Chapter 1. Overview of the XV-88

Assigning a Name

The XV-88 lets you assign names to Patches, Performances, and Rhythm Sets. The procedure is the same for any type of data.

To assign a name, use / to move the cursor to the location where you wish to input a character. Then use the VALUE dial or [INC/+]/[DEC/-] or the Numeric Keys to input a character.

Available characters/symbols:

space, A–Z, a–z, 0–9, ! " # $ % & ’ ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ]

^ _ ` { }

Using the Numeric Keys

The numeric keys are used to input the numerals printed on each key as well as the characters assigned to each key (see the table below). Each time you press a numeric key, the display will cycle through the numeral and characters printed above the key. To specify a lowercase character, hold down [SHIFT] as you press the numeric key.

Numeric Key	Character
[1]	A B C
[2]	D E F
[3]	G H I
[4]	J K L
[5]	M N O
[6]	P Q R
[7]	S T U
[8]	V W X
[9]	Y Z !
[0]	space

Convenient Functions

While you are holding down [SHIFT], the screen will show three functions that are convenient when entering a name. To use each function, hold down [SHIFT] and press the appropriate function button.

A a: switch between uppercase/lowercase characters

INS: insert a space at the cursor location

DEL: delete the character at the cursor location
