Roland XV-5080 Control Patch Control, Tempo Patch Tempo, Voice Priority, One Shot Mode, 129

Release Offset

Range: -63– +63

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

With Multi-Partial Patches, only TVA changes.

Velo Sens Offset (Velocity Sensitivity Offset)

Range: -63– +63

Sets the relative ratio of change of the TVF VELOCITY V- Cutoff and TVA V-Sens values set in each of the Tones/ Partials comprising the Patch.

Tempo (Patch Tempo)

Clock Source (Patch Clock Source)

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

Available Settings:

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)

Range: 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.

Voice Priority

This determines how notes will be managed when the XV- 5080’s maximum polyphony limit is exceeded (128 voices).

Available Settings:

LAST: The last-played voices will be given priority, and currently sounding notes will be turned off in order, beginning with the first-played note.

LOUDEST: The voices with the loudest volume will be given priority, and currently sounding notes will be turned off, beginning with the lowest-volume voice.

One Shot Mode

Range: OFF/ON

This causes all the samples assigned to a selected Patch in Loop mode (p. 151) to be played all together (One Shot).

*This function cannot be used with internal waves, and waves on Wave Expansion Boards.

*Loop mode settings cannot be changed for individual samples.

Key Mode (Key Assign Mode)

Key Assign (Patch Key Assign)

This sets how the Patch’s notes will be played. The SOLO setting is effective when playing a solo instrument Patch such as sax or flute.

MONO:Only one note will sound at a time.

POLY:Two or more notes can be played simultaneously.

Legato Switch

Range: OFF/ON

Turn this parameter on when you want to use the Legato feature and off when you don’t. Legato is a function that works only when the Key Assign Mode is MONO. When Legato is ON, pressing one key when another is already pressed causes the currently playing note’s pitch to change to that of the newly pressed key while continuing to sound. This can be effective when you wish to simulate performance techniques such as a guitarist’s hammering on and pulling off strings.

Legato Retrigger

Range: OFF/ON

The setting determines whether sounds are replayed or not when performing legato. Normally you will leave this parameter “ON.” When Delay Keyfollow is set to OFF, if one key is pressed while another key is held down, only the pitch changes, which with some waveforms may result in unnatural sound. Set this to “OFF” when performing wind and string phrases or when using modulation with the mono synth keyboard sound.

*If the Legato Switch is “OFF,” this setting is ignored.

*Let’s say you have the Legato Switch set to “ON,” and the Legato Retrigger set to “OFF.” When you try to sound a legato (by pressing a higher key while a lower key is held down), the pitch may sometimes not be able to rise all the way to the intended pitch (stopping instead at an intermediate pitch). This can occur because the limit of pitch rise, as determined at the wave level, has been exceeded. Additionally, if differing upper pitch limits are used for the waves of a Patch
