Roland XV-88 Owner's Manual page 215

Is the rear panel COMPUTER switch set to the
correct position?
• If you are using the XV-88 while connected to a
computer, make settings as appropriate for the
connection method, the type of computer, and the
settings of the driver (p. 208).
* Before changing the setting of the Computer switch, you must
first turn off the power on the XV-88.
Song Data Does Not Play Back
Correctly
When playing back a GM score, is the sound
generator set to GM mode?
• Switch to GM mode (p. 192).
Has the Receive General MIDI/General MIDI 2
System On Switch been turned ON?
• Set the Rx GM On/Rx GM2 On parameter (SYSTEM/
MIDI/SYSTEM MIDI) to ON (p. 171).
Are you playing back from the middle of the
song?
• The beginning of a GM score song contains a General
MIDI/General MIDI 2 System On message. In some
cases, a GM Score cannot be played back correctly unless
this message is received.
Are you playing back GS format song data?
When the XV-88 receives a GS Reset message, the XV-88 is
enabled for the GS format. This permits playback of music
data bearing the GS logo (GS music data). However, data
created exclusively for the Sound Canvas Series may not play
back properly on the XV-88.
A Specific Part Does Not Sound
Has the volume level of the part been
lowered?
Adjust the Level parameter (PERFORM/PART/SETTING) to
raise the volume of the part that is not heard (p. 53).
Is the instrument set to receive MIDI
messages?
• Set the Rx Sw parameter (PERFORM/MIDI/MIDI) to
ON (p. 52).
Does the MIDI Receive channel of the Part
match the MIDI Transmit channel of the
connected MIDI device?
• Set the Channel parameter (PERFORM/MIDI/MIDI) to
specify the MIDI receive channel of the Part (p. 52).

Device
Is the instrument set to transmit MIDI
messages?

MIDI/MIDI) to ON (p. 59).
Does the MIDI transmit channel for the XV-
88's keyboard controller section match the
MIDI receive channel for the connected MIDI

(SYSTEM/MIDI/PATCH MIDI) (p. 170).

with the Channel parameter (Zone/MIDI/MIDI) (p. 59).
