Roland XV-88 用户手册

The XV-88 contains a large number of functions. In order to 
organize these functions for easy access, they are grouped 
into the following modes. The mode that is selected will 
affect the way in which the sound generator operates, how 
data is shown in the display, and how the function buttons 
work.

Use the Mode buttons to select the mode. The indicator of the 
selected button will light/blink, and the display will change 
according to the selected mode.

Selecting Patch mode, Performance mode, Rhythm Set mode, 
and GM mode will determine sound generator operation. 
One mode always has to be selected.

In this mode, you can play an individual Patch from the 
keyboard or modify Patch settings. If you’re using an 
external MIDI device to control the XV-88 in this mode, it 
will function as a single-patch sound generator.

In this mode, the XV-88 functions as a multi-timbral sound 
generator, and Performance settings can be modified. If 
you’re using an external MIDI device to control the XV-88 in 
this mode, it will function as a multi-timbral sound 
generator.

To modify the settings of a Patch or Rhythm Set that’s 
assigned to a Part, hold down [PERFORM] and press 
[PATCH]. At this time, if a Patch is assigned to the Part, the 
[PERFORM] and [Patch] indicators will light. If a Rhythm Set 
is assigned to the Part, the [PERFORM] and [RHYTHM] 
indicators will light. 

This mode is used for a number of settings, such as those 
determining the way the sound generator produces sounds 
in response to the keyboard when played in a Performance 
and the way MIDI messages are sent, and for the 
Arpeggiator and D Beam Controller functions.

To switch to Zone mode, press [ZONE] while in Performance 
mode.

This is how you can play a Rhythm Set from the keyboard 
and modify the Rhythm Set settings. In this mode, you can 
play percussion instruments (Rhythm Tones) on the 
keyboard. The XV-88 can also be used in this mode as a 
sound module for managing individual Rhythm Sets when 
controlled from an external MIDI device.

This special mode makes the XV-88 function as a GM 
compatible sound generator. You should select this mode 
when you want to play back a GM score (music files created 
for General MIDI sound generator).

To set GM mode, hold down [SHIFT] and press [PERFORM]. 
[PERFORM], [PATCH] and [RHYTHM] indicators will not 
light.

This mode is for determining global XV-88 settings such as 
tuning, display contrast and how MIDI messages are 
received.

Here you can save and transmit settings for the sound 
generator, and make settings related to memory cards.
