IMPORTANT NOTES

In addition to the items listed under “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” and “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on pages 2 and 3, please read and observe the following:

Power Supply

• Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any

device that will generate line noise (such as an electric motor or variable lighting system).

• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the

power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

Placement

• This device may interfere with radio and television

reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near

devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

• To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in a wet

area, such as an area exposed to rain or other moisture.

Maintenance

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth

or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any

kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Repairs and Data

• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s

memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should always be backed up Memory Card, or written down on paper (when possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

Additional Precautions

• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the unit’s memory, a memory card.

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in the unit’s memory, a memory card, or another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer) once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.

• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the

connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.

• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during normal operation.

• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).

• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

• The display screens printed in this owner’s manual are based on the factory settings. However, please be aware that in some cases they may differ from the actual factory settings.

Before Using Cards

Using DATA Cards

• Carefully insert the DATA card all the way in—until it is firmly in place.

Memory Backup

• This unit contains a battery which powers the unit’s memory circuits while the main power is off. When this battery becomes weak, the message shown below will appear in the display. Once you see this message, have the battery replaced with a fresh one as soon as possible to avoid the loss of all data in memory. To have the battery replaced, consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

“Battery Low”

• Insert memory cards with the gold contacts facing

downwards.

• Never touch the terminals of the DATA card. Also, avoid getting the terminals dirty.

The XV-5080 is a 32-part multitimbral sound generator that produces up to 128 simultaneous polyphonic voices. It provides ample polyphony, even with Patches containing multiple Tones.

Create Amazingly Expressive Tones

With Patches containing four stereo Tones, as well as four-Tone instruments in Rhythm Sets—you can use up to a total of eight wave types—the XV-5080 takes you the next step beyond Roland’s previous generation of JV-Series modules, providing even more precise control and allowing you to create lusher, more expressive sounds.

Powerful Internal Effects, Including COSM Effects

The internal effects have been completely rethought and improved. The reverb, the XV-5080’s most central effect, incorporates the high-quality SRV-3030 DSP, allowing the instrument itself to give great spatial definition with superior, clear sound.

In addition, the XV-5080 features Multi-effects (MFX) with 90 kinds of effects, including RSS and 3D Delay, Slicer, and Formant Filter. What’s more, the XV-5080 also features a variety of combinations of different effects, such as the Guitar Amp Simulator, made possible with COSM technology; Guitar Multi, which lets you get just the right guitar, bass, and keyboard sounds; Bass Multi, and Keyboard Multi, all of which let you create even more powerful sounds. Furthermore, you can use three different MFX systems when in Performance mode, and use each MFX on any Part you select.

On top of all this, each output is supplied with two-band EQ.

Sample Playback Function Lets You Add Waves

By expanding with SIMM (72-pin, 64/32/16 MB) memory modules, you can add the sample playback function to the XV-

5080. With a CD-ROM drive connected to the SCSI connector, you can then load Roland’s S-700 Series and other CD-ROM libraries. You of course can perform using existing sampled tones just as they are, but you can also synthesize internal Patches into a single Wave. Additionally, since you can also save the wave data of loaded samples to SmartMedia cards, you can easily take pre-existing samples for use in your live performances, even with no CD-ROM drives or hard disks connected.

Digital Out and R-BUS for Complete Compatibility with Digital Systems

The XV-5080’s output systems not only include eight parallel analog outs that can also be used as four stereo pairs, but also S/ P DIF digital outputs (optical and coaxial) and R-BUS digital out as well. Using R-BUS lets you simply output eight analog outputs as eight-channel digital audio. And you can connect the XV-5080 to Roland’s VM-3100Pro or VM-7000 Series with just one cable.

Furthermore, the XV-5080 includes a Word Clock In as a standard feature.

Supports General MIDI system Level 2

The XV-5080 provides a mode compatible with General MIDI System Level 2, the standard format for desktop music (DTM) systems. The upwardly compatible General MIDI 2 standards pick up where the original General MIDI standard left off, offering enhanced expressive capabilities and even greater compatibility. You can play back commercially available General MIDI-compatible song data.

Greater Expansion Possibilities with the New-Format Wave Expansion Boards

The XV-5080 accepts up to four of Roland’s new-format Wave Expansion Boards (SRX Series). In addition, you can add four previous-generation Wave Expansion Boards (SR-JV Series).

All of this provides you unprecedented power in creating sounds from a massive amount of waveform data.

Featuring the Patch Finder and Phrase Preview Functions

The XV-5080 provides a Patch Finder function that allows you to quickly find Patches of a specified type or category.

Press the XV-5080’s [PHRASE PREVIEW] button to preview the selected Patch with a musically appropriate Phrase.

Registering a Patch in the FAVORITE LIST

You can keep the Patches that you like to use all in one place by registering them on the Favorite List. The FAVORITE LIST gives you immediate access to your favorite Patches, whether they are in the XV-5080 itself, on Wave Expansion Boards, or on memory cards. You can register up to 64 Patches in this list.

Selecting a Mode (Patch, Performance, or Rhythm Set)

In addition to Patch mode, the XV-5080 also features three other modes: Performance mode, Rhythm Set mode, and GM2 mode.

You can easily switch modes simply by pressing the MODE button (PERFORM/PATCH/RHYTHM/GM) for each mode.

fig.01-001.e

PERFORM (Performance Mode)

In this mode, the XV-5080 functions as a multi-timbral sound generator, and Performance settings can be modified.

PATCH (Patch Mode)

In this mode, you can play an individual Patch from the keyboard or modify Patch settings.

RHYTHM (Rhythm Set Mode)

This is how you can play a Rhythm Set from the keyboard and modify the Rhythm Set settings. XV-5080 Rhythm Sets can also be used for any Part in a Performance when in Performance mode.

GM (General MIDI2 Mode)

In this mode, the XV-5080 functions as a General MIDI 2compatible sound generator.

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 ( ). 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

Chapter 1 Selecting and Playing a Sound

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.

Patches, Rhythm Sets and Performances can be stored in the following memory locations within each library group.

PATCH RHYTHM PERFORM

You can directly select Tones contained on the card — even without loading the files into the USER memory — by assigning banks (CD-A through CD-H) to the files on the card.

PRESET

The PRESET library group contains the sounds that are permanently stored in the XV-5080’s memory. Performances are found only in PR-A and B. However, you can modify its sounds and save them as new sounds in the USER group.

EXP (Expansion)

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 -H slots. You cannot alter the contents of the EXP group, though you can modify its sounds and save them as new sounds in the USER group. The number of Patches and Rhythm Sets in the EXP group depends on the specific wave expansion boards installed. The EXP group contains no Performances. (Precautions When Installing Wave Expansion Board (Quick Start; p. 3))

* It is not possible to select an EXP Patch unless a wave

expansion board is inserted into the corresponding slot.

* CARD sounds can be selected only if a SmartMedia card is

inserted into the MEMORY CARD slot.

–: None *: Differs by type

Selecting Sound Libraries

On the XV-5080, tone data is stored in what are called “SOUND LIBRARY.” The SOUND LIBRARY is divided into four “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.

Chapter 2 Using the XV-5080 Effects

The XV-5080 contains four independent effects units.

Multi-effects

The Multi-effects offers 90 different effects. In addition to effects consisting of only one effect, such as distortion and delay, the 90 types also include a number of compound effects, which are formed by combining a number of 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. The XV5080 features three Multi-effects systems in Performance mode, with each multi-effect independently controllable.

Chorus

Chorus adds depth and spaciousness to the sound.

Reverb

Reverb adds ambience — such as the sound of a concert hall or auditorium—to sounds.

Equalizer

An equalizer lets you boost or cut specified frequency ranges of a sound to adjust the tone.

* Equalizer is set in System mode (p. 211).

Turning Effects On/Off

You can turn any of the XV-5080’s effect units—Multi-effects, Chorus, Reverb, and EQ—on or off using a single procedure.

1. Press the [EFFECTS ON/OFF] button. The EFFECTS On/Off window will appear.

fig.02-001.e_70

Patch Mode Settings

You can make separate Multi-effects, chorus, and reverb settings to each Four-Tone Patch and Multi-Partial Patch, with the same effects applied to each Tone or Partial. You can control the amount of effect to be applied to each Tone or Partial by adjusting its send level with respect to the Multieffects, Chorus and Reverb.

The display of the setting will be turned on and off.

3. Press the [EFFECTS ON/OFF] button, getting its

indicator light to go out.

You might, for example, want to turn effects off when creating a new Patch so that you can hear what it sounds like without effects. You may also want to turn off the XV-5080’s effects when you wish to use external effect devices instead of the built-in effects.

88 Partials

Preliminarily, the settings for effects involves determining Tone Output Assign for Four-Tone Patches, and Split Key Output Assign for Multi-Partial Patches.

In keeping with the intended usage, choose from the following setting values for Tone Output Assign.

MFX: Selected when the Multi-effects, chorus, and reverb are used.

A-D: Selected when outputting in stereo without use of the Multi-effects. Chorus and reverb can be used.

1-8: Selected when outputting in mono without Multieffects. Chorus and reverb can be used. When this setting is used, chorus and reverb sounds are output in stereo according to the Chorus Output Assign and Reverb Output Assign settings.
