When using 3D effects

The following three 3D effects utilize RSS (Roland Sound Space) technology to create a spaciousness that cannot be produced by delay, reverb, chorus, etc.

48:3D DELAY

60:3D CHORUS

61:3D FLANGER

When using these effects, we recommend that you place your speakers as follows. Also, make sure that the speakers are at a sufficient distance from the walls on either side.

If the left and right speakers are too far apart, or if there is too much reverberation, the full 3D effect may not appear.

Each of these effects has an Out (Output Mode) parameter. If the sound from the OUTPUT jacks is to be heard through speakers, set this parameter to Speaker. If the sound is to be heard through headphones, set it to Phones. This will ensure that the optimal 3D effect will be heard. If this parameter is not set correctly, the full 3D effect may not appear.

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.
