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

System Tempo

System Tempo sets the tempo value when the System Tempo Clock is set to the internal clock (INT).

When Clock Source (System Clock Source) is set to MIDI, the tempo will synchronize to the clock messages received from an external MIDI device, so this setting is disabled.

Mix/Parallel

Specifies how the sound of the entire XV-88 will be output. MIX: Set this to have the collective output of all sounds output from the OUTPUT A (MIX) jacks. When you want to check the final overall sound being output, set to MIX.

Sounds which are set in the respective Output Assign to be output from the INDIVIDUAL 3 jack are output from the left OUTPUT A (MIX) jack; sounds which are set to be output from the INDIVIDUAL 4 jack are output from the right OUTPUT A (MIX) jack.

Sounds output from the PHONES jack are the same as those output from the OUTPUT A (MIX) jacks. Therefore, any sounds set with Output Assign to be output from the OUTPUT B jacks is not output from the PHONES jack. Be sure to have any sound you want to hear through the headphones set to MIX.

PARALLEL: Output according to each Output Assign

settings.

Patch Remain (Patch Remain Switch)

Specifies whether currently sounding notes will continue sounding when another Patch or Rhythm Set is selected (ON), or not (OFF).

In addition, when ON is selected, the Volume and Pan data, and the Key Mode and other settings received via MIDI (CC 5, 7, 10, 65, 68, 71–74, RPN 0, 1, 2, MONO ON, POLY ON), and the sound character and volume changes created using the Palette Sliders are passed on.

Effects settings change as soon as you switch to a new Patch or Rhythm Set, without being influenced by the Patch Remain setting. Because of this, certain effects settings can cause notes that were until then sounding to no longer be heard, even though Patch Remain has been set to on.

MIDI Settings (MIDI)

These parameters determine the MIDI channel settings, and how exclusive messages are handled.

The first display of the MIDI group will be different depending on the mode you were in when you pressed [SYSTEM] (Performance mode, Patch/Rhythm Set mode, or GM mode).

PERFORM MIDI (Performance MIDI)

Make MIDI settings for Performance mode. To make these settings, press [SYSTEM] when you are in Performance mode, and then press [MIDI] located in the row of function buttons.

Control Channel

(Performance Control Channel)

Performance Control Channel selects the MIDI receive channel used during switching of Performances when MIDI messages (Program Change/Bank Select) are sent from an external MIDI device. Set this to OFF if Performances are not to be switched from an external MIDI device.

For more details, refer to “Selecting XV-88 Sounds from an External MIDI Device” (p. 206).

If the Control Channel parameter settings overlap with a Part’s MIDI receive channel, switching of the Performance is given priority.

Local (Local Switch)

The Local Switch determines whether the internal sound generator is disconnected (OFF) from the keyboard controller section (keyboard, pitch bend/modulation lever, sliders, D Beam controller, pedal, and so on); or not disconnected (ON). Normally this is left ON, but if you wish to use the XV-88’s keyboard and controllers to control only external sound generators, set it to OFF.

When a Layer Performance is selected, if you want the keyboard controller section to be disconnected only from a specific Part or Parts, use the Local parameter (ZONE/ MIDI/MIDI) (p. 60).
