Initializing a Sound

This function resets all of the parameters in the current Patch, Performance, Rhythm Set or Rhythm Tone to their standard or factory default settings.

*When you play a Patch, Performance, Rhythm Set or Rhythm Tone, you’re actually playing it from the XV-3080’s Temporary memory – the Patch, Performance, Rhythm Set or Rhythm Tone is instantly copied into the Temporary memory when you select it. During initialization, only the copy is affected, not the version saved in memory. If you wish to restore all of the XV-3080’s settings to their factory values, including the memory locations in its SOUND LIBRARY, perform a Factory Reset. (p. 124)

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 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.
