• Before using this unit, make sure to read the instructions below, and the Owner’s Manual.

..........................................................................................................

• Do not open or perform any internal modifications on the unit. (The only exception would be where this manual provides specific instructions which should be followed in order to put in place user-installable options; see Quick Start p. 3.)

..........................................................................................................

• When using the unit with a rack or stand recommended by Roland, the rack or stand must be carefully placed so it is level and sure to remain stable. If not using a rack or stand, you still need to make sure that any location you choose for placing the unit provides a level surface that will properly support the unit, and keep it from wobbling.

..........................................................................................................

• Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord, nor place heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage the cord, producing severed elements and short circuits. Damaged cords are fire and shock hazards!

..........................................................................................................

• In households with small children, an adult should provide supervision until the child is capable of following all the rules essential for the safe operation of the unit.

..........................................................................................................

• Protect the unit from strong impact.

(Do not drop it!)

..........................................................................................................

• Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to share an outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices. Be especially careful when using extension cords—the total power used by all devices you have connected to the extension cord’s outlet must never exceed the power rating (watts/amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive loads can cause the insulation on the cord to heat up and eventually melt through.

..........................................................................................................

• Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the "Information" page.

..........................................................................................................

• Always turn the unit off and unplug the power cord before attempting installation of the circuit board (SRX series, SR-JV80 series; Quick Start p.

11).

..........................................................................................................

• Always grasp only the plug on the power-supply cord when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.

..........................................................................................................

• Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming entangled. Also, all cords and cables should be placed so they are out of the reach of children.

..........................................................................................................

• Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on the unit.

..........................................................................................................

• Never handle the power cord or its plugs with wet hands when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.

..........................................................................................................

• Before moving the unit, disconnect the power plug from the outlet, and pull out all cords from external devices.

..........................................................................................................

• Before cleaning the unit, turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the outlet .

..........................................................................................................

• Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning in your area, pull the plug on the power cord out of the outlet.

..........................................................................................................

• Install only the specified circuit board(s) (SRX series, SR-JV80 series). Remove only the specified screws (Quick Start p. 3).

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 Power Supply: Use of

Batteries

• 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.

• 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.

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.

Before Using Cards

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.

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”

Using DATA Cards

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

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

Main Features

■ 128-Voice Polyphony and 16-Part Multitimbrality

The XV-3080 is a 16-part multitimbral sound generator that produces up to 128 simultaneous polyphonic voices. It provides ample polyphony, even with Patches containing multiple Tones.

■ High-Performance Built-In Effects

Advanced DSP (Digital Signal Processor) technology provides a wide array of studio-quality effects. The XV-3080 offers three internal effect units: Multi-Effects, featuring 63 different effect types, Chorus and Reverb.

■ 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-3080 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.

■ Supports General MIDI system Level 2

The XV-3080 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 MIDIcompatible song data (p. 141).

■ Greater Expansion Possibilities with the New-Format Wave Expansion Boards

The XV-3080 accepts up to two of Roland's new-format Wave Expansion Boards (SRX Series, sold separately). In addition, you can add four previous-generation Wave Expansion Boards (SR-JV Series, sold separately). (Quick Start p. 2)

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-3080 provides a Patch Finder function that allows you to quickly find Patches of a specified type or category. (Patch Finder function p. 16)

Press the XV-3080's [PHRASE PREVIEW] button to preview the selected Patch with a musically appropriate Phrase. (Phrase Preview function p. 13)

■ Registering a Patch in the FAVORITE LIST

You can bring together your favorite and most frequently used Patches in one place by registering them in the FAVORITE LIST. The FAVORITE LIST gives you immediate access to your favorite Patches, whether they are in the XV-3080 itself, on Wave Expansion Boards, or on memory cards. You can register up to 64 Patches in this list. (p. 121)

Chapter 1 Selecting and Playing a Sound

Playing a Patch on the XV3080 from External MIDI Devices (MIDI Keyboard)

The XV-3080 produces sound in response to MIDI messages that it receives from an external MIDI device such as a MIDI keyboard or sequencer. In order for this to occur, the MIDI transmission channels of the external device must match the MIDI reception channels of the XV-3080.

* For details on setting the MIDI transmission channels of your

external MIDI device, refer to its owner’s manual.

Setting the XV-3080’s MIDI Reception Channels

In Patch mode

In order to play single Patches, set the XV-3080’s MIDI reception channel as follows.

1. Press [SYSTEM] to make its indicator light.

2. Press the [MIDI] function select button.

3. Press [ ] or [ ] to move the cursor to the number

underneath Patch/Rhy Rx Ch.

4. Use the VALUE dial or [INC]/[DEC] to select the desired

MIDI channel.

5. Press [EXIT].

Parts of a Performance

In order to play any of the 16 Parts in a Performance, you must set the MIDI reception channel for the Part.

1. Select the Performance.

2. Press the [MIDI] function select button.

3. Press one of the [1/9]–[8/16] buttons to select the Part

you want to set up. To select Part 9–16, press PART SELECT [1-8/9-16] to light its indicator, and then press the desired [1/9]–[8/16] button.

The button’s indicator will light, and the selected Part number will appear at the left in the display.

fig.1-5.e

4. Press [ ]/[ ] to move the cursor to “Channel.”

5. Use the VALUE dial or [INC]/[DEC] to select the desired

MIDI reception channel.

6. Press [EXIT].

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

In addition to Patch mode, the XV-3080 also features three other modes: Performance mode, Rhythm Set mode, and GM2 mode.

You can easily select any of these modes by pressing the corresponding MODE button: PERFORM, PATCH, RHYTHM or GM.

fig.1-7.e

PERFORM (Performance Mode)

In Performance mode, the XV-3080 functions as a multitimbral sound module when used with an external MIDI controller. An entire multitimbral setup is called a “Performance.” Performances can be customized as needed, including their effects. Each of the sounds used in a Performance is assigned to one of the Performance’s 16 Parts.

PATCH (Patch Mode)

In Patch mode, the entire XV-3080 is dedicated to the playing of a single Patch when controlled by an external MIDI device. You can also modify Patch settings in this mode, as well as their effects.

RHYTHM (Rhythm Set Mode)

In Rhythm Set mode, the entire XV-3080 is dedicated to the playing of a single Rhythm Set when controlled by an external MIDI device. You can also modify Rhythm Sets in this mode, as well as their effects. XV-3080 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-3080 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

Chapter 1 Selecting and Playing a Sound

Chapter 1

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.

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

USER

You can store your own Patches, Rhythm Sets and Performances in the SOUND LIBRARY’s USER group. When shipped from the factory, this group contains Patches with modified octave settings from the PRESET group’s Bank E (PR-E).

CARD

This library uses sounds from a commercially available memory card (SmartMedia) inserted into the MEMORY CARD slot.

When saving a file to the card, you can directly select Tones contained on the card – even without loading the files into the USER memory – by specifying the group (CD-A through CD-H). (Transmitting to a Memory Card (Save) p. 125)

PRESET

The PRESET library group contains the sounds that are permanently stored in the XV-3080’s memory. You can modify PRESET sounds and save them in the USER or CARD groups. PRESET Banks A and B (PR-A, PR-B) contain all of the XV-3080’s built-in Performances.

EXP (Expansion)

This group contains sounds from any wave expansion boards – SRX and SR-JV80 series, sold separately – installed in slots EXP A-F. You cannot alter the contents of the EXP group, though you can modify its sounds and save them as new sounds in the USER or CARD 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. 2))

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

expansion board is inserted into the corresponding slot.

Choosing a Sound Library

XV-3080 Sound data is stored in the SOUND LIBRARY. The SOUND LIBRARY is divided into four “groups”: USER, CARD, PRESET, and EXP. The PRESET and EXP groups are further divided into “banks.”

You can select any of the groups by pressing the corresponding SOUND LIBRARY button: USER, CARD, PRESET or EXP.
