Installing the Wave Expansion Board

The XV-3080 can be further expanded with the installation of up to six optional wave expansion boards (up to two SRX Series boards and four SR­JV80 Series boards). Wave data is stored in these wave expansion boards. Also stored are Patches and Rhythm Sets that use the Wave data from the wave expansion boards, allowing these to be called up directly for use.
Precautions When Installing Wave Expansion Boards
To avoid the risk of damage to internal components that can be caused by static electricity, please carefully observe the following whenever you handle the board.
Before you touch the board, always first grasp a metal object (such as a water pipe), so you are sure that any static electricity you might have been carrying has been discharged.
When handling the board, grasp it only by its edges. Avoid touching any of the electronic components or connectors.
Save the bag in which the board was originally shipped, and put the board back into it whenever you need to store or transport it.
Use a Philips screwdriver that is suitable for the size of the screw (a number 2 screwdriver). If an unsuitable screwdriver is used, the head of the screw may be stripped.
To remove a screw, rotate the screwdriver counter-clockwise. To tighten a screw, rotate the screwdriver clockwise.
When installing Wave Expansion Boards, remove only the specified screws.
Be careful that the screws you remove do not drop into the interior of the XV-3080.
Do not leave the bottom cover in a detached state. Be sure to reattach it after the Wave Expansion Boards have been installed.
Do not touch any of the printed circuit pathways or connection terminals.
Be careful not to cut your hand on the edge of the installation bay.
Never use excessive force when installing a circuit board. If it doesn’t fit
properly on the first attempt, remove the board and try again.
2
When circuit board installation is complete, double-check your work. Wave expansion boards (SR-JV80 Series and SRX Series; sold separately) are
installed after removing the cover at the top of the unit. Insert SRX Series boards in the EXP-E and -F slots, and SR-JV80 Series boards in the EXP-A through -D slots.

What is a Patch?
With the XV-3080, the basic sound component used in a usual performance is referred to as a “Patch.” A single Patch can be created by combining up to four different tones. Although a Patch could consist of only a single tone, using multiple tones allows you to create Patches with more complexity and vividness. Not only can you get fat, rich sounds by layering sounds using the internal Patches already available with the XV-3080 as is, you can also enjoy a high degree of control in creating sounds, for example having different tones sound depending on the range used, or the strength with which the keys are played. Furthermore, the XV-3080’s parameters are arranged in sets for even more effective management of elements used in editing Patches, including the manner in which sounds are output, control of the outputs, and effects processing.
Playing Sounds
What is a Tone?
The tone is the smallest unit of sound handled by the XV-3080. Although a sound could be created using simply one tone, the XV-3080 handles the sounds used for performances in terms of Patches, which are a combination of a number of tones. In other words, tones are the components of sound from which Patches are composed.
What is a Category?
The XV-3080’s sounds are organized into Categories, depending on their characteristics. The XV-3080 features 38 Categories divided into 10 Category Groups.

Switching Modes

In addition to Patch mode, the XV-3080 also features three other modes: Performance mode, Rhythm Set mode, and GM2 mode. Let’s try switching the modes and listen to the sounds in each one.
You can easily switch modes simply by pressing the MODE button (PERFORM/PATCH/RHYTHM/GM) for each mode.
fig.17.e
18
PERFORM (Performance Mode)
This mode is selected when using the XV-3080 as a multitimbral sound module, and when changing performance settings. In Performance mode, the XV-3080 can also be used as a multitimbral sound module under the control of an external MIDI device.
PATCH (Patch Mode)
This mode is selected when using a single Patch in performing on the
Page 19
keyboard or changing Patch settings. In Patch mode, the XV-3080 can also be used as a single-Patch sound module controlled with an external MIDI device.
RHYTHM (Rhythm Set Mode)
This mode is selected when playing Rhythm Sets with a keyboard or when changing Rhythm Set settings. As with Patches, the XV-3080 can also be used as a sound module for playing individual Rhythm Sets when controlled with an external MIDI device. XV-3080 Rhythm Sets can be used in any part in a Performance, and you can also make settings for the multi­effects used for the Rhythm Sets.
GM (General MIDI2 Mode)
General MIDI is a set of recommendations which seeks to provide a way to go beyond the limitations of proprietary designs, and standardize the MIDI capabilities of sound generating devices. Sound generating devices and music files that meet the General MIDI standard bear the General MIDI logo
Playing Sounds
( ). Music files bearing the General MIDI logo can be played back using any General MIDI sound generating unit to produce essentially the same
musical performance.
The upwardly compatible General MIDI 2 ( ) recommendations pick up where the original General MIDI left off, offering enhanced expressive capabilities, and even greater compatibility.
Issues that were not covered by the original General MIDI recommendations, such as how sounds are to be edited, and how effects should be handled, have now been precisely defined. Moreover, the available sounds have been expanded. General MIDI 2 compliant sound generators are capable of reliably playing back music files that carry either the General MIDI or General MIDI 2 logo.
In some cases, the conventional form of General MIDI, which does not include the new enhancements, is referred to as “General MIDI 1” as a way of distinguishing it from General MIDI 2.
What is a Performance?
With Performances, you can combine a total of up to sixteen separate Patches and Rhythm Sets to enjoy ensemble performances featuring rich tones. In other words, using Performances allows you to control sixteen separate tones with a single XV-3080. A sound module that can simultaneously produce multiple sounds is called a multitimbral sound module.
19
Page 20
Playing Sounds
What is a Rhythm Set?
Rhythm sets are groups of a number of different percussion instrument sounds. Percussion sounds are not generally used in performing melodies, so it is immaterial that they cannot be played at different pitches on the keyboard. However, it is important that, as much as possible, a number of percussion instruments perform together. Therefore, the Rhythm Sets are set up so that you can get different sets of percussion sounds by pressing different keys (note numbers).

Selecting Sound Libraries

On the XV-3080, tone data is stored in what are called “SOUND LIBRARY.” There are four separate sound library groups: USER, CARD, PRESET, and EXP.
You can easily select the desired group simply by pressing the SOUND LIBRARY button (USER/CARD/PRESET/EXP) for each group.
fig.18.e
USER (User Memory)
This is the XV-3080’s group of internal rewritable tones. Save the tones that you create to this library.
CARD (Memory Card)
Select this group to use the tones stored on SmartMedia inserted in the card slot.
PRESET (Preset Memory)
This is the XV-3080’s group of internal read-only tones.
EXP (Wave Expansion Board)
Select this group to use the tones stored on wave expansion boards (SRX Series, SR-JV80 Series; sold separately) inserted in the EXP-A through -F slots.
To select an installed wave expansion board, press the [A]–[F] button. The EXP-A through EXP-D slots are for cards from the SR-JV80 Series. The
EXP-E and EXP-F slots are for SRX Series boards.
CARD can be selected only if a formatted memory card is inserted in the MEMORY CARD slot.
It is not possible to select EXP unless a wave expansion board is inserted into the corresponding slot.

Having Different Patches Play In Separate Ranges of the Keyboard (Split)

In a Performance, by selecting the same MIDI receive channel for a number of parts and then changing the pitch range over which each part is to be played, you can thus divide the keyboard into separate ranges and assign a different Patch to each range. This is referred to as a Split.
The split is one application of the layer technique (Playing Multiple Layered Patches). The split works by changing the sounding range of each patches of the layered parts.
Now, try a creating a split using Performance “PR-B:29 Organ/Lead.”

Try Using an External MIDI Device to Switch Patches and Other Settings

Using an External MIDI Device to Switch Patches and Rhythm Sets

The XV-3080 can use received MIDI data to switch Patches (including the Patches in each part of a Performance) and Rhythm Sets.
Here, after setting the send channel for the external MIDI device and the XV­3080’s receive channel (Patch/Rhy Rx Ch) to “1,” try sending a MIDI message from the external MIDI device to switch the XV-3080’s Patch to PR­A:002 Bright Piano.
Executing Factory Reset sets the receive channel in Patch and Rhythm Set modes to “1.”

Press the [PATCH] button, lighting the indicator.
Set the channel used for transmission by the external MIDI device and the XV-3080’s receive channel to the same channel (see p. 21).
* Since the receive channel is always set to “1” when a Factory Reset is executed, it
may not be necessary to set the receive channel.
Send a Bank Select MSB (Control Number 0) value of “87” to the XV-3080.

MFX (Multi-Effects) The MFX (Multi-Effects) group holds 63 different effect types. In addition to
effects constructed with individual effect processors such as distortion and delay, the 63 types also include a number of compound effect types created by combining simpler effects. Furthermore, the multi-effects effect types also include chorus and reverb, although the chorus and reverb described below can be applied as separate effects systems.

Chorus Chorus is an effect that add fatness and breadth to the sound. Reverb Reverb is an effect that adds reverberation resembling that created when
sounds are played in a hall.
