Roland XV-88 owner manual Making Settings for Each Part Part, Velo CRV Velocity Curve, Patch

VELO CRV (Velocity Curve)

Velocity Curve

Velocity Curve selects for each MIDI channel one of the four following Velocity Curve types that best matches the touch of the connected MIDI keyboard. Set this to OFF if you are using the MIDI keyboard’s own velocity curve.

1 2 3 4

Phase Lock (Phase Lock Switch)

Set Phase Lock to ON when you want to suppress discrepancies in timing of Parts played on the same MIDI channel, or to OFF when you want to leave the expression timing unchanged.

When the Phase Lock parameter is set to ON, Parts on the same MIDI channel are put in a condition in which their timing is matched, enabling them to be played at the same time. Accordingly, a certain amount of time may elapse between reception of the Note messages and playing of the sounds. Turn this setting to ON only as needed.
