Chapter 1 Selecting and Playing a Sound
sound generators are capable of reliably playing back music
files that carry either the General MIDI or General MIDI 2
logo. In some cases, the conventional form of General MIDI,
which does not include the new enhancements, is referred to
as “General MIDI 1” as a way of distinguishing it from
General MIDI 2.
Patches, Rhythm Sets and Performances can be stored in the
following memory locations within each library group.

Selecting Sound Libraries
On the XV-5080, tone data is stored in what are called
“SOUND LIBRARY.” The SOUND LIBRARY is divided into
four “groups”: USER, CARD, PRESET, and EXP.
You can easily select the desired group simply by pressing
the SOUND LIBRARY button (USER/CARD/PRESET/EXP)
for each group.
fig.01-002.e

USER

You can store your own Patches, Rhythm Sets and
Performances in the SOUND LIBRARY’s USER group. Save
the tones that you create to this library.

CARD

This library uses sounds from a commercially available
memory card (SmartMedia) inserted into the MEMORY
CARD slot.
You can directly select Tones contained on the card — even
without loading the files into the USER memory — by
assigning banks (CD-A through CD-H) to the files on the
card.

PRESET

The PRESET library group contains the sounds that are
permanently stored in the XV-5080’s memory. Performances
are found only in PR-A and B. However, you can modify its
sounds and save them as new sounds in the USER group.

EXP (Expansion)

Select this group to use the tones stored on wave expansion
boards (SRX Series, SR-JV80 Series; sold separately) inserted
in the EXP-A through -H slots. You cannot alter the contents
of the EXP group, though you can modify its sounds and
save them as new sounds in the USER group. The number of
Patches and Rhythm Sets in the EXP group depends on the
specific wave expansion boards installed. The EXP group
contains no Performances. (Precautions When Installing
Wave Expansion Board (Quick Start; p. 3))
* It is not possible to select an EXP Patch unless a wave
expansion board is inserted into the corresponding slot.
* CARD sounds can be selected only if a SmartMedia card is
inserted into the MEMORY CARD slot.
