Selects the number of stages in the phaser (4/8).

Pol (Polarity)

Selects whether the left and right phase of the modulation will be the same or the opposite.

INVERSE:The left and right phase will be opposite. When using a mono source, this spreads the sound. SYNCHRO:The left and right phase will be the same. Select this when inputting a stereo source.

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.
