Chapter 8 Saving Tones and Other Data You’ve Created

Saving Edits to the XV- 5080’s Internal Memory (Write)

If you turn the power off or select another Patch, Performance, or Rhythm Set after you have modified a Patch, Performance or Rhythm Set, the changes you have made will be lost. If you wish to preserve the data, store it into the XV- 5080’s USER memory.

The following number of Patches, Performances, and Rhythm Sets can be saved in internal memory:

128 Patches, 64 Performances, and 4 Rhythm Sets

*When saving tones that use samples loaded to the SIMM, you must carry out the Write operation, then save all the data, including the data in the SIMM, to the memory card or Zip disk (p. 195, p. 200).

*By selecting a file (.SVD) with CARD or XV-5080 settings saved in Step 5, you can then save directly to the memory card.

1.Make sure the Patch, Performance, or Rhythm Set that you wish to save is selected.

2.Press [SYSTEM/UTILITY], getting its indicator to start blinking.

*If the indicator is steadily lit, you are in SYSTEM mode. Press [SYSTEM/UTILITY] once again, so the indicator is blinking.

3.Press [F6 (Menu)] to select Menu 1.

4.Press [F1 (Write)].

The Write page will appear.

5.Either by rotating the VALUE dial, or by pressing [INC]/ [DEC], select the save destination.

*When saving a Patch or Rhythm Set, you can use the Compare function to check the sound of the Patch or Rhythm Set at the save destination. (p. 194)

*If saving to a CARD, select the save destination file. In this case, the Patch, Performance, or Rhythm Set is overwritten on the card. If there is no file, use the SAVE procedure (p. 195, p. 200) to save the entire internal memory.

*Files (.SVD) created on devices or instruments other than the XV-5080 are not displayed when data is being written.

6.Press [F6 (Execute)], and the material will be saved. You are then returned to the PLAY page.

7.If you wish to cancel the save procedure, press [EXIT].

The message “Write Protect ON” may appear in a window. If you want to continue with the save, press [DEC] to set Write Protect to “OFF,” and press [F6 (OK)] to close the window.

Then press [F6 (Execute)] once more to execute the save. Once set to “OFF,” Write Protect remains disabled until the power to the instrument is turned off.

* In step 5, you can press the VALUE dial (SOUND LIST) and select the save destination from the list.

•When a memory card is inserted in the slot, press [F2] to display Sound List (Card), then press [-Bank] or [+Bank] to switch the bank.

•Press the VALUE dial (SOUND LIST) or [F6 (Execute)] to execute saving. Press [EXIT] to return to the normal display.

Compare Function (Patch/Rhythm Set)

The Compare function allows you to play the Patch/ Rhythm Set currently stored in the selected memory location so that you can make sure you really want to overwrite it. To play the stored Patch/Rhythm Set, press [F1 (Compare)] to display the Patch Compare/Rhythm Compare page.

You can select the write destination in this display as well. After selecting the write-destination Patch/Rhythm Set, press [F1 (Write)] or [EXIT] to return to the Write page.

*Please be aware that when the Compare function is used to play a Patch/Rhythm Set, it may sound slightly different than when it is played normally.
