Modifying a Rhythm Tone's Waveform and Panning (WAVE)

Selecting a Waveform for Editing
Some parameters can be set independently for each Waveform in a Rhythm Tone.

With the XV-5050, 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 WMT (Wave Mix Table).

lect the desired character.

XP-A, B: Wave Expansion Board A, B
* It is not possible to select a Group of a Wave Expansion Board that is not installed.
0001–1083 This selects the desired waveform by its number. You can choose a separate waveform
for each of the XV-5050's left and right channels. The selected wave's name will appear
to the right of the wave number parameter.
-6, 0, +6, +12 dB This specifies the gain (or amplitude) of the waveform. The value changes in 6 dB
(decibel) 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.
OFF, ON This specifies whether the Rhythm Tone will sound (ON) or not (OFF). In order to
make best use of the available number of simultaneous voices, unused Rhythm Tones
should be turned off.
OFF, ON This determines whether the waveform is synchronized (ON) or not synchronized
(OFF) to the Rhythm Set's tempo.
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 Tone Level setting (TVA
p. 61) combined with the WMT Wave Tone Level setting.
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. 61), offsetting the WMT Wave Pan value.
OFF, ON Use this setting to cause the waveform's panning to change randomly each time a key
is pressed (ON) or not (OFF). The range of the panning change is set by the Tone
Rhythm Pan Depth setting (TVA p. 61).
OFF, ON, REV Set this to ON to pan the Wave according to the Alternate pan depth (TVA p. 61) set-
tings, or to REVERSE when you want the panning reversed. If you do not want the
panning to change each time a key is pressed, set this to OFF.
-48– +48 This adjusts the pitch of Rhythm Tone in semitone steps (-4– +4 octaves).
-50– +50 This adjusts the pitch of the Rhythm Tone in 1-cent steps (1/100th of a semitone) over
a range of half a semitone up or down.
