Roland XV-5080 owner manual FXM Frequency Cross Modulation, Tone Delay, 137

Gain (Wave Gain)

Range: -6/0/+6/+12

Specifies the gain (amplitude) of the waveform. The value changes in 6 dB (decibel) steps—an increase of 6 dB doubles the waveform’s gain. If you intend to use the Booster to distort the waveform’s sound, set this parameter to its maximum value.

Tempo Sync (Wave Tempo Sync)

Range: ON/OFF

Determines whether the waveform is synchronized (ON) or not synchronized (OFF) to the Patch’s tempo.

FXM (Frequency Cross Modulation)

FXM (Frequency Cross Modulation) uses a specified waveform to apply frequency modulation to the currently selected waveform, creating complex overtones. This can be useful when creating wilder sounds or sound effects.

Switch (Wave FXM Switch)

Range: ON/OFF

Sets whether FXM will be used (ON) or not (OFF).

Color (Wave FXM Color)

Range: 1–4

Specifies how FXM will perform its frequency modulation. Higher settings result in a grainier sound, while lower settings result in a more metallic sound.

Depth (Wave FXM Depth)

Range: 0–16

Specifies the depth of the modulation produced by FXM.

Tone Delay

Produces a time delay between the moment a key is pressed (or released) and the moment the Tone actually begins to sound. Since you can adjust the timing of each Tone in a Patch, you can create effects in which pressing a single key produces two or more sounds occurring at different times. If you do not wish to use Tone Delay, set Mode to NORMAL and Delay Time to 0.

Mode (Tone Delay Mode)

Sets the manner in which the Tone will sound.

Available Settings:

NORMAL: The Tone will sound after the specified Delay

Time.

HOLD: The Tone will only sound if the key is held for longer
than the specified Delay Time. If the key is released before
the Delay Time has elapsed, the Tone will not sound.			.4

KEY-OFF-NORMAL:The Tone will not sound while the key is being pressed, but will sound — after the specified Delay Time — when the key is released.

KEY-OFF-NORMAL

Delay time

Note on Note off

KEY-OFF-DECAY:The Tone will not sound while the key is being pressed, but will sound after the specified Delay Time when the key is released. However, for this setting — unlike KEY-OFF-N — the TVA envelope of the Tone will begin when the key is first pressed. As a result, in most cases, only the decay portion of the sound will be heard.

KEY-OFF-DECAY

Delay time

Note on Note off

If you have selected a Wave that is a decay-type sound (i.e., a sound that fades away naturally even if the key is not released), selecting KEY-OFF-NORMAL or KEY-OFF- DECAY may result in no sound being heard.
