Chapter 6 Creating Rhythm Sets

WAVE

Group (Wave Group)

Selects the group for the waveform that is to be the basis of
the Rhythm Tone.
Available Settings:
INT: Waveform stored in the XV-5080’s memory.
XP-A–H: Waveform on the wave expansion boards A–H.
* It is not possible to select a Group of a Wave Expansion Board
that is not installed.
SAMPLE: Samples (Wave data) loaded into the SIMM
(memory module) from a sampler library or other source.

L (Wave Number L)

Range: 1–****
Selects the waveform that forms the basis of a Rhythm Tone.
You can choose a separate waveform for each of the XV-
5080’s left channel.

R (Wave Number R)

Range: 1–****
Selects the waveform that forms the basis of a Rhythm Tone.
You can choose a separate waveform for each of the XV-
5080’s right channel.
* By holding down [SHIFT] and pressing [F6], you can rapidly
switch between STEREO and MONO tones.

Tempo Sync

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

Gain & Level

Gain (Wave Gain)

Range: -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.

Level (Wave Level)

Range: 0–127
Adjusts the volume of each of the Rhythm Tone’s waveforms
to establish the desired volume balance between the waves.
* The volume of the Rhythm Tone is set by the Tone Level
setting (Rhythm TVA Parameter page), and the Wave Level
setting is multiplied to this setting. (p. 177)

Pan

Range: L64–63R
Establishes the stereo location of the waveform. L64 is far
left, 0 is center, and 63R is far right.
The pan of the Rhythm Tone is set by the Tone Pan setting
(Rhythm TVA Parameter page), and the Wave Pan setting is
added to this setting. (p. 178)

Random (Wave Random Pan Switch)

Use this setting to cause the waveform’s panning to change
randomly each time a key is pressed (ON) or not (OFF).
The stereo width of the change is set by the Random Pan
Depth setting (Rhythm TVA Parameter page). (p. 178)

Alternate (Wave Alternate Pan Switch)

Use this setting to cause the waveform’s stereo position to
flip from the left to the right each time a key is pressed (ON)
or not (OFF).
The stereo width of the change is set by the Alternate Pan
Depth setting (Rhythm TVA Parameter page). (p. 178)
Tune

Coarse (Wave Coarse Tune)

Range: -48– +48
Adjusts the Wave pitch in semitone steps over a range of +/-
4 octaves.

Fine (Wave Fine Tune)

Range: -50– +50
Adjusts the pitch of the Wave in one-cent steps (1/100th of a
semitone) over a range of half a semitone up or down.
FXM

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.
