Roland XV-88 Manuale Utente

Each mode contains a large number of settable items, and 
these items are organized into groups. When [EDIT] 
indicator is lit, the function buttons are used to select page 
groups. The displays that appear will depend on the current 
mode. The groups that can be selected in each mode are 
printed on the front panel above the buttons.

The Cursor buttons are pressed to switch pages and move 
the cursor, and are used for remote control of external 
sequencers.

The various pages are grouped by function button, and each 
group contains several display pages. Use the cursor buttons 
to move between these display pages and groups.

An upward-pointing arrow (

) shown in the display 

indicates that one or more pages exist before this page. A 
downward-pointing arrow (

) shown in the page indicates 

that one or more pages exist after this page. Press

to 

move to the previous page, or

to move to the next page. 

Press

while holding down [SHIFT] to jump to the first 

page. Press

while holding down [SHIFT] to jump to the 

last page.

In group pages that you select using the function buttons, 
you can hold down [SHIFT] and press

to move to the 

group of the function button to the left, or hold down 
[SHIFT] and press

to move to the group of the function 

button to the right.

Whenever you are in any group page, you can move to 
another group even if [EDIT] indicator is out. In other words, 
this procedure allows you to move to a different group 
without having to turn on [EDIT] indicator, and is a faster 
and more efficient way to get around.

When two or more items are shown in a single display page, 
move the cursor (underline) to the item whose value you 
wish to set. Press

to move the cursor to the left, or

to 

move it to the right.

A 

 symbol appearing in the upper right of the display 

indicates that there are other items in this page that the 
screen has no room to show. Press

to see these items, and 

press

to return to the previous page.

When any PLAY page is displayed, then by pressing the 
different CURSOR buttons while holding down [SHIFT], you 
can have remote start, stop, and other control functions of 
external sequencers connected to the XV-88. This is a useful 
and extremely convenient function to have in situations such 
as when playing ensemble using an external sequencer.

Some sequencers cannot be started or stopped without 
receiving the MIDI Clock (F8h), and settings on certain 
sequencers also cannot be changed. Please use a 
sequencer able to perform START/STOP without 
requiring reception of the MIDI Clock (F8h). For more 
detailed information, refer to the owner’s manual for 
your sequencer.
