number of Performance, Patch, or Rhythm Set.
Controlling an External MIDI
Sequencer with the D Beam
Controller

placing your hand above the D Beam controller.
1. Use a MIDI cable to connect the XV-88's MIDI OUT
connector to the MIDI IN connector of the external MIDI
sequencer.
2. Set the D Beam Controller's Assign parameter setting to
100:START/STOP.
In Patch/Rhythm Set Mode
