Chapter 3. Creating Performances
With the XV-88, you have total control over a wide variety of
settings. Each item that can be set is known as a parameter.
When you change the values of parameters, you are doing
what is referred to as Editing. This chapter explains the
procedures used in creating Performances, and the functions
of the Performance parameters.
How a Performance Is
Organized
A Performance is a collective set of assignments of the
sixteen different Patches and Rhythm Sets. Since a
Performance can simultaneously handle 16 different sounds,
it allows you to play multiple Patches simultaneously (layer)
or to play different Patches in different areas of the keyboard
(split), and to create ensembles.

How to Make the
Performance Settings
Start with an existing Performance and edit it to create a new
Performance. But before you do, try to envision what the
entire Performance will sound like and decide which Patch
or Rhythm Set to assign to each of 16 Parts.
1. Press [PERFORM] to access the PERFORM PLAY page,
and select the Performance whose settings you wish to
modify (p. 35).
If you want to create all your Performances from the
ground up, rather than the Performances that have
already been prepared, carry out the Initialize operation
(p. 185).
2. Press [EDIT] to make the indicator light.
3. Use the function buttons to select a display group.
The indicator for the button of the selected display group
begins blinking.

4. Use or to select a display page.
5. If you have selected a parameter display that can be set
independently for each Part, the number of the Part
selected for editing will be shown in the upper left of the
display. To edit a different Part, press [EDIT] to
temporarily turn off the indicator, and use ZONE/PART
SELECT [1/9]–[8/16] to select a Part. When the [1-8/9-
16] indicator is extinguished, Parts 1–8 are selected, and
when the [1-8/9-16] indicator is lit, Parts 9–16 are
selected.

6. Use or to move the cursor to the parameter you
wish to modify.
7. Use the VALUE dial, [INC/+]/[DEC/-], or the numeric
keys to modify the parameter value.
If you’ve made a mistake in setting a parameter value, or
you have second thoughts about the changes, press
[UNDO/COMPARE] to restore the value to what it was.
8. If you wish to move to another display group, press
[EDIT] to make the indicator light, and use the function
buttons.
You can also move to another display group by holding
down [SHIFT] and using or . Since this can be
done even when the [EDIT] indicator is dark, it is a faster
way to get around because you don’t have to turn on the
[EDIT] indicator each time.
9. Repeat steps 3–8 to complete a Performance.
