Chapter 12. Realizing the Potential of the XV-88
This section discusses various techniques for effectively
using the XV-88 for specific applications. The more you use
the XV-88, the faster you’ll appreciate the real power of this
unit.
Techniques for Using Patches
Reinforcing Filter Characteristics
If you want to reinforce filter characteristics, set Structure
Type to 2, and series-connect the TVFs of Tones 1 and 2. This
example shows how to boost the effectiveness of the filter for
the Patch PR-C: 014 MKS-80 Brass.
1. Select the Patch PR-C: 014 MKS-80 Brass on the
PATCH PLAY page.
2. Press [FILTER/ENV], getting its indicator to light.
3. Move the CUTOFF and RESONANCE sliders while you
play notes and hear how sound changes.
4. Set the Type parameter (PATCH/COMMON/STRUCT)
to 2 (p. 73).
5. Again, move the CUTOFF and RESONANCE sliders and
hear how the sound changes.
Notice the effectiveness of the filter has changed.
If the result is difficult to hear, turn off each effect unit
(Multi-effects, Chorus, Reverb) (p. 105).
Using the Slider to Change the
Pan in Realtime
You can assign the C1–C4 sliders to a variety of the functions
to change sounds in realtime. In this example, the pan (stereo
location) will change by moving the C1 slider up or down.
At the factory default settings, the C1 through C4 sliders
are assigned to the functions described below.
C1 slider: AFTERTOUCH
C2 slider: BREATH
C3 slider: PORTA TIME (Portamento time)
C4 slider: MODULATION
1. Select a Patch on the PATCH PLAY page.
2. Press [CONTROLLER], getting the indicator to light.
3. Set the Assign parameter (SYSTEM/CONTROL/C1
ASSIGN) to CC10:PANPOT (p. 172).
If you hold down [CONTROLLER] and move the C1
slider in the PATCH PLAY page, you can go to the C1
ASSIGN page directly. There you can make settings for
the Assign parameter.
4. Move the C1 slider while you play the keyboard.
You’ll notice that sound will pan right and left.
If the result is difficult to hear, turn off each effect unit
(Multi-effects, Chorus, Reverb) (p. 105).
Using a Pedal Switch to Modify
the Speed of the Rotary Effect
The function that allows you use MIDI messages to make
these changes in realtime to the Multi-effects parameters is
called the Multi-effects Controller (p. 115). Here, using an
effects controller, try using a pedal switch to switch the
speed of the rotary effect.
1. Connect an optional pedal switch (DP-2, DP-6, etc.) to the
CTL 1 PEDAL jack.
2. Select the Patch PR-A: 054 Rocker Spin on the PATCH
PLAY page.
This Patch uses ROTARY as the Multi-effects type.
3. Set the Assign parameter (SYSTEM/CONTROL/
CONTROL PEDAL 1) to CC04:FOOT TYPE (p. 172).
4. Call up the PATCH MFX CTRL page (PATCH/
EFFECTS), then set the parameters as follows (p. 115).
• Source: FOOT TYPE
• Destination: SPEED
• Sens: +63
5. Press the pedal switch while you play the keyboard.
This will speed up the rotary effect. Releasing the pedal
switch will slow down the rotary effect.
