Playing the X5DR in Multi Mode (Playing Back GM Scores)
Multi mode allows you to use the X5DR as a 16-channel multi-timbre (GM) tone generator, controlled from the connected computer, to play ensemble music consisting of multiple instrument parts. This section explains playing the X5DR in Multi mode.

Multi mode

s What is Multi mode?
Multi mode allows you to use the X5DR as a 16-channel multi-timbre (GM) tone generator. You can play different Programs assigned to 16 tracks. When you turn on the power to the X5DR, Multi mode uses a default GM setting, which allows you to play back a GM score (GM performance data) right away. If you wish to restore the GM default setting, send the GM System On message or set 23A SET TO GM accordingly. * If the GM score is not played back correctly, refer to Notes on playing back GM scores on Page 18.
Press the [MULTI] button to enter Multi mode.
* The [MULTI] button allows you to switch between Global mode and Multi mode. When the X5DR is in Global mode (the indicator flashes), press the [MULTI] button again to enter Multi mode (the indicator lights up).

* Send the Bank Select messages to change the Banks between A and G.

Structure of Multi Mode

Multi mode allows you to use the X5DR as a GM tone generator which conforms to General MIDI System Level 1. When GM ON messages are received or when the power is turned on, the GM settings are automatically selected. You can restore the GM settings in 23A SET TO GM (see page 114). When the GM settings are selected, MIDI Channels for Tracks 116 will become 116, respectively. Track 10 (MIDI Channel 10) is used for a rhythm part:G129:GM Kit. Other tracks are assigned G01: Piano. You can play different Track Programs on each track by transmitting performance information via the MIDI channel that corresponds to each track from a computer or sequencer.

The X5DR produces the sound of multiple Programs simultaneously. When Timbres are layered together, they produce a thick and complex Combination, such as a piano sound overlapped with a strings sound.
Timbres can be set to produce the sound of a different Program when you play a different range on the keyboard. For example, you can play a piano sound in the higher range of the keyboard using your right hand, and play a bass sound in the lower range of the keyboard using your left hand.

VSw (Velocity Switch)

Timbres can be set to respond to a specic key velocity (how rmly you strike the keys). For example, you can set Timbres in such a way that a strings sound is produced when you play the keyboard softly, and a brass sound is produced when you play the keyboard hard.
Layer Program B Program A
Multiple Programs are overlapped.

Program A

Program B
A different Program will sound according to a specific range (key position).

VSw Program B Program A

Key touch A different Program will sound according to how hard you strike the keys.
The examples here are all based on the use of two Programs. Since the X5DR allows you to use up to eight Timbres, you can combine these types to create more sophisticated settings.

Combination Edit mode

Combination Edit mode allows you to modify the sound of Combinations. You can change the Programs assigned to the Timbres and edit the voicing range of each Timbre.

Refer to Editing Combinations (page 51) for information on how to edit Combinations, and refer to 2. COMBINATION Parameters (page 100) for information on the parameter functions.

Multi Mode

In Multi mode, you can play the X5DR as a 16-part multi-timbral GM tone generator. In this mode, 16 tracks are available to play Bank A and G Programs.
Playing the X5DR in Multi mode
In Multi mode, you can use 16 tracks, each of which can be assigned to a different MIDI receive channel. (Initially, Tracks 116 are assigned to MIDI receive channels 116, respectively.) Transmit data from a transmission device (such as a MIDI keyboard or computer) via the respective MIDI channel. Initially, you can use the X5DR as a GM tone generator in Multi mode.

<<Dynamic Modulation>>
Dynamic modulation is a powerful function that allows you to control the effect balance and parameters during performance. You can adjust the effects or obtain effects that could not be achieved through usual external effect units, using Control Change messages such as modulation, or VDA EG. The type of parameter you can control via dynamic modulation varies depending on the effect type. Refer to page 145 for details.

Editing Combinations

This section offers a tutorial for editing Combinations. If you wish to save an edited Combination, you must perform a Combination Write operation.) If you do not save the edited Combination, the existing Combination will not change. (Refer to page 106 for information on the Combination Write operation.)
Layering Multiple Programs
You can create a new sound by combining multiple Programs in a Combination. In the following example, we will edit Combination 58: Moon Stone. Note: If Combination 58 is not Moon Stone, Preset b Combination may have been loaded. For this tutorial, rst load Preset a Combinations to edit. (See page 20, 156.) 1 Select Combination 58: Moon Stone in Combination Play mode. 2 Press the [EDIT] button to enter Combination Edit mode. Before editing a Combination in Combination Edit mode, you must select a Combination in Combination Play mode. 3 Press the [PAGE+] or [PAGE] button to display the appropriate page on the LCD screen. You do not have to switch pages; you can change Programs in 0A PROGRAM 14 (the page for Program Timbres 14). 4 Press the [] and [] cursor buttons to select a Timbre. 5 Use the [v] and [w] buttons to select a Program.
Select the Combination in Combination Play mode.

Press the [EDIT] button to enter Combination Edit mode.
Change the Programs assigned to Timbres 13 and listen to how the sound changes. Combination 58: Moon Stone consists of different Programs assigned to three Timbres as illustrated below. (Timbres 48 are not used.)
Timbre 3 Timbre 2 Timbre 1 A05 : GlockBells A37 : FreshWaves A78 : Swell Pad
You can select Programs to assign to Timbres 18 in the 0A and 0B PROGRAM pages. If you select OFF, that Timbre will not be used.

Adjusting the Volume

You can adjust the volume level of each Timbre using the parameters on pages 1A and 1B LEVEL. The Volume balance among Timbres can affect the sound of the Combination. These are the default settings for each Timbres volume level for Combination 58: Moon Stone: 106 for A78: Swell pad; 106 for A37: FreshWaves; and 067 for A05: GlockBells. Changing the level allows you to adjust the pad-type and bell-type sound balance to create a new sound.

Adjusting the Key Window

You can set the note range for each Timbre in a Combination such that each Timbre will sound only within its specied range on the keyboard. This range is called the Key Window. The Key Window is specied by the upper and lower limits of the note range: 3A and 3B KW TOP (Key Window Top) and 3C and 3D KW BTM (Key Window Bottom). The default setting is C1 to G9 (the entire keyboard range). However, you can specify a certain range or divide the keyboard range in two for each Timbre for use in Split mode. For example, change the KW BTM of Timbre 1 to C4 and KW TOP of Timbre 3 to B3, and you can play bell-type Programs A37: FreshWaves and A05: GlockBells in the low range, and pad-type sound Program A78: Swell Pad in the high range.
Adjusting the Velocity Window
You can also specify the note range within which a Timbre will respond based on the force with which you strike the keys (velocity range). This velocity range is called the Velocity Window. The Velocity Window is specied by 4A, 4B VW TOP (Velocity Window Top) and 4C, 4D VW BTM (Velocity Window Bottom), which represent the upper and lower velocity limits. Velocity (how hard you strike the keys) is expressed by the numbers 001127. The default velocity range is 001127 (in which Timbres respond to any velocity). By changing these parameters, you can set the Timbres in such a way that different Timbres will respond to different key touches. For example, rst reset the Key Window parameters to the default setting. Then change Timbre 1 VW BTM to 64, and VW TOP of Timbres 2 and 3 also to 63. When you play the keyboard softly, only the bell-type Programs A37: FreshWaves and A05: GlockBells will sound; when you play the keyboard hard, the pad-type sound Program A78: Swell Pad will sound.
Key touch (Velocity) A78 : Swell Pad A37 : FreshWaves + A05 : GlockBells
More About Combination Edit
So far we have learned how to switch Programs, adjust the volume, and set the Key Window and Velocity Window. These represent a basic use of the Combination edit functions. You can edit Combinations further by doing such things as changing the pitch for each Timbre (transposition, detune - page 103), and adjusting the pan (see page 105) and send (see page 105) settings. You may also set a different MIDI channel for each Timbre to play via multiple MIDI Channels (see page 102), or set whether or not the X5DR ignores certain MIDI data (see page 104).

Application Guide

The sound does not stop.
If the HOLD parameter is on, sound will not stop even when the X5DR receives a Note OFF message. Make sure that the HOLD parameter is not set to on. (See page 79.) Sound also continues if you remove the MIDI cable or change the connection while the sound is being produced. (The Note Off message is ignored.) In this case, change the mode to stop the sound. If you are using a device that transmits Active Sensing, the sound will be stopped automatically whenever the MIDI connection is interrupted.
The X5DR does not respond to incoming MIDI data.
Make sure that all MIDI cables are connected correctly and that the settings on the transmission device are correct. (See page 1, 913.) If the X5DR does not respond to certain messages such as Pitch Bend, Modulation, etc., the MIDI data may have been ltered out. Check the MIDI lter parameter in Global mode. (See page 151.) You can set the MIDI lter for each Timbre in Combinations and for each Track in Multi mode. (See page 104, 111.)
You cannot change Programs or Combinations.
Program Change messages are used to change Programs and Combinations. Make sure that the messages are sent from the transmission device. In Program Play mode: Send Program Change messages on the Global MIDI Channel. If you wish to change the Bank, send a Bank Select message. (See page 22.) Also, check the MIDI Filter setting in Global mode. (See page 152.) In Combination mode: To change the Combinations, send Program Change messages on the Global MIDI Channel. If you send Program Change messages or Bank Select messages on each Timbres MIDI channel, the Program for the corresponding Timbre will be changed. (See page 151, 102.) Also, check the MIDI Filter setting in Global mode and in the Combinations. (See page 152, 111.) In Multi mode: Send Program Change or Bank Select messages on each Tracks MIDI channel. Also, check the MIDI Filter setting in Global mode and Multi mode. (See page 152, 111.)
The wrong sounds are produced.
You need to write the edited parameter values to memory to store the Program edited in Program Edit mode or the Combination edited in Combination Edit mode. If you select another Program or Combination without saving the edited data, the edit will be lost. (See page 39, 99, 106.) You do not need to carry out the Write function to store the edited Drum Kits. When you are editing a Drum Kit, the parameter settings of the Program selected in Program Play mode are used to produce the sound. If you use a Drum Kit in a Program that is different from the one selected when editing, a different sound will be produced. (See page 53.) Make sure that you select the Program that was selected when you edited the Drum Kit. Combinations remember the Program for each Timbre as a Program number, not as a sound. If you edit the Program used for the Combination or if you select a different Program for the Combination, the sound of the Combination will be also changed.

q 2C Program Change Filter in Global mode allows you to set how the X5DR responds to Program Change messages. The options are ON (ENA), OFF (DIS), PRG (Program), and NUM (Number). With the PRG setting, receiving Program Change messages on the Global MIDI Channel in Combination Play mode will not select a Combination. The Combinations do not change. Only the Programs of each Timbre are changed. With the NUM setting, the X5DR ignores the Bank Select messages. This setting is used to prevent the Bank from being changed when you are playing back performance data on the X5DR, or when you are using a MIDI device that interprets the Bank Select messages in a different manner than does the X5DR.
Pitch Bend messages [EnH,bb,mm] (bb:Lower digits of the value, mm:Upper digits of the value) are used to shift pitch up or down. Note On messages determine the pitch (note or key) using the note numbers in steps of a semitone. Therefore, if you wish to shift pitch in smaller steps, or if you wish to create continuous changes in pitch, such as with trombone and guitar sounds, these messages are useful. A total of 16384 steps are available by using the upper and lower digits (bytes). The standard pitch (the pitch that exactly corresponds to the note number) is expressed by 8192 [bb,mm=00H,40H]. How to set the Pitch Bend value varies depending on the type of sequencer or sequencing software. (For example, some use values 819208191). Refer to the manual that came with your sequencer or sequencing software. To control the X5DR from a MIDI keyboard, you need to operate a pitch bend controller. There are many types of controllers, such as joysticks, wheels, and levers. Operating any one of these allows you to shift the pitch up and down, and releasing it causes the pitch to return to the standard level. When you input Pitch Bend on your computer or sequencer, you can set it to any value. However, make sure that you restore the standard pitch. Otherwise, the Pitch Bend setting will affect subsequent performances. The Joystick Pitch Bend parameter allows you to set the pitch bend range for each Program. This pitch bend range can be set for each Track by Bnd in Multi mode. In Multi mode, you can also use the RPN to set the bend range. In this case, send the RPN [BnH,65H,00H,64H,00H] (Controller #101 set to 0, and Controller #100 set to 0), then send the Data Entry messages [BnH,06H,mm] (Controller #06). mm represents the bend range. 0 is no pitch change, 2 is a whole step (two semitones), and 12 is one octave (12 semitones). The X5DR allows you to set a negative bend range value. (In this case, the pitch bend direction will be reversed.) However, you can set only a positive value using the RPN.

Damper Switch (CTRL#64)

Damper Switch messages [BnH,40H,vv] (Controller #64, vv:Value) are used to transmit the movement of a damper pedal that sustains the sound. The damper switch is OFF when vv is set to 063, and the switch is ON when vv is set to 64127. When you are using a damper switch connected to a MIDI keyboard, releasing the pedal turns the damper effect OFF. However, on a computer or sequencer, you need to set the damper OFF whenever you do not want the effect.

Release Time (CTRL#72)

Release Time messages [BnH,48H,vv] (Controller #72, vv:Value) are used to adjust the VDF EG and VDA EG release time. The range of value vv is 0 through 127. Value 64 is the center value. Larger values (65 or higher) make the release time longer, and smaller values (63 or lower) make the release time shorter. These are useful when you wish to adjust the release time in the middle of a performance.

Attack Time (CTRL#73)

Attack Time messages [BnH,49H,vv] (Controller #73, vv:Value) are used to adjust the attack time of VDA EG. The range of value vv is 0 through 127. Value 64 is the center value. Larger values (65 or higher) make the attack time longer, and smaller values (63 or lower) make the attack time shorter. These are useful when you wish to adjust the attack time in the middle of performance.
Brightness messages [BnH,4A,vv] (Controller #74, vv:Value) are used to adjust the VDF Cutoff to control tonal brightness. The range of value vv is 0 through 127. Value 64 is the center value. Larger values (65 or higher) make the sound brighter, and smaller values (63 or lower) make the sound darker. These are useful when you wish to adjust the tonal brightness in the middle of a performance.

Reverb Level (CTRL#91)

Reverb Level messages [BnH,5BH,vv] (Controller #91, vv:Value) are used to adjust the Send C level. The range of value vv is 0 through 127. Refer to the chart on page 173 for the relationship between the Reverb Level value (vv) and Send C level. Typically, these messages are used to adjust the depth of reverberation. These messages are ignored when the Send setting of the Timbre in Combination mode or Track in Multi mode is PRG. They are also ignored in Program mode.
Effect 1 On/Off (CTRL#92)
Effect 1 On/Off messages [BnH,5CH,vv] (Controller #92, vv:Value) are used to turn Effect 1 On and Off. When vv is 0, Effect 1 is turned Off, and when vv is any value between 1 and 127, Effect 1 is turned On. These messages are received only on the Global MIDI Channel.

Parameter Change

The X5DR can transmit and receive the bulk data of Programs and Combinations, as well as set independent parameter values. You can edit X5DR Programs by sending Parameter Change messages or Drum Kit Parameter Change messages from the computer, another X5DR, X5, or 05R/W. Refer to MIDI Data Format on page 167, 171 for the Parameter Change format.

About the MIDI Filter

The X5DR has a MIDI Filter function that cuts certain MIDI data (i.e., prevents MIDI data from being received) for various performances. You can set the MIDI lter in Global mode. You can also set the MIDI lter for each Track in Multi mode. Combinations also have a MIDI lter for each Timbre, and the X5DR stores the lter settings for each Combination.

The MIDI Filter in Global mode is the setting common to all modes. If you want to set the X5DR so that it will ignore certain data for a specied Timbre or Track in Combination Play mode or Multi mode, set the MIDI Filter in the corresponding Timbre or Track. There are four options: DIS, ENA, PRG, and NUM for the Program Change Filter in Global mode. If you want the X5DR to ignore the Program Change and Bank Select messages, set this parameter to DIS. If you want the X5DR to receive both Program Change and Bank Select messages, set this to ENA or PRG. To set the X5DR so that it will ignore only the Bank Select message (Program Change messages will be received), set this to NUM. If you select ENA or PRG, the X5DR responds to these messages in the same way in both Program Play mode and Multi mode. In Combination Play mode, the X5DR responds to Program Change messages sent on the same MIDI channel as the Global MIDI Channel differently with ENA and PRG settings. When ENA is selected, the Program Change messages sent on the same MIDI channel as the Global MIDI Channel will switch Combinations. When PRG is selected, the Program Change messages will switch Timbre Programs. Set the Program Change Filter in Global mode and in Combinations depending on how you play the X5DR.

The direction in which VDF1 EG Time parameters are affected by keyboard tracking
Velocity Sensitivity EG Intensity: This parameter determines how the VDF1 EG Intensity parameter is affected by note velocity. For positive values, smaller velocity value (soft playing) will reduce the value of the VDF1 EG Intensity parameter, strong playing will increase the value. Negative values will have the opposite effect.
VDF EG Intensity Note off Note on Note off Note on Note off Note on
EG Intensity parameter Setting (all parameters +)
Note: This parameter does not affect the 4A VDF Cutoff Frequency parameter directly, it affects the EG Intensity parameter. So if the EG Intensity parameter, or all other VDF EG parameters are set to 0, it will have no effect.
5A5E VDF1 EG Velocity Sensitivity & Keyboard Tracking
Many acoustic instruments often produce less high-frequency energy when played softly. Soft playing produces a darker sound, while strong playing creates many high frequency harmonics that brighten the sound. This natural phenomenon can be simulated by setting the 4A VDF Cutoff Frequency parameter to a fairly low value, and the 4A VDF EG Intensity, 4C VDF EG Sustain Level, and 5A Velocity Sensitivity EG Intensity parameters to positive values. Velocity Sensitivity EG Time: This parameter determines how the VDF1 EG Time parameters are affected by note velocity. It affects the VDF1 EG Attack, Decay, Slope, and Release Time parameters equally. Although, the direction of change can be set independently for each parameter. Attack, Decay, Slope, Release Times: These parameters determine whether the VDF1 EG Time parameters are reduced or increased with changing note velocity as you play the keyboard more forcefully. For a negative () value, they are increased, for a positive (+) value reduced. A setting of 0 means no effect. The 5A Velocity Sence EG Time value is used for the amount of changes. In the following illustration, each parameter is set to positive.
