Chapter 2 Using the XV-5080 Effects
57:GATE
The Gate effect cuts the reverb's delay according to the
volume of the sound input to the effects device. Use this in
situations such as when you want to force a decrease in the
decay sound.

Mode
GATE (Gate Reverb):
When the source volume falls below a certain level, the gate
closes, giving the effect of the reverb sound being cut with a
gate reverb.
DUCK (Ducking Reverb):
When the source volume gets high enough, the gate closes,
which gives a ducking reverb-type effect. Stop the reverb
sound only when input loud sound so that prevent the play
sound become unclear.
Attack Time
Sets the time it takes the gate fully opens after being
triggered.
Hold Time
Sets the time it takes the gate starts closing after the instant
the source sound goes under the threshold level.
Release Time
Sets the time it takes the gate fully closes after passes by the
hold time.
Gate Key
Key
Selects the input of the sound that acts as the trigger closing
the gate.
When set to SOURCE, the gate is closed by the sound input
to the Multi-effects.
Threshold (Key Threshold)
Sets the volume level at which the gate begins to close.
Moniter (Key Monitor)
Determines whether the sound used as the gate trigger is
output (ON) or not (OFF).

Balance
Balance (Effect Balance) #
Sets the volume balance between the source sound and the
effect sound.
With a setting of D100:0W only the direct sound will be
output, and with a setting of D0:100W only the effect sound
will be output.
Output
Level (Output Level)
Adjust the output level.
58:SLICER
By applying successive cuts to the sound, this effect turns a
conventional sound into a sound that appears to be played as
a backing phrase. This is especially effective when applied to
sustain-type sounds.

Level 1–4
Beat 1–4
For a single measure containing four quarter notes, this sets
the level of each sixteenth-note when the measure is divided
into sixteenth notes. When set to 0, no sound is output.
Rate
Rate #
Determines the cycle for one measure.
Attack
Attack
Sets the speed at which the volume changes between beats.
The higher the value, the faster the volume changes.
Reset
Trigger #
Selects the input of the sound that acts as the trigger resetting
the one-measure pattern.
When set to OFF, the pattern is not reset, even if the input is
present. When set to Source, the pattern is reset by the sound
input to the multi-effects. When RESET is selected as the
MFX Control parameter, you can then use an external MIDI
device to reset the pattern.
