Saving A Group Of Tones To A Memory Card - Roland XV-88 Owner's Manual

Saving a Group of Tones to
a Memory Card
The Performances, Patches, Rhythm Sets, System and
Favorite List settings in internal memory can be saved as a
single file onto a memory card.
• Data files contain an entire set of parameter settings for
the sound generator. It is not possible to save individual
Patches or Performances to a memory card.
• In order to use a memory card, you must first turn off
the power, and then insert a memory card into the
MEMORY CARD slot as follows.

5. When saving to a new memory card, the data is saved to
File Number: 01, Bank: A. Afterwards, up to File
Number: 08, the next saved file is assigned automatically
to the subsequent Bank B–H.
To overwrite a previously existing file, select the file
number of that file.
The Banks A–H assigned here correspond to the Card
Group Banks A–H, but in this case you can select
Performances, Patches, and Rhythm Sets directly, rather
than having to use the Load operation to read files on
memory cards into the XV-88 (p. 190).
To change and delete assignments to the Banks A–H, use
the CARD INFO page (p. 190).
6. When necessary, change the file name. You can assign
the file a name of up to eight characters.
For details on assigning names, refer to "Assigning a
Name" (p. 28).
7. Press [ENTER] to execute the save operation.
The number of files that can be saved on a card will
depend on the memory capacity of the card itself.
If you attempt to save to a memory card that still has the
write protect seal affixed to it, the message "Memory
Card Write Protected" appears in the display. First turn
off the XV-88's power, then after peeling off the write
protect seal, try saving the data once more.
