Roland XV-88 Manuale Utente

Chapter 2. Playing

Using the Sliders to Modify the
Sound in Realtime

With the four sliders (Palette Slider) in the PALETTE section,
you can create sound variations or volume changes in
realtime.

The sound character and volume changes created using
the sliders can be transmitted to the external MIDI
devices (p. 170).

Changing Sound Characters

1. Make sure that the PATCH PLAY page is displayed.

2. Press [FILTER/ENV] to light its indicator.

3. Move the sliders while you play the XV-88’s keyboard to

vary the sound.

To modify the brightness, move the [CUTOFF] slider.

To change resonance, move the [RESONANCE] slider.

To change attack time, move the [ATTACK] slider.

To change release time, move the [RELEASE] slider.

Changing the Volume of Each Tone

1. Make sure that the PATCH PLAY page is displayed.

2. Press [LEVEL] to light its indicator.

3. Move the LEVEL slider as you play the keyboard to

adjust volume as desired.

Sliders 1, 2, 3, and 4 are used to change the volume of
Tones 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively.

Playing in Performance Mode

There are two types of performances:

Layer Performances

and

Single Performances

. The upper right of the display

will indicate “LAYER p * ” (* is the Part number) for a Layer
Performance, and “part= * ” (* is the Part number) for a
Single Performance.

About the MIDI Connection Settings
(Zone and Part)

Although the XV-88’s keyboard controller section and
sound generator section are connected internally using a
MIDI connection, in Layer Performance mode, you can
then make even more detailed settings affecting the way
the connection works between the keyboard controller
section and the sound generator section, as well as with
an external MIDI device.

At the factory settings, shown below, there is a one-to-
one correspondence between the

Zone

, the

MIDI

Transmit/Receive channel

, and the

Part

<Layer Performance>

fig.01-07.e

Under these conditions, you could simply consider that

“each of the Zones from 1 to 16 is linked in a one-to-

one relationship with its numerical counterpart

among Parts 1 to 16”

. In other words, you can use Zone

1 when controlling Part 1, Zone 2 is when controlling
Part 2, and so on.

We recommend that under normal circumstances

you use the default factory settings.

In this manual, the expression

“the Zone and Part

are linked”

refers to the condition whereby a Zone’s

MIDI transmit channel and a Part’s MIDI receive
channel are matched in this one-to-one relationship.

The explanations in this section describe how to play
Performances using the factory Zone settings.

Zone 2 (MIDI transmit channel 2)

Zone 1 (MIDI transmit channel 1)

Zone 16 (MIDI transmit channel 16)

Part 2 (MIDI receive channel 2)

Part 1 (MIDI receive channel 1)

Part 16 (MIDI receive channel 16)
