Loading a File from Memory Card into the XV-88 (LOAD)

This function loads data files from memory card into the XV- 88’s memory. A data file contains a set of data for Performances, Patches, Rhythm Sets, System, and Favorite List settings.

If the XV-88 internal memory already contains important data that you have created, this operation will cause all of this data to be lost. If you wish to keep the data, you must save it on a memory card (p. 190) or on an external MIDI device (p. 185).

If you wish to load only a specific portion of the data file, refer to “Transmitting Data to the XV-88”(p. 186).

Saving Data to Memory Card (SAVE)

The Performances, Patches, Rhythm Sets, System, and Favorite List settings in internal memory can be saved as a single file onto a memory card.

To overwrite a previously saved file on the memory card, select its file number.

Data files contain an entire set of parameter settings for the sound generator. It is not possible to save individual Patches or Performances to a memory card.

The number of files that can be saved on a card will depend on the memory capacity of the card itself.

For more detailed information and instructions for this procedure, refer to “Saving a Group of Tones to a Memory Card” (p. 167).
