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

HOLD PEDAL

Sets the function of the pedal connected to the HOLD PEDAL jack.

Continuous (Continuous Switch)

This setting determines whether the HOLD PEDAL jack will provide support for half-pedaling (ON), or not (OFF). When this is set to support use of half-pedaling techniques, you can then connect an optional expression pedal (EV-5, etc.), and employ pedal work to achieve even finer control in performances in which piano tones are used.

Output (Pedal Output)

Selects the sound generator(s) (the internal sound generator and/or external sound generators connected to MIDI OUT connector) to be controlled by the pedal.

OFF: Neither will be controlled.

INT: Only the internal sound generator will be controlled.

MIDI: Only external sound generators will be controlled.

BOTH: Both the internal sound generator and external sound generators will be controlled.

Polarity (Pedal Polarity)

Select the polarity of the pedal. On some pedals, the electrical signal output by the pedal when it is pressed or released is the opposite of other pedals. If your pedal has an effect opposite of what you expect, set this parameter to REVERSE. If you are using a Roland pedal (that has no polarity switch), set this parameter to STANDARD.

CONTROL PEDAL 1, 2

This specifies the function of each pedal connected to the CTL 1, CTL 2 PEDAL jacks.

Assign (Pedal 1, 2 Assign)

Specifies the function controlled by the pedal. CC01–31,33–95: Controller numbers 1–31, 33–95

PITCH BEND: Pitch Bend

AFTERTOUCH: Aftertouch

OCT UP: Each pedal press raises the key range in octave steps (up to 3 octaves higher).

OCT DOWN: Each pedal press lowers the key range in octave steps (up to 3 octaves lower).

START/STOP: Starts/Stops the external sequencer.

TAP TEMPO: Tap tempo (a tempo specified by the interval at which you press the pedal).

PROG UP: Every press of the pedal selects the next Performance number, Patch number, or Rhythm Set number. PROG DOWN: Every press of the pedal selects the previous Performance number, Patch number, or Rhythm Set number.

Output (Pedal 1, 2 Output)

Selects the sound generator(s) (the internal sound generator and/or external sound generators connected to MIDI OUT connector) which will be controlled by the pedals.

OFF: Neither will be controlled.

INT: Only the internal sound generator will be controlled.

MIDI: Only external sound generators will be controlled.

BOTH: Both the internal sound generator and external sound generators will be controlled.

Polarity (Pedal 1, 2 Polarity)

Selects the polarity of the pedal. On some pedals, the electrical signal output by the pedal when it is pressed or released is the opposite of other pedals. If your pedal has an effect opposite of what you expect, set this parameter to REVERSE. If you are using a Roland pedal (that has no polarity switch), set this parameter to STANDARD.

C1–C4 ASSIGN (C1–C4 Slider Assign)

These parameters set the functions controlled by the C1–C4 sliders.

Assign (C1–C4 Slider Assign)

Specifies the function controlled by each slider. CC01–31,33–95: Controller numbers 1–31, 33–95
