Chapter 4 Creating a Patch

TMT Ctrl Sw (TMT control switch) OFF/ON

This setting determines whether or not the TMT is controlled by the Matrix Control. When TMT Velocity Control is set to OFF, turning this parameter on and off is a simple way to switch between playing all Tones or controlling them with the Matrix Control, making this an effective tool for auditioning Tones.

Bend Range (Pitch bend range) 0–48

This sets the amount of pitch change that will occur when you move the Pitch Bend lever. The left value specifies the amount of pitch change that will be applied to the Patch’s pitch when the lever is moved fully left (or down on some MIDI controllers). The right value specifies the pitch change that will occur when the lever is moved fully to the right (or up). The left value has a range of -48–0 (-4–0 octaves), and the right value has a range of 0–+48 (0–4 octaves).

MATRIX CTRL SRC (Matrix control source)

If you wish to use controllers to control a specific Tone parameter, you can select the desired controller in this page. Four control sources can be assigned to each Patch.

Control 1–4 (Matrix control 1–4 source)

Assign one of the following controllers to Control Source 1–4. If you wish to use a controller that will apply to all Patches, or a controller that cannot be directly selected here, select SYS-CTRL1–4, and then select the controller using the Control Source 1–4 parameters (SYS CTRL ASSIGN page). OFF: a controller will not be used

MATRIX CTR1–4 (Matrix control 1–4)

This selects the parameters to be controlled by Matrix Control Source 1–4 and the Sens settings, as well as the specific Tones whose parameters you wish to control. Up to four destination parameters can be selected for each controller and controlled simultaneously.

The upper line of the display shows the Control Source selected in the MATRIX CTRL SRC page.

DEST1–4 (Destination 1–4)

Dest: This selects a parameter to be controlled.

Sns: This adjusts the amount of change that will occur in response to controller changes. Negative (-) values invert the change. For LFO rates, negative (-) values slow down the LFO, and positive (+) values will speed it up.

Tone: This selects the Tone to which the two previous parameter settings are applied. “o” turns signifies that the Tone is selected for control, “_” that it is not selected, and “R” that the change being applied is inverted when applied to this Tone.

XV-3080 specifications

The Roland XV-3080 is a powerful and versatile sound module that has become a favorite among musicians, producers, and composers since its release in the late 1990s. This module is renowned for its extensive sound library, advanced synthesis capabilities, and user-friendly interface, making it a staple in studios and on stages worldwide.

One of the standout features of the XV-3080 is its impressive range of sounds. It boasts 1,024 preset sounds and 256 user patches, which can be expanded with Roland's SR-JV80 expansion boards to access even more diverse sounds. The XV-3080 is equipped with a Waveform Memory of 128 MB, providing high-quality samples and ensuring rich, detailed sound. The module also features a powerful multitimbral engine, allowing up to 16 simultaneous parts to be played, making it an ideal choice for complex arrangements and live performances.

Another key technology in the XV-3080 is its advanced SuperNATURAL technology. This innovation enhances traditional sample playback by incorporating physical modeling, enabling more expressive and nuanced tones. Musicians can take advantage of features like dynamic layering and velocity-sensitive control, adding an organic quality that is often missing in digital instruments.

The built-in effects processor is another highlight, offering a wide range of high-quality effects, including reverb, chorus, flanger, and distortion. These effects can be applied to individual parts or used globally, allowing for creative sound design and customization. The XV-3080 also supports real-time editing, letting users tweak parameters on the fly, which is particularly useful in live settings.

Connectivity is plentiful on the XV-3080, with MIDI In/Out, as well as digital and analog outputs. This allows for seamless integration with other equipment, whether it's a DAW, a keyboard controller, or an audio interface.

The XV-3080's intuitive interface, featuring a bright LCD screen and a straightforward layout, makes navigating through options quick and easy. Musicians can spend less time fumbling with settings and more time focusing on their music.

In summary, the Roland XV-3080 is a sophisticated sound module that combines cutting-edge technology with user-friendly features.
