    The XV-3080 has three sets of stereo outputs. These outputs allow you to separate sounds – or groups of sounds – from the XV-3080’s overall stereo mix, and to send them to their own external destinations. For example, you could route a stereo Rhythm Set to a pair of output jacks connected to an external effects device.
