Chapter 6 Creating Rhythm Sets

Setting up Individual Rhythm Tones

The parameters that can be set for each Rhythm Tone of the Rhythm Set are assigned to [F2]–[F5] as follows.

[F2 (Key WG)]

[F1 (WG Prm)] Selecting waveforms, FXM, Pan, or Tuning (p. 171)

[F2 (Pitch)] Pitch (p. 173)

[F3 (Pch Env)] Pitch Envelope (p. 173)

[F4 (V.Range)] WMT Velocity Range (p. 174)

[F5 (Sample)] Sample Edit (p. 174)

[F3 (Key TVF)]

[F1 (TVF Prm)] modifies the brightness using the filter (p. 175)

[F2 (TVF Env)] TVF envelope (p. 177)

[F4 (Key TVA)]

[F1 (TVA Prm)] Changes the volume (p. 177)

[F2 (TVA Env)] TVA envelope (p. 178)

[F5 (Key Ctl)]

Other Settings (p. 179)

Setting Procedure:

1.Select the Rhythm Set you wish to set.

2.Press [F2]–[F5], whichever has the parameter you wish to set assigned to it, and select the display group.

With some display groups, you then press [F1]–[F4] to access the desired page.

3.Press Tone Select [1]–[4] to select the percussion instrument sound you wish to edit, according to the key that plays it.

TONE SELECT [1]: Selects the key one octave below the currently selected key.

TONE SELECT [2]: Selects the key a semitone below the currently selected key.

TONE SELECT [3]: Selects the key a semitone above the currently selected key.

TONE SELECT [4]: Selects the key one octave above the currently selected key.

*You can also press a key on a connected MIDI keyboard to select the desired percussion instrument sound (key). (p. 168)

*By holding down [SHIFT] and pressing [ ], you can have

the cursor jump to the number indicating the part in the upper left of the screen. Here, you can switch parts by turning the VALUE dial, or by pressing [INC] or [DEC].

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

5.Either 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 value the parameter originally had.

6.Repeat steps 2–5 to complete a Rhythm Set.

7.Press [EXIT] to return to the RHYTHM PLAY page.

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

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

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
