Chapter 1. Overview of the XV-88
When [EDIT] Indicator is Lit
Each mode contains a large number of settable items, and
these items are organized into groups. When [EDIT]
indicator is lit, the function buttons are used to select page
groups. The displays that appear will depend on the current
mode. The groups that can be selected in each mode are
printed on the front panel above the buttons.
About the Cursor Buttons
The Cursor buttons are pressed to switch pages and move
the cursor, and are used for remote control of external
sequencers.

Moving Between Display Pages
The various pages are grouped by function button, and each
group contains several display pages. Use the cursor buttons
to move between these display pages and groups.
Moving Between Pages
An upward-pointing arrow ( ) shown in the display
indicates that one or more pages exist before this page. A
downward-pointing arrow (
) shown in the page indicates
that one or more pages exist after this page. Press to
move to the previous page, or to move to the next page.
Press while holding down [SHIFT] to jump to the first
page. Press while holding down [SHIFT] to jump to the
last page.

Moving Between Groups
In group pages that you select using the function buttons,
you can hold down [SHIFT] and press
to move to the
group of the function button to the left, or hold down
[SHIFT] and press
to move to the group of the function
button to the right.
Whenever you are in any group page, you can move to
another group even if [EDIT] indicator is out. In other words,
this procedure allows you to move to a different group
without having to turn on [EDIT] indicator, and is a faster
and more efficient way to get around.
Moving the Cursor (underline)
When two or more items are shown in a single display page,
move the cursor (underline) to the item whose value you
wish to set. Press
to move the cursor to the left, or to
move it to the right.
fig.01-14
A symbol appearing in the upper right of the display
indicates that there are other items in this page that the
screen has no room to show. Press
to see these items, and
press to return to the previous page.

Remote Control of External Sequencers
When any PLAY page is displayed, then by pressing the
different CURSOR buttons while holding down [SHIFT], you
can have remote start, stop, and other control functions of
external sequencers connected to the XV-88. This is a useful
and extremely convenient function to have in situations such
as when playing ensemble using an external sequencer.
[SHIFT] + (NEXT SONG): Selects the next song.
[SHIFT] + (PREV SONG): Selects the previous song.
[SHIFT] + (RESET): Returns to the beginning of the song.
[SHIFT] + (START/STOP): Starts and stops performance
of the song.
When [SHIFT] is held down while (or ) is
pressed, the song either before (or after) the Song
Number set with the Song Number parameter
(SYSTEM/INFO/TRANSMIT SONG SEL) is selected (p.
178).
Some sequencers cannot be started or stopped without
receiving the MIDI Clock (F8h), and settings on certain
sequencers also cannot be changed. Please use a
sequencer able to perform START/STOP without
requiring reception of the MIDI Clock (F8h). For more
detailed information, refer to the owner’s manual for
your sequencer.
