range Upper) LOWER–127 This sets the highest velocity at which the waveform will sound. This feature is useful
when you want different waveforms to be heard depending on how hard you play the
Rhythm Set.
* It is not possible to set the Lower value higher than the Upper value, or the Upper value below
the Lower value.
FADE UPPER#
(Velocity Fade Width Upper) 0–127 This determines what will happen to the waveform’s level when it is played at a velocity
upper than its specified velocity range. Higher settings produce a more gradual change in
volume. If you don’t want notes played outside the specified velocity range to be heard at
all, set this to 0.
Parameter Value Description
WAVE GROUP# INT, EXP-A,
EXP-B This selects the desired waveform’s group.
INT: Internal
EXP-A, B:
Wave Expansion Board A, B
* It is not possible to select a Group of a Wave Expansion Board that is not installed.
WAVE NUMBER L#
(Wave number left) 0001–1083 This selects the desired waveform by its number. You can choose a separate waveform
for each of the XV-2020’s left and right channels.
* For monaural tones, assign a waveform to the L channel. No sound will be heard if a waveform
is set for only the R channel.
WAVE NUMBER R#
(Wave number right)
TEMPO SYNC#
(Wave tempo sync)
OFF, ON This determines whether the waveform is synchronized (ON) or not synchronized
(OFF) to the Rhythm Set’s tempo.
GAIN#
(Wave gain) -6, 0, +6, +12 dB This specifies the gain (or amplitude) of the waveform. The value changes in 6 dB (deci-
bel) steps—an increase of 6 dB doubles the waveform’s gain. If you intend to use the
Booster to distort the waveform’s sound, set this parameter to its maximum value.
LEVEL#
(Wave level) 0–127 This adjusts the volume of each of the Rhythm Tone’s waveforms to establish the de-
sired volume balance between the waves.
* The overall volume of each waveform is determined by the Rhythm Tone Level setting (TVA
p. 67) combined with the WMT Wave Tone Level setting.
PAN#
(Wave pan) L64–63R This establishes the stereo location of the waveform. L64 places it hard left, 0 outs it
dead-center and 63R pans it hard right.
* The overall panning of the entire Rhythm Tone is set by the Tone Pan parameter (TVA p. 68),
offsetting the WMT Wave Pan value.
