Type (Portamento type)
Selects the Portamento effect wanted.
RATE: Pitch change time varies in relation to the pitch dif-
ference.
TIME: Pitch change time stays constant, regardless of pitch
difference.
Mode (Portamento mode)
Selects how Portamento is to be applied.
NORMAL: Portamento will always be applied.
LEGATO: Portamento effects only legato notes (i.e., when
you press one key before releasing the previously pressed
key).
Start (Portamento start pitch)
Starts a new portamento if you press another key during
pitch change. This setting specifies the pitch where the new
portamento starts.
PITCH: Starts a new portamento when another key is
pressed while the pitch is changing.

<Control Source>
You can use controllers to control a specific Tone parameter
for each Patch, assigning functions that are different from
those offered by conventional controllers to a controller. For
example, changing Tone pitch by holding down a key (after-
touch) or TVF resonance through the Pitch Bend lever.

Chapter 3. Creating your own sounds
[PATCH] [F1] (Common) [F2] (Control)
Each Patch can have up to three controller assignments (Ctrl
1–3), and you can assign the following controllers to Control
Source. The Control Source for Ctrl 1 is fixed at MODULA-
TION.
OFF: A controller will not be used.
SYS-CTRL1: System controller 1
SYS-CTRL2: System controller 2
MODULATION: Modulation (Controller number 1)
BREATH: Breath (Controller number 2)
FOOT: Foot (Controller number 4)
VOLUME: Volume (Controller number 7)
PAN: Pan (Controller number 10)
EXPRESSION: Expression (Controller number 11)
PITCH BEND: Pitch bend
AFTERTOUCH: Aftertouch
LFO1: Adjusts the modulation rate of the LFO1 waveform
–Rate parameter (PATCH/LFO&Ctl/LFO 1 Param)
LFO2: Adjusts the modulation rate of the LFO2 waveform
–Rate parameter (PATCH/LFO&Ctl/LFO 2 Param)
VELOCITY: Velocity
KEYFOLLOW: Adjusts parameter value depending on the
key position, relative to the C4 key (0)
PLAYMATE: Adjusts parameter value depending on the
time duration of the key press
If you want to use a controller that is common to all
Patches, or to use a controller that is not available for
selection here, first select SYS-CTRL1 or SYS-CTRL2
for Control Source, then use the Sys-Ctrl1 parameter
(SYSTEM/Control/Control Assign) or Sys-Ctrl2 para-
meter (SYSTEM/Control/Control Assign) to select the
controller.
Set the Tone parameter to be modified and its value on
the Control Param display (PATCH/LFO&Ctl) (p.58).

<Peak&Hold>
Pedal messages conventionally hold only note– not MIDI
messages like modulation and aftertouch. This makes it
impossible to hold a sound (using a hold pedal) with after-
touch applied as you play the phrase.
The XP-80 can hold parameter value changes (maximum
change value) even when the controller is returned to its
original position after receiving pedal messages.
Use Peak&Hold to specify how parameter values will be
held after receiving pedal messages.
OFF: Parameter values will not be held even if pedal mes-
sages are received.
HOLD: Parameter values will be held when pedal messages
are received.
PEAK: Parameter values will be held when pedal messages
are received. But if a parameter value greater than the cur-
rent one is received while Hold is still ON, the new value
will be held.
When using this function, make sure you also set the
Hold-1 parameter (PATCH/LFO&Ctl/Control Switch) ON.
