Chapter 2 Using The Xv-3080 Effects; Turning Effects On/Off; Adjusting Effect Settings In Patch Mode ([Patch]-[Effects]) - Roland XV-3080 Owner's Manual

Chapter 2 Using the XV-3080 Effects

The XV-3080 has three built-in effect units: Multi-Effects,
Chorus and Reverb. You can independently edit each unit's
settings.
Multi-Effects (MFX)
The Multi-Effects unit offers 63 effects ranging from single
effects – such as distortion and delay – to powerful
combination effects. The Multi-Effects unit also includes its
own chorus and reverb effects independent of the dedicated
Chorus and Reverb effects described below.
Chorus
Chorus adds depth and spaciousness to the sound.
Reverb
Reverb adds ambience – such as the sound of a concert hall
or auditorium – to sounds.

Turning Effects On/Off

You can turn any of the XV-3080's effect units – Multi-effects,
Chorus and Reverb – on or off using a single procedure.
1. Press [EFFECTS ON/OFF] to make its indicator light.
fig.2-01.e
2. Use [
]/[ ] to move the cursor beneath the effect
that you wish to turn on/ or off.
3. Pressing [INC] turns the selected effect unit on, while
pressing [DEC] turns it off.
You might, for example, want to turn effects off when
creating a new Patch so that you can hear what it sounds like
without effects. You may also want to turn off the XV-3080's
effects when you wish to use external effect devices instead
of the built-in effects.
Adjusting Effect Settings in
Patch mode ([PATCH]-
[EFFECTS])
The Multi-Effects, Chorus and Reverb effects can be set up
individually for each Patch. You can adjust the amount of
effect to be applied to the Tones in a Patch by adjusting their
Send Levels to each of the effect units.
