    (p. 48) • Turn off effects Since the XV-2020 effects have such a profound impact on its sounds, turn off a Patch’s effects during programming so you can more clearly hear the changes you’re making. Actually, sometimes just changing effects settings can give you the sound you want.

    The intervals between G and B, C and E, F and G#, Bb and C#, and Eb and F# have a natural third-the interval between a major third and a minor third. On the XV-2020, you can use Arabian temperament in the three keys of G, C and F.

  • Page 52: Tips For Choosing A Waveform

    • One-shot:These waveforms contain sounds that have short decays. A one-shot waveform records the initial rise and fall of its sound. Some of the XV-2020’s one-shot waveforms are sounds that are complete in themselves, such as percussive instrument sounds. The XV-2020 also contains many other one-shot waveforms that are elements of other sounds.
  • Page 53 Chooses the desired waveform. You can choose a separate waveform for the XV-2020’s left and right channels. * For monaural tones, assign a waveform to the L channel. No sound will be heard if a waveform is set for only the R channel.

  • Page 73 For example, if you play one note using a Patch that consists of only one Tone, you’ll use up one voice of polyphony. XV-2020 Tones may use two Waveforms. If a Patch’s Tone uses two Waveforms, the number of voices it requires is doubled. If two keys are pressed with a Patch that has four Tones, and each Tone uses two Waveforms, a total of sixteen voices are used.
