DanceKit

The “Dance Kit” disk contains carefully selected sounds and music data geared toward the cur- rent dance music scene. By using this disk, you will be able to hear for yourself how the XP-80 can be used to its full potential. Maybe it will provide some hints which can be used for your own music!

In the “Dance Kit” you will find the following data and materials:

Demo songs: 6

Demo songs (for RPS): 14

Data files: 1 (DANCEKIT.SVD)

✳“DANCEKIT.SVD” contains 128 patches, 32 performances, and 2 rhythm sets.

After playing the demos, you will want to load your important data back into the XP-80. To do so, Press the [DISK], Press the numeric key [1], then [ENTER] to call up the Load display (DISK/Load). From that screen, select “SOUND” for File Type parameter, and then select your file and press the [F6] (Execute) to load the data.
