Chapter 5. Creating Patches
Copying the Settings of Another
Tone (Tone Copy)
Tone settings from any desired Patch can be copied to any
desired Tone of the currently selected Patch. This function
can help you save time.
1. Make sure that a Patch is selected.
2. Press [UTILITY], getting its indicator to start blinking.
3. Press the numeric key [2], then or to call up the
PATCH TONE CPY page.
fig.10-13.e
4. Press the cursor buttons to move the cursor to the
parameter you wish to set.
5. Either rotate the VALUE dial or press [INC/+]/[DEC/-]
to set the value.
• To specify the currently selected Patch as the copy
source, set Source to TEMP.
• When the cursor is located at Source, you can also use
[USER], [PRESET], and [A]–[F] to select a Patch group,
and then use numeric keys to specify the Patch number.
• By using TONE SWITCH [1]–[4], you can also select the
copy source Tone. By using TONE SELECT [1]–[4], you
can select the copy destination Tone.
6. Press [ENTER] to execute the Copy operation.
When the Copy operation is executed, an * symbol will
be displayed in front of the copy-destination Tone.
7. Press [UTILITY] to return to the previous page.
Cautions When Selecting a
Waveform
The sounds of the XV-88 are based on complex PCM
waveforms, and if you attempt to make settings that are
contrary to the type of the original waveform, the results will
not be as you expect.
The XV-88’s internal waveforms fall into the following two
groups.
One-shot: These waveforms contain sounds that have short
decays. A one-shot waveform records the initial rise and fall
of the sound. Some of the XV-88’s one-shot waveforms are
sounds that are complete in themselves, such as percussive
instrument sounds. The XV-88 also contains many other one-
shot waveforms that are elements of other sounds. These
include attack components such as piano-hammer sounds
and guitar fret noises.
Looped: These waveforms include sounds with long decays
as well as sustained sounds. Loop waveforms repeatedly
play back (loop) the portion of the waveform after the sound
has reached a relatively steady state. The XV-88’s looped
waveforms also include components of other sounds, such as
piano-string resonant vibrations and the hollow sounds of
brass instruments.
The following diagram shows an example of sound (electric
organ) that combines one-shot and looped waveforms.
