Playing Phrase Loops in Sync
with the System Tempo
with the System Tempo
Samples of drum, percussion, or other such phrases are
called Phrase Loops. Normally, to play a Phrase Loop at an
altered tempo, the pitch has to be adjusted. This is because of
the nature of Phrase Loops, that is, when the tempo of a
Phrase Loop is increased, the pitch rises, and the pitch falls
when the tempo is decreased. To give an example, if a record
is spun faster than normal, the pitch is higher than when
normally played, and if spun more slowly than normal, the
pitch is lower than when played normally. Such adjustments
in pitch when playing a Phrase Loop at a changed tempo
consumes a lot of time and effort.

Certain Patches on “SR-JV80-10: BASS&DRUMS” and other
commercially available Wave Expansion Boards use Waves
(Phrase Loops) for which the tempo (BPM) is indicated. With
the XV-88, you can synchronize performances to a
designated tempo in a Phrase Loop or the tempo set by an
external MIDI device merely with a simple setting. Here, let’s
synchronize a Phrase Loop to the System tempo.
