Chapter 2. Playing
Using Phrase Preview to Play
Patches
The XV-88 allows you to preview Patches by hearing a
phrase appropriate for each type of Patch.
1. Select a Patch (p. 29).
2. Press and hold [PHRASE PREVIEW].
• In Performance mode, only the Patches of the currently
selected Part (current Part) will sound. In Rhythm Set
mode, a drum phrase will sound.
• Patches of the USER group or from an optional Wave
Expansion Board (SR-JV80 Series and SRX Series) may
not sound at the appropriate pitch range. If this occurs,
press [+OCT] or [-OCT] to select the desired pitch range
(Octave Shift p. 47).
• If the pitch range of a Phrase is wider than the range of
the Tones within a Patch (p. 73), or wider than the range
of a Part within a Performance (p. 51), any notes in the
Phrase that fall outside that range will not be heard.
3. Release your finger from [PHRASE PREVIEW], and the
phrase will stop playing.
4. To change the way in which the phrase is played, press
[SYSTEM] to make the indicator light. Then press the
[PREVIEW] function button, and press or to
access the SYSTEM PREVIEW page.

The Patch Finder function uses this setting.
Making a Patch Sound Thick or
Thin (Turning a Tone On/Off)
Since a Patch is a combination of up to four Tones, you can
switch unwanted (Tones out of the four) off and get just the
sound of a specific Tone.
1. Make sure that the PATCH PLAY page is displayed.
2. Make sure that [EDIT] indicator is extinguished. If it is
lit, press [EDIT].
At this time, the on/off setting of each Tone in the
displayed Patch will be shown by the indicators of
TONE SWITCH [1]–[4]. Lit is on, and dark is off.
The PATCH PLAY page indicates the Tones that are on
as follows. Tones that are off are shown as -.

3. Use TONE SWITCH [1]–[4] to switch Tones on/off.
This setting is linked with the Switch parameter
(PATCH/WAVE/WAVE). If you want just one or two
Tones to sound in a Patch, turn the others off and store
that setting on a Patch. This cuts nonessential use of the
XV-88’s simultaneous voices.
