Roland XV-88 How to Make the System Function Settings, Functions of System Parameters, 168

Chapter 9. Getting More Familiar with the XV-88 (System Functions)

Functions related to the XV-88’s overall operating environment, including the display contrast, tuning, the way MIDI messages are received, and so on, are called System functions. This section explains how to make settings for the System functions and describes the functions of the different System parameters.

How to Make the System Function Settings

1.Press [SYSTEM] to make the indicator light.

The [EDIT] indicator lights simultaneously, and the XV- 88 is put into System mode.

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

The indicator for the button of the selected display group

begins blinking.

3.Use or to select a display page.

4.Use or to move the cursor to the parameter you wish to modify.

5.Use the VALUE dial, [INC/+]/[DEC/-], or the numeric keys to modify the parameter value.

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

6.Repeat steps 2–5 to make the settings for the System function.

7.When you finish making settings, press [EXIT] or [SYSTEM] to return to the previous page.

System function settings are saved the instant a change is made in any of the parameter values. Therefore, no changes to the settings are lost, even when the power is turned off, and no other save procedures are necessary.

DEFAULT: The XV-88 will be ready to play Patch “USER:001.”

Master Level

Adjusts the volume of the entire XV-88.

Clock Source (System Clock Source)

The LFO cycle, Multi-effects changes, Phrase Loop, and Tone Delay time can be synchronized to a clock (tempo). When synchronizing these to the System’s Tempo Clock, either synchronize to the internal clock (INT) or to an external clock (MIDI).

For details on using clock (tempo), refer to (p. 200).
