V-Resonance (TVF resonance velocity sensitivity) -63–+63

Use this parameter when you want velocity to affect the amount of Resonance. With higher settings, there is a greater difference in the amount of Resonance between softly and strongly played notes. Negative (-) values reverse the direction of the change.

dynamics (velocity) to affect T4 (Time 4) of the TVF envelope. With higher settings, the T1 value will change more significantly depending on whether you play softly or with greater force. With positive (+) settings, greater keyboard velocity will reduce the T4 setting. With negative (-) settings, greater keyboard velocity will increase the T4 setting.

This adjusts the amount of filter enveloping. Higher settings produce more change. Negative (-) values invert the effect of the TVF envelope.

V-Sens (TVF envelope velocity sensitivity) -63– +63

Use this parameter when you want keyboard playing dynamics (velocity) to affect the depth of the TVF Envelope. With higher settings, there is a greater difference in the TVF envelope depth when you play softly or hard. Negative (-) settings reverse the direction of change.

V-Curve (TVF envelope velocity curve) FIXED/ 1–7

This selects one of seven velocity curves that determine how velocity will affect the depth of the TVF Envelope. The selected curve is displayed graphically to the right of its value.

When set to “FIXED,” the TVF envelope depth remains unchanged, regardless of how hard or soft you play.

VT-1 (TVF envelope time 1 velocity sensitivity) -63–+63

Use this parameter when you want keyboard playing dynamics (velocity) to affect T1 (Time 1) of the TVF envelope. With higher settings, the T1 value will change more significantly depending on whether you play softly or with greater force. With positive (+) settings, greater keyboard velocity will reduce the T1 setting. With negative (-) settings, greater keyboard velocity will increase the T1 setting.

Use this parameter when you want velocity to affect T1 (time) of the TVF envelope. For higher settings, there will be a greater difference between softly and strongly played notes. For positive (+) settings, keyboard velocity will speed up the T1 time. For negative (-) settings, keyboard velocity will slow down the T1 time.

VT-4 (TVF envelope time 4 velocity sensitivity) -63–+63

Use this parameter when you want keyboard playing

L0 (TVF envelope level 0) 0–127

This sets the amount of change applied to the cutoff

frequency setting when the key is first pressed.

T1–4 (TVA envelope time 1–4) 0–127

These settings determine the times over which the cutoff frequency setting will change from one TVF envelope level (L1–L4) to the next.

L1–L4 (TVF envelope level 1–4) 0–127

Each TVF envelope level value determines an amount of change to be applied to the original cutoff frequency setting.

Making the Volume Change (TVA)

The TVA (Time Variant Amplifier) controls the Rhythm Tone’s volume changes and stereo positioning.

TVA

Level 0–127

This sets the Rhythm Tone’s basic volume. This setting is useful primarily for adjusting the volume balance between Rhythm Tones in a Rhythm Set.

*The overall volume of the Rhythm Set is set by the Rhythm Level (RHYTHM COMMON page) setting, raising or lowering the Tone level settings of its individual Rhythm Tones by the selected amount. (p. 111)

Pan (Pan)L64–0–63R

This specifies the stereo position of the Rhythm Tone. L64 places the Rhythm Tone hard left, 0 puts it dead-center and 63R pans it hard right.

Random (Random pan depth) 0–63

Use this parameter to activate random panning, note-by- note. Higher values result in more extreme fluctuations in

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. Its extensive sound library, advanced synthesis capabilities, and solid effects processing make it an essential tool for any serious musician or producer looking to create professional-quality music.
