Chapter 4 Creating a Patch

Output Assign

This specifies the output destination for the Patch.

MFX: The Patch is sent into the Multi-Effects. The output destination is determined by the Multi-Effects output setting. OUTPUT A–C:The Patch is sent to the selected pair of OUTPUTs, A–C.

INDIV 1–6:: The Patch is sent to the selected INDIVIDUAL output jack, 1–6.

TONE: Each Tone in the Patch is sent to its programmed output destination.

PATCH TEMPO

Clock Source (Patch clock source)

The LFO cycle, M-FX changes, phrase loop (break beats), and Tone delay time can be synchronized to a clock, or tempo. The Clock Source setting selects the timing reference to be used by the Patch.

PATCH: The Patch Tempo will be used.

SYSTEM: The global System Tempo or clock messages received from an external sequencer will be used.

Tempo (Patch tempo)20–250

When Clock Source is set to “PATCH,” this setting establishes the Patch’s tempo.

*Clock messages for the Patch Tempo are not transmitted from the MIDI OUT jack.

PATCH MODIFY

Cutoff (Cutoff Offset)-63–0–+63

This simultaneously lowers or raises the individual TVF cutoff frequency values of the Tones in the Patch.

Resonance (Resonance offset)-63–0–+63

This simultaneously lowers or raises the individual TVF Resonance values of the Tones in the Patch.

Attack (Attack time offset)

This simultaneously lowers or raises the individual TVA ENVELOPE T1 values of the Tones in the Patch.

Release (Release offset)

This simultaneously lowers or raises the individual TVA ENVELOPE T4 values of the Tones in the Patch.

Velocity Sens

This simultaneously lowers or raises the individual TVF

VELOCITY V-Cutoff and TVA V-Sens values of the Tones in

the Patch.

TMT VELO CONTROL (TMT velocity control)

With the XV-3080, you can set the expression range (key range) and the way a Tone is played according to the force with which the key is pressed (velocity) for each Tone individually. These settings are collectively referred to as the TMT (Tone Mix Table).

TMT Velocity Control (TMT velocity control)ON/

OFF/RANDOM

This determines whether Velocity messages from a MIDI keyboard or

sequencer will be recognized (ON), or ignored (OFF).

When set to RANDOM, the Patch’s constituent Tones will sound randomly, regardless of any Velocity messages.

TMT VEL RANG (TMT Velocity range)

L.Fade (TMT velocity fade width lower)0–127

This determines what will happen to the Tone’s level when the Tone is played at a velocity lower than its specified velocity range. Higher settings produce a more gradual change in volume. If you don’t want notes played below the specified velocity range to be heard at all, set this to 0.

Level

1

Lower

Upper

Velocity

 

L.Fade value

U.Fade value

 

Lower (TMT Velocity range lower)C-1 to G9

This sets the lowest velocity at which the Tone will sound.

Upper (TMT velocity upper)C-1 to G9

This sets the highest velocity at which the Tone will sound.

*It is not possible to set the Lower value higher than the Upper value, or the Upper value below the Lower value. If you attempt to do so, the two values will change simultaneously.

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.
