Chapter 1 Selecting and Playing a Sound
Playing a Patch on the XV-
3080 from External MIDI
Devices (MIDI Keyboard)
The XV-3080 produces sound in response to MIDI messages
that it receives from an external MIDI device such as a MIDI
keyboard or sequencer. In order for this to occur, the MIDI
transmission channels of the external device must match the
MIDI reception channels of the XV-3080.
* For details on setting the MIDI transmission channels of your
external MIDI device, refer to its owner's manual.

PERFORM (Performance Mode)
In Performance mode, the XV-3080 functions as a
multitimbral sound module when used with an external
MIDI controller. An entire multitimbral setup is called a
"Performance." Performances can be customized as needed,
including their effects. Each of the sounds used in a
Performance is assigned to one of the Performance's 16 Parts.
PATCH (Patch Mode)
In Patch mode, the entire XV-3080 is dedicated to the playing
of a single Patch when controlled by an external MIDI device.
You can also modify Patch settings in this mode, as well as
their effects.
RHYTHM (Rhythm Set Mode)
In Rhythm Set mode, the entire XV-3080 is dedicated to the
playing of a single Rhythm Set when controlled by an
external MIDI device. You can also modify Rhythm Sets in
this mode, as well as their effects. XV-3080 Rhythm Sets can
also be used for any Part in a Performance when in
Performance mode.
GM(General MIDI2 Mode)
In this mode, the XV-3080 functions as a General MIDI 2-
compatible sound generator.
General MIDI is a set of recommendations which seeks to
provide a way to go beyond the limitations of proprietary
designs, and standardize the MIDI capabilities of sound
generating devices. Sound generating devices and music files
that meet the General MIDI standard bear the General MIDI
logo (
). Music files bearing the General MIDI logo can be
played back using any General MIDI sound generating unit
