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 MIDI-
compatible 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)
