Roland XV-5080 Q&A, Sound List page 8

Q&A
PERFORM, you can control the multi-effects using MIDI
messages on the MIDI Receive channels set in Performance
MFX Ctrl Channel ( [PERFORM]/[Effects]/[[MFX Ctl]).
Q: Can different Patch Chorus and Reverb
Send level settings be made, one set for when
multi-effects are used, and one for when they
are not used?
A: You can set two values for Patch Chorus and Reverb Send
levels, one for use with multi-effects, and one for use in other
cases. Since in many cases sounds are not passed through the
multi-effects when Patches are used in Performances, using
two Chorus and Reverb Send settings, one to use when
sounds are passed through the multi-effects and one when
not, allows you to get the optimum settings for each of the
Performance and Patch modes. The settings values for
Chorus and Reverb parameters shown when you switch
Output Assign ([PATCH]/[Effects]) between multi-effects
and other setups.
Q: Even though the Chorus/Reverb Send level
is raised in each of the Performance's Parts,
it's difficult to get the effect.
A: Although you can make Send level ([PERFORM]/
[Effects]/[General]) settings to the Chorus and Reverb for
each individual Part in a Performance, these values only set
the upper limit of the Chorus and Reverb Send levels for the
Patch used. Accordingly, even when the value is set to the
maximum of 127, if the Send level is lowered in the Patch
being used, there will be no effect. In addition, different
Patch Chorus and Reverb Send level settings can be used
according to whether or not the multi-effects are used.
Q: Does "x" ever appears in an effects device
settings window?
A: This means that the internal effects Master Switch is set to
"OFF." Press the [EFFECTS ON/OFF] button on the panel to
set the Master Switch to "ON."
Q: If the multi-effects "TRIPLE TAP DELAY" or
other delay time value is set to the note, and
then the tempo is slowed down, does the
delay time not change beyond a fixed length?
A: Such Delay time settings have an upper limit, so if the
upper limit of a value set to the note is exceeded when the
tempo is retarded, that upper value cannot rise any further.
Q: How many types of Multi-effects are there
altogether?
A: There are 90 types.

Q: Three Multi-effects processors can be used
in Performance mode, but can they be used in
series?
A: No.
In Performance mode, the outputs of the Parts are input to
the three Multi-effects in parallel. For example, you could do
something like setting the output of Parts 1 and 2 to M-FX A,
the outputs of Parts 3 and 4 to M-FX B, the output of Part 5 to
M-FX C, and connect the other parts directly to the outputs,
bypassing the Multi-effects.
Q: With the Multi-effects, can I add rotary to
distorted sounds, such as those from the
distortion effects?
A: Yes. You can use the "Rotary Multi" multi-effect. The
example cited in the previous question was made with the
image of the Rock Organ tone in mind, but the XV-5080's
Multi-effects features the following internal Multi-effects
which consist of a number effects connected in series that are
perfect for such tones (instruments).
