Chapter 3 Selecting Output Jacks

The XV-3080 has three sets of stereo outputs.

These outputs allow you to separate sounds – or groups of sounds – from the XV-3080’s overall stereo mix, and to send them to their own external destinations. For example, you could route a stereo Rhythm Set to a pair of output jacks connected to an external effects device. You can also use the three pairs of jacks as six independent output jacks to which you can route Tones, Rhythm Tones or Patches.

This chapter describes the signal paths in the XV-3080’s various modes, along with the associated parameters. Please refer to this section when selecting your outputs.
