Modifying a Value

To modify a value, use the VALUE dial, [INC/+]/[DEC/-] or [0]–[9] (numeric keys).

Each parameter has a specific range, so you cannot set any value smaller than the minimum value or greater than the maximum value.

VALUE Dial

Rotating the VALUE dial clockwise increases the value, counterclockwise decreases the value. Holding down [SHIFT] as you move the VALUE dial increases value increments so you can make large value changes faster.

[INC/+] and [DEC/-]

Pressing [INC/+] increases the value, and [DEC/-] decreases it. Keep the button pressed for continuous adjustment. For faster value increases, keep [INC/+] pressed down and press [DEC/-]. For decreasing value faster, keep [DEC/-] pressed down and press [INC/+].

If you press [INC/+] or [DEC/-] while holding down [SHIFT], the value increments will get bigger.

[0]–[9] (Numeric Keys)

[0]–[9] (Numeric Keys) lets you directly specify a numerical value. When you enter the number, the value will blink. This indicates that the value has not yet been finalized. To finalize the value press the ENTER button. To reverse the sign of the number (+/-), hold down [SHIFT] and press [0].

Some parameters do not require you to press [ENTER] to finalize the value.

Chapter 1. Overview of the XV-88

< Example 1: To enter a value of 38 >

Press [3] → press [8] → press [ENTER]

< Example 2: To enter a value of -60 >

While holding down [SHIFT] press [0] → press [6]

→press [0] → press [ENTER]

You can switch from a positive to negative numerical

value anytime before you press [ENTER].

Restoring a Previous Value (Undo)

If, after you change a value you decide that you want to go back to its original value (before you made the change), press [UNDO/COMPARE]. You can also put your change back in again by pressing the button once more. The Undo function can be used when making changes to settings in the sound generator section. This is convenient when you want to undo changes or when you want to compare the sound before and after a change is made.
