Making A Tone's Delay Time Match The System Tempo; Using A Pedal Switch To Change The Rotary Speed Of The Rotary Effect; Playing Phrase Loops At A System's Tempo - Roland XV-5050 Owner's Manual

Chapter 8 Examples of Applications Using the XV-5050
1. Choose a Patch on the PATCH PLAY screen.
2. Set its Patch Clock Source (PATCH:COMMON screen) to
SYSTEM.
3. Make sure that MFX Type (PATCH:EFFECTS screen) is set to
STEP FLANGER.
If not, reset it so that it is.
4. Make sure that Step Rate (PATCH:EFFECTS screen) is set to
a note — not a numerical — value. If necessary, reset it so
that it is.
5. Set System Clock Source (SYSTEM:GENERAL screen) to
INT.
* When System Clock Source is set to MIDI, you can synchronize the
Multi-Effect to the tempo of an external MIDI device.
6. When the System Tempo (SYSTEM:GENERAL screen)
changes, the STEP FLANGER's Step Rate changes along
with it.
Making a Tone's Delay Time Match
the System Tempo
1. Choose a Patch on the PATCH PLAY screen.
2. Set its Patch Clock Source (PATCH:COMMON screen) to
SYSTEM.
3. Set Tone Delay Time (PATCH:WAVE screen) to a note length
— not a numerical value — in relation to the synchronization
tempo.
4. Set System Clock Source (SYSTEM:GENERAL screen) to
INT.
* When System Clock Source is set to MIDI, you can synchronize the
Tone's delay to the tempo of an external MIDI device.
5. When System Tempo (SYSTEM:GENERAL screen) changes,
the Tone's delay time changes along with it.
Using a Pedal Switch to Change the
Rotary Speed of the Rotary Effect
1. Connect a pedal switch (DP-2, DP-6, etc.) to your external
MIDI controller (MIDI keyboard, etc.).
2. Set the pedal switch of the external MIDI controller to
generate FOOT TYPE (CC04) control-change messages.
* To learn how to set up the pedal switch, refer to the external MIDI
controller's owner's manual.
3. Choose "PA:050 Perky B" on the PATCH PLAY screen.
This Patch uses ROTARY as its Multi-Effect.
4. Set Ctrl Src 1 (PATCH:EFFECTS screen) to CC04.
5. Set Ctrl Dest 1 to SPEED, and Ctrl Sens 1 to +63.
6. When you wish to speed up the rotary effect, press the pedal
switch. Release the pedal switch to slow down the rotary
effect.

Playing Phrase Loops at a System's
Tempo
An optional Wave Expansion Board can contain Patches based on
waveforms that are timed — in BPM — phrase loops. You can play
these phrase loops in sync with the System Tempo.
1. On the PATCH PLAY screen, choose a Patch that uses a
phrase loop.
2. Set Patch Clock Source (PATCH:COMMON screen) to
SYSTEM.
3. On the PATCH:WAVE screen, view the Wave Number (L/R).
Press TONE SEL [1]–[4] to find a Tone that uses phrase-loop
waveforms.
The waveform name appears at the right side of the display.
Waveform names that have a BPM number in the first part of the
name (such as "132:WAVE NAME") are phrase loop waveforms.
4. Set Tone Delay Time to 0.
If you choose a value other than 0, a delay will be applied, and
you will not be able to play the Patch normally.
5. Set System Clock Source (SYSTEM:GENERAL screen) to
INT.
* When System Clock Source is set to MIDI, you can synchronize the
phrase loop to the tempo of an external MIDI device.
6. When the System Tempo (SYSTEM:GENERAL screen)
changes, the speed of the phrase loop changes along with it.
* The phrase loop sounds at the system's tempo regardless of which key
you press. The settings for pitch and FXM are ignored.
