Chapter 7. Adding Effects
This chapter explains how effects are applied in Patch/
Rhythm Set mode or Performance mode.
For information about the application of effects in GM
mode, refer to
“Making Effects Settings in GM Mode
About the Onboard Effects
Effect Types
The XV-88 has the following three onboard effect processors,
and settings can be made independently for each.
Multi-Effects
The Multi-effects are multi-purpose effects that completely
change the sound type by changing the sound itself.
Contained are 63 different effects types; select and use the
type that suits your aims. In addition to effects types
composed of simple effects such as Distortion, Flanger, and
other such effects, you can also set up a wide variety of other
effects, even connecting effects in series or in parallel.
Furthermore, while chorus and reverb can be found among
the Multi-effects types, the following chorus and reverb are
handled with a different system.
In GM mode, you cannot use Multi-effects.
Chorus
Chorus adds depth and spaciousness to the sound. You can
select whether to use this as a chorus effect or a delay effect.
A GM-exclusive Chorus can be used in GM mode.
Reverb
Reverb adds the reverberation characteristics of halls or
auditoriums. Four different types are offered, so you can
select and use the type that suits your purpose.
A GM-exclusive Reverb is used in GM mode.
Turning Effects On/Off
The XV-88’s onboard effects can be turned on/off as a whole.
Turn these settings OFF when you wish to listen to the
unprocessed sound as you create a sound, or when you wish
to use external effects processors instead of the built-in
effects.
• When the XV-88 is put in a status wherein the internal
effects are not in use, then no effects are applied, even
when effects settings are made. In this case, an
x
mark
appears to the right of the settings screen for the effect
set to OFF.

• Effect ON/OFF settings are global XV-88 settings. These
settings cannot be made for each Patch or Performance
individually.
1. Press [MULTI] [CHORUS] [REVERB] to turn the effects
processor on (indicator lighted) or off (indicator
extinguished).
fig.07-02
[MULTI]: Switches the Multi-effects on/off.
[CHORUS]: Switches Chorus on/off.
[REVERB]: Switches Reverb on/off.
Since the Multi-effects cannot be used in GM mode,
nothing happens when [MULTI] is pressed in this mode.
