Roland XV-5080 Bend Range Part Pitch Bend Range, Voice Reserve Part Voice Reserve, 163

Bend Range (Part Pitch Bend Range)

Range: 0–48/PATCH

Sets the amount of pitch change that will occur when you move the Pitch Bend lever. The amount of change when the lever is tilted is set to the same value for both left and right sides.

When set to PATCH, the bend range settings for the assigned Patch will be put in effect.

Voice Reserve (Part Voice Reserve)

This setting specifies the number of voices that will be reserved for specific Parts when more than 128 voices are played simultaneously.

*It is not possible for the settings of all Parts to total an amount greater than 128. The remaining number of available voices will be displayed to the left of this value (Rest=). You should check this readout as you set the Voice Reserve parameter.

Calculating the Number of Voices Being Used

The number of notes that the XV-5080 can sound simultaneously depends on the number of Tones in the Patches you are using, and the number of keys being pressed. For example, if you play one note using a Patch that consists of only one Tone, you will use up one voice of polyphony. XV-5080 tones can use two Waves, and when Patches are composed of these tones, this doubles the two sounds. When two keys are pressed, and the Patch for each key pressed uses four tones, each having two Waves, a total of sixteen voices is used.

This number is obtained by figuring (the number of

tones with one Wave + the number of tones with two

Waves x 2) x the number of keys pressed.

The XV-5080 is able to play up to 128 Tones simultaneously. When you are using the XV-5080 multitimbrally, keep this in mind, and adjust your Voice Reserve settings so that each Part is guaranteed at least the minimum number of voices it requires.

Cutoff Offset (Part Cutoff Offset)

Range: -64– +63

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

Resonance Offset (Part Resonance Offset)

Range: -64– +63

Sets the relative proportion of change in the individual TVF Resonance values of the Tones in the Patch.

Attack Time Offset (Part Attack Time Offset)

Range: -64– +63

Sets the relative proportion of change in the TVF/TVA Envelope value set for each tone comprising the Patch or Rhythm Set assigned to the part.

*Patches also contain an Attack Time Offset setting. The final TVF/TVA Envelope attack time value is therefore the sum of the Tone’s TVF/TVA ENVELOPE T1 setting, the Patch’s Atk time offset, and the Part’s Atk time offset. Accordingly, if the tone’s T1 parameter is set to 127, there will be no change in the Attack Time Offset, even when this is set to a positive value.
