This specifies the source of the data to be transmitted. USER: Data from USER memory will be transmitted. TEMP: Data in Temporary memory will be transmitted. CTRL: Transmit messages for Performance Bank Select,

Performance Program Change, and Volume and Pan messages for the Parts whose Rx parameter (PERFORM/MIDI/MIDI) is turned on.

Destination

This sets the MIDI transmission destination.

3.Press [ ] / [ ] to make “XFER” blink.

4.Press [ENTER].

5.Press [ ] / [ ] to move the cursor to the Destination position, and then select MIDI by turning the

VALUE dial.

6.Press [ ] / [ ] to move the cursor to any other desired parameter.

7.Turn by the VALUE dial or by press [INC]/[DEC], select the desired value.

8.Press [ENTER] to execute the data transmission.

* To interrupt the transmission of data, press [EXIT].

9.Press [EXIT] to return to the previous page.

Transmitting to User Memory

You can transmit Patch, Performance or Rhythm Set settings to the USER memory and System settings to the System memory. By loading sound data from a memory card or Wave Expansion Boards to USER memory, you can bring new sounds into a Performance.

Source block

You can specify the data to be transmitted by selecting the appropriate combination shown below.

For example, if you wish to transmit only the PR-A group Patch 001, specify “PATCH PR-A:001–001.”

If the selected data is too large to fit completely into the transmission destination, as much of the data as will fit will be transmitted, starting at the first number of the specified transmission destination.

(Example)

Block PATCH PR-A:001–005

Destination User:127

If data is transmitted with the above settings, only the two PR-A group Patches 01 and 02 will be successfully transmitted – to USER group Patches 127 and 128 – since you will have attempted to send five Patches to the last two USER memory locations: 127 and 128. Had you selected 124 as a destination, memory locations 124–128 would have accommodated all five Patches.

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.
