Description
When using more than one XV-5050, set this parameter to 2–8. When not using the Stack feature, set the parameter to OFF.
If Stack mode is turned off, the Stack feature will not operate, and each XV-5050 will attempt to sound all of the note messages
that it receives.
When the Stack feature is enabled, this parameter selects the XV-5050 that is to function as the primary/first unit—this is the
XV-5050 that will sound the first 64 voices.
Value Description
OFF, ON OFF: MIDI messages arriving at the MIDI IN and the USB connectors are all sent to the sound gen-
erator.
ON: MIDI messages arriving at the MIDI IN connector are output as is from the USB connector,
while the MIDI messages that arrive at the USB connector are output through the MIDI OUT con-
nector.
* When this parameter is set to "ON," the sound generator receives MIDI messages only from the
USB connector. For the sound generator to receive MIDI messages from the MIDI IN connector,
the MIDI Thru function on your computer must be set to "ON."
