3. As you enter the names, be sure to do a Save several times during the process -- and be sure to Save (with the bank window open) when you've entered all the names.
   
   Note: In Roland equipment, the convention for naming keys is based on C4 = middle C; in contrast, Yamaha equipment uses C3 = middle C. If your keystation (like an M-Audio) uses the Yamaha convention, then when you enter the instrument names from page 131 of the XV-2020 manual, an instrument will sound at the key one octave lower on your keystation. For example, in the XV-2020 manual (page 131), C4 = Bongo Hi; but to get the Bongo Hi sound from the M-Audio keystation, you depress C3.
4. We now need to create the MIDI controller messages that will be sent to the XV-2020, so we don't have to set the XV-2020 by hand for each track.
   1. Close the rhythm-set window and return to the Roland_2 layer of Logic's Environment window.
   2. Select the icon for PS-A1 R&B Kit.
   3. In the window's drop-down menu, select Options --> Define Custom Bank Messages. We get a new window, much like a MIDI Event window.
   4. The XV-2020 Owner's Manual (page 41) shows that, to select a rhythm set, we need to send two controller messages: one to controller 0 (MSB) and another to controller 32 (LSB). Here are the messages to be assigned to bank numbers in Logic and entered into the Bank-Select Message window.
      
      

      XV-2020 Bank	Logic Bank Number	MSB Value	LSB Value
      USER	6	86	00
      PST-A	7	86	64
      PST-B	8	86	65
      GM	9	120	00

      
      
   5. From these, load the appropriate pair of MSB and LSB values into the Bank-Select Message window. Editing the window is just like editing a MIDI Event window. You may copy and paste to create two message lines for each bank; label them (a) and (b). Here's what you should have if you use bank = 7 for the PS-A1 R&B Kit:

5. Close the Bank-Select Message window and return to the Environment window. Click on the icon for PS-A1 R&B Kit. Check in the left panel that Channel = 10, Program box is checked with bank = 7, and program = 0.
   

1. Caution: Counting in the XV-2020 is relative to base unity (1, 2, 3, 4, . . . ), but counting in Logic Express is relative to base zero (0, 1, 2, 3, . . .). So, to get the R&B Kit in Preset-A, which is program "001", we must send a MIDI program number "000". Therefore, you would set the bank number to the value you chose for Preset-A rhythm sets (we chose bank = 7 in this tutorial), but set the Program Number = "0", not "1".

6. Close the Environment window. You can now assign the rhythm set R&B kit (Preset A, Program number 001) to tracks in Logic's Arrange window. Here's how.

Note

You must create a separate mapped-instrument and repeat the above process for each drum kit you wish to access from Logic. For example, the Preset-A bank contains four drum kits (page 131 of the Owner's Manual); therefore, to use all four, you would create four mapped-instruments.
