Examples of Applications Using the XV-2020
This section provides clear, concrete examples describing how the 
included XV Editor is used with the XV-2020.
Controlling the XV-2020 in 
real time Using an External 
MIDI Device
External MIDI controllers – modulation lever, foot switch, 
expression pedal, etc. – can be used to modify Multi-Effects settings 
or Tone settings in real time.
Changing Multi-Effects Settings 
From an External MIDI Device
The parameters that can be changed via MIDI are determined by the 
selected Multi-Effects (MFX) Type.
This applies to the MFX Type parameters described in pages p. 82 to 
p. 91 that have an appended “#” mark.
1. Click [PATCH] or [PERFORM].
2. Click the   for [PATCH NAME] or [PERFORM NAME] to 
select the Patch or Performance to be used.

3. Click [PARAM] for [MFX].
4. Click the   for [TYPE] and select [TYPE (MFX TYPE)].

5. Set the parameter and the value.
PATCH MFX
You cannot choose these parameters when the MFX Type is set to 
“00 THROUGH.”
CONTROL SOURCE 
(MFX CONTROL SOURCE1–4)
DESTINATION
 (MFX CONTROL DESTINATION1–4)
This chooses the Multi-Effects parameter to be controlled using the 
MFX Control Source 1–4.
SENS (MFX CONTROL SENS1–4)
If you wish to change the selected parameter in a positive (+) 
direction – i.e., a higher value, toward the right, or faster, etc. – from 
its current setting, choose a positive (+) value. If you wish to change 
the selected parameter in a negative (-) direction – i.e., a lower value, 
toward the left, or slower, etc. – from its current setting, choose a 
negative (-) value. Higher numbers produce a greater amount of 
change.
Changing Tone Settings
You can use the Matrix Control parameter to manipulate Tone 
settings in real time.
Choosing the MIDI Messages Used for Control and 
the Parameters to Be Changed
1. Click [PATCH].
2. Click the   for [PATCH NAME] to select the Patch to be
