The XV-88’s Arpeggiator lets you produce an arpeggio (broken chord) simply by playing a chord. In addition to normal arpeggios, you can also accurately simulate rhythm guitar or strumming techniques depending on the Arpeggiator settings.

    7. Press [UTILITY] to return to the previous page. Cautions When Selecting a Waveform The sounds of the XV-88 are based on complex PCM waveforms, and if you attempt to make settings that are contrary to the type of the original waveform, the results will not be as you expect.
  • Page 69: Functions Of Patch Parameters

    Cautions When Using a One-shot Waveform It is not possible to use the envelope to modify a one-shot waveform to create a decay that is longer than the original waveform, or to turn it into a sustaining sound. If you were to program such an envelope, you would be attempting to shape a portion of the sound that simply doesn’t exist, and the envelope would have no effect.

  • Page 73 L.Fade (Velocity Fade Width Lower) U.Fade (Velocity Fade Width Upper) L.Fade and U.Fade set the range within which the volume gradually fades as the velocity approaches the limits of the Velocity Range as set by the Lower and Upper parameters. Use this setting when, for example, you want to have adjacent Tones in Split mode switched smoothly (Velocity Crossfade).
  • Page 74 Chapter 5. Creating Patches fig.05-23 TYPE 4 TONE 1 (3) TONE 2 (4) This type applies a booster to distort the waveform, and then combines the two filters. The TVA for Tone 1 (or 3) controls the volume balance between the two Tones and adjusts booster level.
  • Page 75: Setting Effects For A Patch (Effects)

    Booster (Booster Gain) When a Structure Type of TYPE 3 or TYPE 4 is selected, you can adjust the depth of the booster. The booster increases the input signal in order to distort the sound. This creates the distortion effect frequently used with electric guitars. Higher settings will produce more distortion.
  • Page 76: Using Controllers To Change How Sounds Are Played (Control)

    Chapter 5. Creating Patches Using Controllers to Change How Sounds Are Played (CONTROL) The parameters in this group determine how various controllers will affect the Patch and its Tones. PATCH KEY MODE (Patch Key Assign Mode) fig.05-33 Assign (Key Assign) Specifies whether the Patch will play polyphonically (POLY) or monophonically (MONO).
  • Page 77 • Generally, pitch bend messages control the pitch of the currently sounding note, expression messages control the volume. In addition to this, the XV-88 allows these MIDI messages to be used to control Tone settings or Multi-effects settings as well (p. 78, p. 115). If you are using this capability, turn reception of these MIDI messages OFF.
