Synchronizing The Timing At Which Tones Play To The System Tempo; Using The Xv-88 To Play Live; Changing Multiple Sounds Of An External Midi Device Simultaneously - Roland XV-88 Owner's Manual

Chapter 12. Realizing the Potential of the XV-88
1. On the PATCH PLAY page, select a Patch that uses a
Phrase Loop.
2. Set the Clock Source parameter (PATCH/COMMON/
PATCH TEMPO) to SYSTEM (p. 71).
3. Call up the WAVE page (PATCH/WAVE) (p. 81).
4. Press a TONE SELECT [1]–[4] button, and choose the
Tone that uses Phrase Loops.
The Phrase Loop is the Wave indicated by the Wave
name along with the tempo (BPM) to the right of the
Wave number.
5. Set the Wave Tempo Sync parameter (PATCH/WAVE/
WAVE) to ON (p. 81).
6. Set the Time parameter (PATCH/WAVE/TONE
DELAY) to 0 (p. 83).
If you select a value other than 0, a delay will be applied,
and you will not be able to play the Patch normally.
7. Set the Clock Source parameter (SYSTEM/SETUP/
SYSTEM SETUP) to INT (p. 168).
When the Clock Source parameter is set to MIDI, you can
achieve synchronization with the tempo of an external
MIDI device.
8. Try playing the keyboard while you change the System
Tempo parameter (SYSTEM/SETUP/SYSTEM SETUP)
to various values (p. 169).
The Phrase Loop speed will change in accordance to the
system's tempo clock.
The Phrase Loop will sound with the system's tempo
regardless of which key you press. In this case, the pitch
setting (p. 86) and the FXM setting (p. 81) will be
ignored.
Synchronizing the Timing at Which
Tones Play to the System Tempo
Setting back the time at which a Tone is played is referred to
as Tone Delay. The length of time for this Tone Delay can be
synchronized to a specified tempo or to the System tempo.
Here, let's synchronize the Tone Delay time to a specified
System tempo.
1. Select the Patch PR-D: 073 Cyber Swing on the PATCH
PLAY page.
202
2. Set the Clock Source parameter (PATCH/COMMON/
PATCH TEMPO) to SYSTEM (p. 71).
3. Set the Time parameter (PATCH/WAVE/TONE
DELAY) of Tone 1 to the beat length for the tempo you
are synchronizing (p. 83).
4. Set the Clock Source parameter (SYSTEM/SETUP/
SYSTEM SETUP) to INT (p. 168).
When the Clock Source parameter is set to MIDI, you can
achieve synchronization with the tempo of an external
MIDI device.
5. Try playing the keyboard while you change the System
Tempo parameter (SYSTEM/SETUP/SYSTEM SETUP)
to various values (p. 169).
The Tone Delay time will change in accordance to the
system's tempo clock.

Using the XV-88 to Play Live

Changing Multiple Sounds of an
External MIDI Device
Simultaneously
When a different Performance is selected, the sound
corresponding to the Bank Select number and Program
Change number of the selected Performance will usually be
chosen on the external MIDI device.
With the XV-88, you can set the Bank Select and Program
Change number for each individual Zone so as to match the
Tones of the desired external MIDI device. This way, you can
switch Tones on multiple external MIDI devices all at once
just by switching the Performance.
1. Select the Zone to be used to control the external MIDI
device.
2. Set the receive channel on the external MIDI device to
match the transmit channel for the Zone to be used. Set
the transmit channel of the Zone with the Channel
parameter (ZONE/MIDI/MIDI) (p. 59).
3. Set the Tx parameter (ZONE/MIDI/MIDI) of the Zone to
be used to ON (p. 59).
4. Call up the EXT P.C page (ZONE/EXT CONTROL) (p.
60).
5. Set the Bank Select MSB/LSB parameter to match the
Bank Select of the external MIDI device.
