Chapter 2 Using the XV-5080 Effects
The XV-5080 contains four independent effects units.
Multi-effects
The Multi-effects offers 90 different effects. In addition to
effects consisting of only one effect, such as distortion and
delay, the 90 types also include a number of compound
effects, which are formed by combining a number of effects.
Furthermore, the multi-effects effect types also include
chorus and reverb, although the chorus and reverb described
below can be applied as separate effects systems. The XV-
5080 features three Multi-effects systems in Performance
mode, with each multi-effect independently controllable.
Chorus
Chorus adds depth and spaciousness to the sound.
Reverb
Reverb adds ambience — such as the sound of a concert hall
or auditorium—to sounds.
Equalizer
An equalizer lets you boost or cut specified frequency ranges
of a sound to adjust the tone.
* Equalizer is set in System mode (p. 211).

Turning Effects On/Off

You can turn any of the XV-5080’s effect units—Multi-effects,
Chorus, Reverb, and EQ—on or off using a single procedure.
1. Press the [EFFECTS ON/OFF] button.
The EFFECTS On/Off window will appear.
fig.02-001.e_70
2. ress the [F2]–[F5] button corresponding to the effect to
switch that effect on or off.
The display of the setting will be turned on and off.
3. Press the [EFFECTS ON/OFF] button, getting its
indicator light to go out.
You might, for example, want to turn effects off when
creating a new Patch so that you can hear what it sounds like
without effects. You may also want to turn off the XV-5080’s
effects when you wish to use external effect devices instead
of the built-in effects.

Patch Mode Settings

You can make separate Multi-effects, chorus, and reverb
settings to each Four-Tone Patch and Multi-Partial Patch,
with the same effects applied to each Tone or Partial. You can
control the amount of effect to be applied to each Tone or
Partial by adjusting its send level with respect to the Multi-
effects, Chorus and Reverb.

Preliminarily, the settings for effects involves determining
Tone Output Assign for Four-Tone Patches, and Split Key
Output Assign for Multi-Partial Patches.
In keeping with the intended usage, choose from the
following setting values for Tone Output Assign.
MFX: Selected when the Multi-effects, chorus, and reverb are
used.
A-D: Selected when outputting in stereo without use of the
Multi-effects. Chorus and reverb can be used.
1-8: Selected when outputting in mono without Multi-
effects. Chorus and reverb can be used. When this setting is
used, chorus and reverb sounds are output in stereo
according to the Chorus Output Assign and Reverb Output
Assign settings.
