Table).

Group (Wave group)

This selects the desired waveform’s group.

Number (Wave number)

This selects the desired waveform by its number. You can choose a separate waveform for each of the XV-3080’s left and right channels.

The selected wave’s name will appear to the right of the wave number parameter.

Gain (Wave gain)

This specifies the gain (or amplitude) of the waveform. The value changes in 6 dB (decibel) steps – an increase of 6 dB doubles the waveform’s gain. If you intend to use the Booster to distort the waveform’s sound, set this parameter to its maximum value.

Level (Wave level) 0–127

This adjusts the volume of each of the Rhythm Tone’s waveforms to establish the desired volume balance between the waves.

*The overall volume of each waveform is determined by the Tone Level setting (TVA page) combined with the WMT Wave Tone Level setting. (p. 117)

Switch (Wave switch)

This specifies whether the Rhythm Tone will sound (ON) or not (OFF). In order to make best use of the available number of simultaneous voices, unused Rhythm Tones should be turned off.

Wave Tempo Sync

This determines whether the waveform is synchronized (ON) or not synchronized (OFF) to the Patch’s tempo.

WMT VEL RANG (WMT Velocity Range)

Lower/Upper (Velocity range lower/upper)

This determines what will happen to the waveform’s level when it is played at a velocity lower or higher than its specified velocity range. Higher settings produce a more gradual change in volume. If you don’t want notes played outside the specified velocity range to be heard at all, set this to 0.

L.Fade/U.Fade (Velocity fade width lower/ upper)

This sets the lowest and highest velocities at which the waveform will sound. This feature is useful when you want different waveforms to be heard depending on how hard you

play the Rhythm Set.

*It is not possible to set the Lower value higher than the Upper value, or the Upper value below the Lower value. If you attempt to do so, the two values will change simultaneously.

VELO CONTROL

WMT Velocity Control Switch

This determines whether Velocity messages from a MIDI keyboard or sequencer will be recognized (ON), or ignored (OFF).

When set to RANDOM, the Patch’s constituent Tones will sound randomly, regardless of any Velocity messages.

WMT PAN (WMT Wave Pan)

Pan (Wave pan)L64–0–63R

This establishes the stereo location of the waveform. L64 places it hard left, 0 outs it dead-center and 63R pans it hard right.

*The overall panning of the entire Rhythm Tone is set by the Tone Pan parameter (TVA page), offsetting the WMT Wave Pan value. (p. 117)

Rnd Pan (Wave random pan switch)

Use this setting to cause the waveform’s panning to change randomly each time a key is pressed (ON) or not (OFF). The range of the panning change is set by the Tone Rhythm Pan Depth setting (TVA page). (p. 117)

Alt Pan (Wave alternate pan switch)

Use this setting to cause the waveform’s stereo position to flip from the left to the right each time a key is pressed (ON) or not (OFF).

The stereo width of the change is set by the Tone Rhythm Pan Depth setting (TVA page). (p. 118)

WMT TUNE

Coarse (Wave coarse tune ) -48–+48

This adjusts the pitch of Rhythm Tone in semitone steps (-4– +4 octaves).

Fine (Wave fine tune) -50–+50

This adjusts the pitch of the Rhythm Tone in 1-cent steps (1/ 100th of a semitone) over a range of half a semitone up or down.

FXM (Frequency Cross Modulation) uses a specified
