Establishing the MIDI and USB Settings

Setting the MIDI Channel

The XV-5050 produces sound, and can change its internal settings in response to MIDI messages that it receives from other devices. In order for
this to occur, the MIDI transmission channels of the external device must match the MIDI reception channels of the XV-5050.

a Rhythm Set.
