Roland XV-88 用户手册

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 

, the 

, and the 

.

Under these conditions, you could simply consider that 

. In other words, you can use Zone 1 when controlling 

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

In advances uses, where the factory settings would not be 
used, the following examples of settings might be employed.

When recording to an external sequencer while playing the 
bass part in the left hand and the layered piano and string 
tones in the right hand, the following is what results when 
the factory settings are used.

fig.01-08.e

However, in this arrangement, the data for the performance 
in the right hand ends up being recorded after overlapping 
on MIDI Channels 1 and 2. Although normally there is no 
particular problem with recording overlapped data, because 
of the limit on the number of notes that can be recorded 
using an external sequencer, along with other certain issues, 
the external sequencer’s memory may overflow, and you 
may then be unable to record all the way to the end of your 
performance.

Therefore, change the settings to those shown below 
(changes indicated in underline).

fig.01-09.e

With the above settings, the data for the performance in the 
right hand is sent only on MIDI Channel 1, so there is no 
overlapping of the performance data when recording to the 
sequencer. Accordingly, even performances that cause 
overflow when factory settings are used can still be recorded 
all the way to the end.

In this manner, by trying out changes in the one-to-one 
connections between the Zones, MIDI Transmit and Receive 
channels, and Parts, you can obtain even more advanced use 
of the instrument. However, you must remain aware at all 
times of the MIDI channel to which each Zone is set and the 
channel each Part is using to receive MIDI messages, lest you 
run into problems such as 

 or 

.

In this manual, the expression 

 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.
