Roland XV-88 Manuale Utente

In a Layer Performance, the Zones whose Local switches are 
set to ON along with all linked Parts can be played. 
Combining the Parts will produce, thicker, fatter sounds.

1. Make sure the PERFORM PLAY page is displayed.

2. Make sure that the upper right of the display indicates 

“LAYER p * ”(* is the Part number). If the display 
indicates “part= * ” (* is the Part number), the 
performance is a “Single Performance,” so hold down 
[SHIFT] and press [SOLO] to change to a Layer 
Performance.

The setting here is linked to the Key Mode parameter 
(ZONE/COMMON/ZONE COMMON) (p. 58).

3. Confirm that the [EDIT] and [LOCAL/TX] indicators are 

extinguished, and, press a Function button to select the 
Zone linked to the Part you want played, lighting the 
button’s indicator. When the [1-8/9-16] indicator is out, 
zones 1–8 can be selected, and when the [1-8/9-16] 
indicator is lit, zones 9–16 can be selected.

The Local Switch for the selected zone will be turned 
ON.

At the factory settings, there is a one-to-one 
correspondence between each of the Zones 1–16 and 
Parts 1–16.

The setting here is linked to the setting at the Local 
parameter (ZONE/MIDI/MIDI) (p. 60).

4. Repeat Step 3 to set the Local switch to ON for all Zones 

linked to the Parts you want to have play.

If you’ve selected a Layer Performance, you can split the 
keyboard to play separate Patches with different sections of 
the keyboard. As the note range that plays each Zone can be 
specified individually, you can split the keyboard into a 
maximum of 16 sections.

For instance, you can play strings in the lower range, piano 
in the upper range, and both sounds in the middle range.

• If a Patch key range is set in the KEY RANG page 

(PATCH/COMMON), sounds are produced in the 
overlapping sections between the key ranges specified 
for the Patch and Performance.

fig.02-10.e

• Although you can set the key range of each Part in the 

KEY RANG page (PERFORM/COMMON) (p. 51), when 
performing with the XV-88’s keyboard, we recommend 
setting the key range of each Zone, as explained here, 
rather than setting the key range for each Part.

1. Make sure the PERFORM PLAY page is displayed.

2. Make sure that the upper right of the display indicates 

“LAYER p * ”(* is the Part number). If the display 
indicates “part= * ” (* is the Part number), the 
performance is a “Single Performance,” so hold down 
[SHIFT] and press [SOLO] to change to a Layer 
Performance.

The setting here is linked to the Key Mode parameter 
(ZONE/COMMON/ZONE COMMON) (p. 58).
