Troubleshooting

Sound Is Distorted

Is an effect which distorts the sound being applied? (p.

117)

• If the sound is distorted for specific Patches or parts, lower

the volume level of those Patches or Parts (p. 70, p. 53).

• If all sounds are distorted, use the VOLUME slider to

lower the volume level.

Pitch Is Incorrect

Is the tuning of the XV-88 incorrect?

• Check the Master parameter (SYSTEM/TUNE/SYSTEM

TUNE) setting (p. 173).

Has the pitch been changed by pedal
operations or by Pitch Bend messages
received from an external MIDI device?

Use the Panic function to reset the original values (p. 48).

• If you are in Performance mode, access the INFO display

(PERFORM/INFO) to check the settings of the Pitch
Bend Message parameter (Bnd), and make the
appropriate settings (p. 56).

Have the Coarse Tune or Fine Tune
parameters been set for specific Parts?

• Check the Coarse parameter and Fine parameter

(PERFORM/PART/PITCH) settings (p. 55).

Effects Do Not Apply

Are [MULTI], [CHORUS], and [REVERB] turned
off?

Press each button, getting the indicator to light (p. 105).

Are the various effect settings correct?

• If the send levels to each effect are at 0, effects are not

applied. Check each setting (p. 110, p. 113, p. 116, p. 194).

• Even with send levels to each effect set at 0, effects are

not applied if the Multi-effects Dry Send Level (p. 116),
the Chorus Level (p. 158), or the Reverb Level (p. 160) is
set to 0. Check each setting.

• If Output Assign is set to other than MFX, the Multi-

effects sound will not be output (p. 108, p. 109, p. 113).

• If Output Assign is set to PATCH for each Part of the

Performance, the sound will be output according to the
Output Assign settings of the Patch (for each Tone)
which is assigned to those Parts (p. 113). This means that
if Output Assign for the Patch (each Tone) is set to other
than MFX, the Multi-effects sound will not be output (p.
109).

Sounds Are Interrupted

If you attempt to play more than 128 voices at
once, sounds will be interrupted (p. 23).

Reduce the number of Tones that you are using (p. 32, p.

81).

• Increase the Voice Reserve setting for Parts that must not

drop out (p. 53).

When You Play the Keyboard,
Notes Do Not Stop

Is the pedal polarity of the Hold Pedal
reversed?

• Check the Polarity parameter (SYSTEM/CONTROL/

HOLD PEDAL) setting (p. 172).

Exclusive Messages Are Not
Received

Is the instrument set to receive Exclusive
messages?

• Set the Rx Sys.Excl parameter (SYSTEM/MIDI/SYSTEM

MIDI) to ON (p. 171).

Does the Device ID number of the transmitting
device match the Device ID number of the XV-
88?

• Check the Device ID parameter (SYSTEM/MIDI/

SYSTEM MIDI) (p. 171).

* If you wish to rewrite the User memory settings by System

Exclusive messages, turn Exclusive Protect off (p. 188).

The XV-88 Does Not Transmit
MIDI Data

Is the rear panel COMPUTER switch set to the
correct position?

• If you wish to transmit this unit data via the

COMPUTER connector, set the COMPUTER switch to
Mac or PC, depending on the computer or software you
are using (p. 208).

• When the COMPUTER switch is set to MIDI, the XV-88

will not transmit data from the COMPUTER connector.
In this case, data will be transmitted from the MIDI OUT
connector.
