Storing a sound you modify into user
memory
The modified settings you make are only temporary, and
will be lost if you turn the power off or select another Patch,
Performance or Rhythm Set. To keep the modified settings,
you must write them into user memory.
<Procedure>
In Patch mode (when storing a Patch), Performance
mode (when storing a Performance) or in Rhythm Set
mode (when storing a Rhythm Set), press [UTILITY].
The Utility Menu display (UTILITY/Menu) will
appear.
Press [1] of the numeric keys, then [ENTER].
The Write display (UTILITY/Write) will appear.
Use the VALUE dial, [INC]/[DEC] or numeric keys to
specify the Patch, Performance or Rhythm Set number
of the destination of writing.
Press [F6] (Execute) to execute writing.
If Write Operation parameter (UTILITY/Protect/User
Memory Protect) is OFF, the specified Patch, Performance or
Rhythm Set will be overwritten by your new edited settings.
If Write Operation parameter (UTILITY/Protect/User
Memory Protect) is ON, the window will open.
Change the ON setting to OFF, and you'll be ready to
write your data into user memory. Press [EXIT] to

Functions of Patch parameters

Settings common to the entire Patch
(Common)
Common General display
On this display you can assign a name to a Patch and set the
volume and pan of the entire Patch.
Patch Name
You can call the Patch any name of up to 12 alphanumeric
characters.
Patch Level
Adjust the Patch's volume level. The Tone Level parameter
(PATCH/TVA/TVA Param) lets you level each Tone.
Patch Pan
Places or pans the Patch to a desired point in the stereo
soundfield. L64 is hard left, 0 is center, and 63R is hard right.
The Tone Pan parameter (PATCH/TVA TVA Param) lets
you pan each Tone.
Analog Feel (Analog feel depth)
Adjusts the depth at which 1/f modulation is applied to the
Patch.
...........................................................................................................
<1/f modulation>
'1/f' is a mathematical ratio that expresses the amount of
'predictable randomness' occurring in natural sounds that
sound pleasing to the human ear, such as gentle breezes or
murmuring brooks. The XP-80 can modulate the pitch and
volume of sounds by this ratio to create the warmth that
analog synthesizers have.
...........................................................................................................
Bend Range Up
Specifies the degree of pitch change (in semitones) when the
Bender lever is all the way right. When set to 12 and the
Bender is fully at right, the pitch will go up 1 octave.
Bend Range Down
Specifies the degree of pitch change (in semitones) when the
Bender lever is all the way left. When set to 48 and the
Bender is fully at left, the pitch will go down 4 octaves.
Octave Shift
Specifies transposing a Patch in 1 octave units (-3– +3
octaves).
