Chapter 2 Using the XV-3080 Effects

Balance (Effect Balance) #

Sets the volume balance between the source sound and the effect sound.

With a setting of D100:0W only the direct sound will be output, and with a setting of D0:100W only the effect sound will be output.

LowGain

Adjust the low frequency gain (amount of boost or cut). Positive (+) settings will emphasize (boost) the low frequency range.

Hi Gain

Adjust the high frequency gain (amount of boost or cut). Positive (+) settings will emphasize (boost) the high frequency range.

Level (Output Level)

Adjust the output level.

47:SHUFFLE DELAY

Shuffle Delay adds a shuffle to the delay sound, giving the sound a bouncy delay effect with a swing feel.

Delay (Delay Time) #

Adjust the delay time from the original sound until the delay sound is heard.

Shuffle (Shuffle Rate) #

Sets the ratio (as a percentage) of the time that elapses before the sound plays in Delay B relative to the time that elapses before the sound plays in Delay A. When set to 100%, the delay times are the same.

Accel (Acceleration)

Adjust the time over which the Delay Time will change from the current setting to a newly specified setting. The rate of change for the Delay Time directly affects the rate of pitch change.

Fbk (Feedback) #

Adjust the proportion (%) of the delay sound that is to be returned to the input. Positive (+) settings will return the signal to the input with the original phase, while negative (-) settings produce an inverted phase.

HF Damp

Adjust the frequency above which delayed sound fed back to the delay input will be cut.

If you do not want to cut the high frequencies of the feedback, set this parameter to BYPASS.

Pan A

Adjust the pan of the delay A sound.

Pan B

Adjust the pan of the delay B sound.

Level Balance

Sets the balance for the levels of the delay A and the delay B.

LowGain

Adjust the low frequency gain (amount of boost or cut). Positive (+) settings will emphasize (boost) the low frequency range.

Hi Gain

Adjust the high frequency gain (amount of boost or cut). Positive (+) settings will emphasize (boost) the high frequency range.

Balance (Effect Balance) #

Sets the volume balance between the source sound and the effect sound.

With a setting of D100:0W only the direct sound will be output, and with a setting of D0:100W only the effect sound will be output.

Level (Output Level)

Adjust the output level.

48:3D DELAY

This applies a 3D effect to the delay sound. The delay sound will be positioned 90 degrees left and 90 degrees right.

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.
