Roland XV-5080 owner manual Tips for Selecting a Waveform, Palette Function, 135

5.Press [ ]/[ ]/[ ]/[ ] to move the cursor to the parameter you want to set.

6.Turn the VALUE dial or press [INC]/[DEC] to select the desired value.

*If you make a mistake when setting a parameter’s value, or you don’t like the change you have made, just press [UNDO] to restore the original value of the parameter.

7.Repeat Steps 2–6 to finish setting up the Patch.

8.Press [EXIT] to return to the PATCH PLAY page.

A “*” symbol will appear at the left of the Patch name, indicating that its settings have been modified.

*If you turn off the power or select another Patch while the “*” symbol is displayed, your new Patch settings will be lost. If you wish to keep these settings, perform the Save operation. (p. 194)

Palette Function

When editing a Tone, you can simultaneously view the settings of all four of its Tones by pressing [F6 (Palette)].

1.When modifying a Tone, press [F6 (Palette)] to call up the Tone Palette page.

2.Press a TONE SELECT [1]–[4] button, [ ]/[ ] to choose the Tone you wish to modify.

The button’s indicator of the Tone for editing starts blinking. To simultaneously modify the same parameter in two or more Tones, hold down one Tone’s TONE SELECT [1]–[4] button, press the next desired TONE SELECT [1]–[4] button, and then another if desired, and so on.

3.Press [ ] or [ ] to move the cursor to the parameter to be set.

4.Either by rotating the VALUE dial or by pressing [INC]/ [DEC], set the value.

If you have selected two or more Tones, the change you make will raise or lower the parameter’s value for all selected Tones by the same amount.

If you wish to set all selected Tones to the same value, move the cursor to the Tone that already has the desired value by

pressing [	]/[	], and while holding down [SHIFT],
press the VALUE dial.		Chap.4

* If you make a mistake when setting a parameter’s value, or you don’t like the change you have made, just press [UNDO] to restore the original value of the parameter.

5. If you wish to edit other parameters, press [ ]/[ ] to select the desired parameter.

6.Repeat Steps 2–5 to adjust the parameter’s value.

7.To exit the Palette page, press [F6].

[F6] will display the Tone number to which you will return when pressing the button.

8.Press [EXIT] to return to the PATCH PLAY page.

Tips for Selecting a Waveform

Because the XV-5080 is designed to create completely realistic sounds, the editing process depends heavily on the complex PCM waveforms upon which Tones are based. Therefore, if you try to create a sound that is totally different from the waveform(s) you’re working with, the desired result may be difficult or impossible to achieve.

The XV-5080’s internal waveforms fall into the following two groups.

One-shot:These waveforms contain sounds that have short decays. A one-shot waveform records the initial rise and fall of its sound. Some of the XV-5080’s one-shot waveforms are sounds that are complete in themselves, such as percussive instrument sounds. The XV-5080 also contains many other one-shot waveforms that are elements of other sounds. These include attack components such as piano-hammer sounds and guitar fret noises.

Looped: These waveforms include sounds with long decays as well as sustained sounds. With looped waveforms, the latter part of the sound plays over and over for as long as the note is held, allowing wave memory to be used more efficiently. The XV-5080’s looped waveforms also include components of other sounds, such as piano-string resonant vibrations and the hollow sounds of brass instruments.
