Each time you press [ CURSOR]/[CURSOR ], the pitch changes in one-octave
steps. You can adjust a Patch’s pitch by as much as +/- 3 octaves.
fig.0-09
Switching Modes (Patch, Performance, or

Rhythm Set)
In addition to Patch mode, the XV-5050 also features three other modes: Performance
mode, Rhythm Set mode, and GM2 mode.
PERFORM (Performance Mode)

Choose this mode when using the XV-5050 as a multitimbral sound module or when
changing Performance settings.
When you press [PERFORM], its indicator lights, and you enter Performance mode.
PATCH (Patch Mode)

Choose this mode when playing a single Patch from a keyboard or when changing
Patch settings.
When you press [PATCH], its indicator lights, and you enter Patch mode.
RHYTHM (Rhythm Set Mode)

Choose this mode when playing Rhythm Sets from a keyboard or when changing
Rhythm Set settings. XV-5050 Rhythm Sets can be used in any Part in a Performance.
You can also select the desired multi-effects for a Rhythm Set.
When you hold down [SHIFT] and press [PATCH], the [PATCH] indicator blinks,
and you enter Rhythm Set mode.
GM (General MIDI 2 Mode)

Choose this mode when using the XV-5050 as a General MIDI 2 compatible sound
module.
When you hold down [SHIFT] and press [PERFORM], the [PERFORM] indicator
blinks, and you enter General MIDI 2 mode.
General MIDI is a set of recommendations that standardizes the MIDI capabilities of
sound modules. Sound modules and music files that adhere to the General MIDI
standard bear the General MIDI logo ( ). Music files bearing the General MIDI
logo can be played back using any General MIDI sound module with essentially the
same musical results.
The upwardly compatible General MIDI 2 ( ) recommendations pick up where

General MIDI leaves off, offering enhanced expressive capabilities and even greater
compatibility.
23
Playing Sounds
Issues not covered by the original General MIDI standard – such as how sounds are
to be edited, and how effects should be handled – are precisely defined in General
MIDI 2. Moreover, the available sounds have been expanded. General MIDI 2
compliant sound modules are capable of reliably playing back music files that carry
either the General MIDI or General MIDI 2 logo. In some cases, the conventional
form of General MIDI, which does not include the new enhancements, is referred to
as “General MIDI 1” as a way of distinguishing it from General MIDI 2.
What is a Performance?
With Performances, you can combine a total of up to sixteen separate Patches and
Rhythm Sets to produce complex, rich ensemble textures. In other words, a
Performance allows you to produce sixteen separate sounds with a single XV-5050.
A sound module that can simultaneously produce multiple sounds – such as the XV-
5050 – is called a “multitimbral” sound module.
What is a Rhythm Set?

A Rhythm Set is a group of percussion instrument sounds. Since these sounds are
not typically used for performing melodies, it’s not necessary to play them at
different pitches across a keyboard. However, it is important to be able to play a
number of percussion instruments at the same time. A Rhythm Set lets you play
different percussion sounds by pressing different keys on your keyboard.

of the Keyboard (Split)
In a Performance, you can divide the keyboard into separate ranges and assign a
different Patch to each range. This can be done by selecting the same MIDI reception
channel for multiple Parts and then changing the pitch range over which each Part
plays. This type of keyboard setup is referred to as a Split.
A split is like a layer in which the Parts’ pitch ranges don’t overlap (Playing Multiple
Layered Patches).

Two Ways to Connect

You can connect the XV-5050 to a computer using either of two methods:
connecting it with a USB connector and connecting it with MIDI connectors.
A USB cable can connect the XV-5050 to your computer’s USB connector.
A MIDI interface is required for making MIDI connections with a computer. The
MIDI interface is connected to the computer, and two MIDI cables connect the MIDI
connectors of the MIDI interface to the XV-5050’s MIDI connectors.

About Patches and Performances

On the XV-5050, sounds are organized according to units called Tones, Patches,
Rhythm Sets, and Performances. This section describes the relationship between
a Patch and a Performance.
What Is a Patch?
The type of sound most commonly played on the XV-5050 is called a Patch. A Patch
is a combination of Tones, which are the smallest units of sound. Each Patch can
contain up to four Tones. If we use the analogy of an orchestra, then Patches are the
musical instruments of the performers.
* For information on Tones, see p. 38.
fig.1-01.e

* 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. 39).
What Is a Performance?
It may be easiest to think of a Performance as being the orchestra itself.
To continue the orchestra analogy, a Performance is made up of the parts assigned
to the respective instruments (called, naturally enough, “Parts”). You can enjoy
ensemble play by combining a total of 16 Patches or Rhythm Sets into one such Part.

This specifies how the frequency components of the Tone change.
The type of sound most commonly played on the XV-5050 is called a

• Decide which Tones will sound
Tone LFO 1 LFO 2
When creating a Patch, it’s important to decide which Tones you
want to use. It’s also important to turn off unused Tones to avoid
wasting voices, unnecessarily reducing the number of
simultaneous notes you can play. (See “Choosing the Tones That
Sound” (p. 39).)
• Check the way in which the Tones are combined
WG TVF TVA Structure Type 1&2 and 3&4 are important parameters that
determine how the four Tones are combined. Before you select
new Tones, make sure you understand how the currently
Pitch TVF TVA selected Tones are affecting each other. (p. 41)

the Tone. Two waveforms can be assigned to each Tone.
The XV-5050 has 1083 different waveforms. (See Waveform List p.
138.)
All Patches built into the XV-5050 consist of combinations of Tones
based on these waveforms.

rameter (TVA p. 48).
* While each Tone in a Patch has its own Pan position, the Patch pan setting shifts
the entire Patch—including all of its Tones—leftward or rightward.
Analog Feel Analog Feel Depth 0–127 Specifies the depth of Analog Feel that is applied to the Patch. Traditional analog
synthesizers often exhibited a degree of instability in their tuning. The XV-5050’s
Analog Feel feature can simulate this characteristic.
Ocatve Shift -3–+3 Sets the pitch of the Patch in units of an octave.
* This setting can also be adjusted from the PATCH PLAY screen. (p. 23)
Coarse Tune -48–+48 Adjusts the pitch of all of the Patch’s Tones simultaneously in semitone steps over
a range of +/-4 octaves.
Fine Tune -50–+50 Adjusts the pitch of all of the Patch’s Tones simultaneously in 1-cent steps (1/100th
of a semitone) over a range of 1/2 semitones up or down.
Stretch Tune Stretch Tune Depth OFF, 1, 2, 3 This setting allows you to apply “stretch tuning” to the Patch. Acoustic pianos typ-
ically use stretch tuning, with their lower range slightly flatter and their higher
range slightly sharper than the actual mathematical tuning ratios dictate. Stretch
is therefore useful when programming a Patch intended to sound like a real piano.
With a setting of OFF, the Patch’s tuning is equal temperament. A setting of 3 pro-
duces the greatest difference in the pitch of the low and high ranges. This diagram
shows the pitch change relative to equal temperament that occurs in the low and
high ranges. Stretch has a subtle effect on the way in which chords resonate.

What is a Booster?
A Booster amplifies the incoming signal, causing it to distort. This creates
an effect similar to the distortion often used on an electric guitar.
What is a Ring Modulator?

A Ring Modulator mathematically multiplies two Tones, creating a new
sound that includes inharmonic overtones that were not present in either
of the two original Tones.
Since the difference in pitch between the two Tones changes the overtone
structure, an un-pitched “metallic” sound often results. Ring modulation
is therefore especially suitable for creating bells and other metallic sounds.

Envelope V- Pitch Envelope -63–+63 Adjust this parameter when you want your keyboard playing dynamics (velocity) to affect the amount of pitch
Sens Velocity Sensi- enveloping. With higher settings, there is a greater difference in the amount of enveloping when notes are
tivity played softly or when they’re played hard. Negative (-) settings reverse the direction of change.
Env Time Keyfl Pitch Envelope -100–+100 Use this parameter when you want the keyboard location of notes to affect times T2–T4 of the pitch envelope.
Time Keyfol- Higher values for this parameter cause more extreme changes to the T2–T4 settings as you play further away
low 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. Negative (-) settings cause the times to be lengthened for
notes above Middle C.

Envelope V-T1 Pitch Envelope -63–+63 Use this parameter when you want keyboard playing dynamics to affect T1 (Time 1) of the pitch envelope. If
Time 1 Velocity you want T1 to be sped up for strongly played notes, set this parameter to a positive (+) value. If you want it
Sensitivity to be slowed down, set this to a negative (-) value.
Envelope V-T4 Pitch Envelope -63–+63 Use this parameter when you want key release speed to affect T4 (Time 4) of the pitch envelope. If you want
Time 4 Velocity T4 to be sped up for quickly released notes, set this parameter to a positive (+) value. If you want it to be slowed
Sensitivity down, set this to a negative (-) value.
Envelope L0– Pitch Envelope -63–+63 Specify the pitch envelope levels. They determine how much the pitch changes from the reference pitch (the
L4 Level 0–4 value set with Coarse Tune and Fine Tune) at each point. Positive (+) settings cause the pitch to be higher than
the standard pitch, and negative (-) settings cause it to be lower.
Envelope T1– Pitch Envelope 0–127 Specify the pitch envelope times. Higher settings lengthen the time until the next pitch is reached. (For exam-
T4 Time 1–4 ple, T2 is the time over which the pitch changes from L1 to L2.)
Changing the Brightness with a Filter (TVF)

The settings for the TVF (Time Variant Filter) allow you to change a Tone’s timbral content by altering its brightness or thickness.

TVF
Filter Type OFF, LPF, BPF, HPF, Selects a filter type. A filter typically reduces, or attenuates, a specific frequency range with-
PKG, LPF2, LPF3 in a Tone in order to accentuate its other frequencies.
OFF: No filter is used.
LPF: A Low Pass Filter reduces the volume of frequencies above the cutoff frequency in
order to un-brighten the sound. This is the most common filter used in synthesizers.
BPF: A Band Pass Filter reduces the volume of frequencies below and above the cutoff
frequency range. This is most effective when creating sounds with a strong character
since it can accentuate a desired range of frequencies anywhere in the sound.
HPF: A High Pass Filter reduces the volume of the frequencies below the cutoff frequen-
cy. This is suitable for creating percussive sounds by rolling of their lower frequencies,
thus emphasizing their higher ones.
PKG: A Peaking Filter emphasizes frequencies around the cutoff frequency by raising
their level. You can use this to create wah-wah effects by employing an LFO to change the
cutoff frequency cyclically.
LPF2: Low Pass Filter 2. This reduces the volume of all frequencies above the cutoff fre-
quency. This differs from LPF in that you can control the amount of the reduction using
the TVF ENVELOPE settings while still maintaining a fixed cutoff frequency. This can be
very effective with acoustic-instrument-based Tones, since nothing is done to weaken the
power and energy of the sound.
* This disables the Resonance setting.
LPF3: Low Pass Filter 3 reduces the volume of frequencies above the cutoff frequency.
While similar to LPF2, it reduces the frequencies more gently than LPF2. This can also be
effective with acoustic-instrument-based Tones.
* This disables the Resonance setting.
Cutoff Frequency 0–127 Adjusts the frequency at which the filter begins to have an effect on the waveform’s frequen-
cy components. With LPF/LPF2/LPF3 selected for the Filter Type parameter, lower cutoff
frequency settings reduce a Tone’s upper harmonics for a more rounded, warmer sound.
Higher settings make it sound brighter. When Filter Type is BPF, the cutoff frequency setting
determines the range of frequencies within the Tone that will be heard. This can be useful
when creating sounds that need to stand out. When Filter Type is HPF, higher settings of the
cutoff frequency decrease the level of the Tone’s low frequencies, preserving its brighter
qualities. When Filter Type is PKG, the cutoff frequency setting determines the range of fre-
quencies to be emphasized.
Resonance 0–127 Increases the level of the cutoff frequency itself to add a popular classic synth character to
the sound. Excessively high settings can produce oscillation, causing the sound to distort.

Cutof Keyfollow Cutoff Keyfol- -200–+200 Use this parameter if you want the cutoff frequency to change according to the key that’s
low pressed. At Middle C (C4), the original Cutoff value is used. Positive (+) settings cause the
cutoff frequency to rise for notes higher than Middle C, and negative (-) settings cause the
cutoff frequency to fall for notes higher than Middle C. Higher settings produce greater
amounts of change to the original Cutoff setting.

TVF VELOCITY
This sets the amount of change to the original cutoff frequency produced in response to differences in velocity, as well as the velocity response curve and velocity’s
effect on Resonance.

velocity curve the TVF Envelope. When set to “FIXED,” the TVF envelope depth remains unchanged, re-
gardless of how hard or soft you play.
Env Time Keyfl TVF Envelope -100–+100 Use this parameter when you want a note’s keyboard position to affect times T2–T4 of the
Time Keyfollow TVF envelope. Higher settings change the times by a greater amount as you move away
from Middle C (C4) - at Middle C, the original T1-T4 settings are in effect. Positive (+) set-
tings cause the times to shorten as you play above Middle C. Negative (-) settings cause the
times to lengthen as you play above Middle C.
Envelope V-T1 TVF Envelope -63–+63 Use this parameter when you want keyboard playing dynamics to affect T1 (Time 1) of the
Time 1 Velocity TVF envelope. If you want T1 to be sped up for strongly played notes, set this parameter to

Time 4 Velocity lope. If you want T4 to be sped up for quickly released notes, set this parameter to a positive
Sensitivity (+) value. If you want it to be slowed down, set this to a negative (-) value.
Envelope L0–L4 TVF Envelope 0–127 Specify the TVF envelope levels. These settings specify how the cutoff frequency changes at
Level 0–4 each point, relative to the standard cutoff frequency.
Envelope T1–T4 TVF Envelope 0–127 Specify the TVF envelope times. Higher settings lengthen the time until the next cutoff fre-
Time 1–4 quency level is reached. (For example, T2 is the time over which L1 changes to L2.)
