Playing in Patch mode

Patches are what you normally play during a performance.
Select a Patch before playing.

Selecting a Patch

The XP-80 offers five groups of Patches (User, Presets A–C
and GM) with each group having 128 Patches for a total of
640 Patches.
Up to four optional Wave Expansion Boards can be installed
to provide a whopping 1,660 Patches.
USER
The XP-80's user memory contains 128 Patches that can be
rewritten to create your own Patches.
PR-A–C (Presets A–C)
The XP-80 includes 384 preset Patches that are not user-
rewritable. But you can call up preset Patch settings into the
temporary area, modify them, and then store them in User
memory.
GM (General MIDI)
GM Patches are for instruments compatible with the GM
System. The aim of this system is to standardize MIDI speci-
fications among different equipment makers or models. The
XP-80 contains 128 GM Patches that are not user-rewritable.
But you can call up GM Patch settings into the temporary
area, modify them, and then store them in User memory.
XP-A–D (Wave Expansion Boards installed in EXP-A–D Slots)
The Patches included in optional Wave Expansion Boards
are not user-rewritable. But you can call up those Patch set-
tings into the temporary area, modify them, and then store
them in User memory.
A Patch XP-A–D cannot be accessed if the Wave
Expansion Board it belongs to has not been installed.

Selecting a Patch with Bank/Number method
You can select a Patch by combining BANK [1]–[8] and
NUMBER [1]–[8] buttons in the center of the front panel.
This selection style is called the 'Bank/Number method.'
When selecting a Patch on the XP-80 using the
Bank/Number method, the bank/number corresponding to
each Patch number is shown at the upper left of the display.
Patch number Bank/Number
Patch number: 001 002 003 ... 064 065 066 067
Bank/number: a11 a12 a13 ... a88 b11 b12 b13 ... b88
With the Bank/Number method, 64 Patches in bank 1/num-
ber 1 through bank 8/number 8 make up a single subgroup.
Subgroups (a/b/c/d) can be changed in units of 64 Patches.
Subgroup c or d can be chosen only when selecting a
Patch from a Wave Expansion Board.
<Procedure>
Press [PATCH] to call up the Play display (PATCH).
Turn the VALUE dial, or press [INC]/[DEC] or numer-
ic keys to select a Patch group.
Press [a/b/c/d] to select a subgroup. Subgroups a and
b will be toggled each time the button is pressed.
When selecting a Patch from a Wave Expansion Board,
pressing this button will cycle through subgroups a, b,
c, and d.
Press BANK [1]–[8] to select a bank.
Press NUMBER [1]–[8] to select a number.
