Chapter 2. Playing
Sound variations or volume changes made with the
Sound Palette function affect only the performance.
They have no effect on the currently selected
Performance, so the Sound Palette settings cannot be
saved. If you change the Performance, these settings
will be lost.
The sound character and volume changes created
using the Sound Palette will also be transmitted to the
XP-80's sequencer and external MIDI devices.
If Single Performance is selected, the effect applies
only to the current Part. With Layer Performance
selected, this affects only the Parts with Local Switch
parameter (PERFORM/MIDI/Part MIDI) set ON.
Make sure that the Play display (PERFORM) is show-
ing.
Press [FILTER/ENV] to light its indicator.
Move the sliders while you play the XP-80's keyboard
to vary the sound.
Make sure that the Play display (PERFORM) is show-
ing.
Press [LEVEL] to light its indicator.
Press [l] or [r] to select the Part whose level (volume)
you want to change.
Move the slider as you play to adjust the level (vol-
ume) of each Part as desired.
