Cutoff Freq (Cutoff Frequency) *1

This sets the cutoff frequency at which the LPF or HPF begin to work.

*1 200, 250, 315, 400, 500, 630, 800, 1000, 1250, 1600, 2000, 2500, 3150, 4000, 5000, 6300, 8000 Hz

For Delay

Delay C (Delay Center) 200–1000 ms

This sets the delay time for the delay located at the center of the stereo field.

Delay L (Delay Left) 200–1000 ms

This sets the delay time for the delay located at the left side of the stereo field.

Delay R (Delay Right) 200–1000 ms

This sets the delay time for the delay located at the right side of the stereo field.

Fbk (Feedback) -98– +98%

This adjusts the amount of delay feedback, controlling the number of times the delay repeats. Higher values result in more repeats. With negative (-) values, the phase of the repeated delays is inverted.

Level C (Delay Center Level) 0–127

This sets the volume level of the delay located at the center of the stereo field.

Level L (Delay Left Level) 0–127

This sets the volume level of the delay located at the left side of the stereo field.

Level R (Delay Right Level) 0–127

This sets the volume level of the delay located at the right side of the stereo field.

HF Damp *1

This allows you to reduce, or “damp,” the high-frequency content of the repeated feedback delays – frequencies above the selected value will be damped. If you do not wish to damp the high-frequency content of the feedback delays, set this parameter to BYPASS.

*1 200, 250, 315, 400, 500, 630, 800, 1000, 1250, 1600, 2000, 2500, 3150, 4000, 5000, 6300, 8000 Hz, BYPASS

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.
