Roland XV-88 Manuale Utente

With the XV-88, you have total control over a wide variety of 
settings. Each item that can be set is known as a 

. 

When you change the values of parameters, you are doing 
what is referred to as 

. This chapter explains the 

procedures used in creating Performances, and the functions 
of the Performance parameters.

A Performance is a collective set of assignments of the 
sixteen different Patches and Rhythm Sets. Since a 
Performance can simultaneously handle 16 different sounds, 
it allows you to play multiple Patches simultaneously (layer) 
or to play different Patches in different areas of the keyboard 
(split), and to create ensembles.

Start with an existing Performance and edit it to create a new 
Performance. But before you do, try to envision what the 
entire Performance will sound like and decide which Patch 
or Rhythm Set to assign to each of 16 Parts.

1. Press [PERFORM] to access the PERFORM PLAY page, 

and select the Performance whose settings you wish to 
modify (p. 35).

If you want to create all your Performances from the 
ground up, rather than the Performances that have 
already been prepared, carry out the 

 operation 

2. Press [EDIT] to make the indicator light.

3. Use the function buttons to select a display group.

The indicator for the button of the selected display group 
begins blinking.

4. Use

or

to select a display page.

5. If you have selected a parameter display that can be set 

independently for each Part, the number of the Part 
selected for editing will be shown in the upper left of the 
display. To edit a different Part, press [EDIT] to 
temporarily turn off the indicator, and use ZONE/PART 
SELECT [1/9]–[8/16] to select a Part. When the [1-8/9-
16] indicator is extinguished, Parts 1–8 are selected, and 
when the [1-8/9-16] indicator is lit, Parts 9–16 are 
selected.

6. Use

or

to move the cursor to the parameter you 

wish to modify.

7. Use the VALUE dial, [INC/+]/[DEC/-], or the numeric 

keys to modify the parameter value.

If you’ve made a mistake in setting a parameter value, or 
you have second thoughts about the changes, press 
[UNDO/COMPARE] to restore the value to what it was.

8. If you wish to move to another display group, press 

[EDIT] to make the indicator light, and use the function 
buttons.

You can also move to another display group by holding 
down [SHIFT] and using

or

. Since this can be 

done even when the [EDIT] indicator is dark, it is a faster 
way to get around because you don’t have to turn on the 
[EDIT] indicator each time.

9. Repeat steps 3–8 to complete a Performance.
