Roland XV-88 owner manual How to Make the Zone Settings

Chapter 4. Zone Settings

Pressing [ZONE] while in Performance mode switches you to Zone mode. In Zone mode, you can make settings affecting the way the sound module plays sounds in response to Performances played on the keyboard, the way MIDI messages are sent, the Arpeggiator and D Beam functions, and more.

You cannot switch to Zone mode from any mode other than Performance mode.

This section explains the procedures for making Zone settings and describes the functions of the different Zone parameters.

How to Make the Zone Settings

1.Press [PERFORM] to display the PERFORM PLAY page, and select the Performance with Zone settings you want to change (p. 35).

2.Press [ZONE] to make the indicator light.

The [EDIT] indicator lights simultaneously, and the XV- 88 is put into Zone mode. If the [EDIT] indicator is not lit, press [EDIT] to get the indicator to light.

3.Use the function buttons to select a display group.

The indicator for the button of the selected display group

begins blinking.

4.Use or to select a display page.

5.If you have selected a parameter display that can be set independently for each Zone, the number of the Zone selected for editing will be shown in the upper left of the display. To edit a different Zone, press [EDIT] to temporarily turn off the indicator, and use ZONE/PART SELECT [1/9]–[8/16] to select a Zone. When the [1-8/9- 16] indicator is extinguished, Zones 1–8 are selected, and when the [1-8/9-16] indicator is lit, Zones 9–16 are

selected.

6.Use or to move the cursor to the parameter you wish to modify.

7.Use the VALUE dial, [INC/+]/[DEC/-], or the numeric keys to modify the parameter value.

If you’ve made a mistake in setting a parameter value, press [UNDO/COMPARE] to restore the value to what it was.

8.If you wish to move to another display group, press [EDIT] to make the indicator light, and use the function buttons.

You can also move to another display group by holding

down [SHIFT] and using or . Since this can be done even when the [EDIT] indicator is dark, it is a faster way to get around because you don’t have to turn on the [EDIT] indicator each time.

9.Repeat steps 3–8 to make settings for the Zone.

10.When you finish making settings, press [EXIT] or [PERFORM] to return to the PERFORM PLAY page. An asterisk * appears at the left of the Performance group on the display. This shows Performance settings

have been modified.

Zone settings can be saved individually for each Performance, as part of the Performance settings.

If you select another Performance in the group with an asterisk *, the modified Zone settings will be lost. To keep these modified settings, perform the save operation (p. 164).
