Q&A
■ Issues Related to Connections
Q: What are the differences between the A
(MIX), B, and C OUTPUT jacks on the XV-
5080's rear panel?
A: Although (MIX) is shown only on the A OUTPUT jacks,
this is only because factory settings assign the Chorus and
Reverb Effect Return for each Tone's Send system set to A.
However, you can also have these Chorus and Reverb
Returns set to other jacks.
Q: How do I use L(MONO), and what do I
need to note when using it?
A: L(MONO) is a feature particular to the A OUTPUT jack.
When using only this L(MONO) jack, the sounds output in
stereo by the A jacks is output as a mixed monaural signal
from the L(MONO) jack. This can be convenient in cases
where you have no special need for stereo effects, as only one
cable is needed for the connection.
Do be aware that when you want to use INDIVIDUAL 1 or 2
as an independent parallel out, plugging only into the
INDIVIDUAL 1 jack enables the L(MONO) function, and the
sounds from both (INDIVIDUAL 1 and 2???) are output from
the INDIVIDUAL 1 jack. In this case, plug a cable into the
INDIVIDUAL 2 to disable the L(MONO) function.
■ Searching and Organizing Patches
Q: What do I need to note when using the
Favorite List?
A: Information specifying the Patch numbers in a particular
SOUND LIBRARY is registered to the Favorite List. Exercise
care when registering Patches from the User Memory, on
memory cards, or on Expansion Boards, since rewriting
Patches after they have been registered or changing the type
of Expansion Boards can result in a different Patch than
registered being called up. Furthermore, if you try
registering a Patch to the Favorite List while the Patch is
being edited, without first writing the edited Patch to the
USER area, the Patch data is not recorded.
Q: When can I use the Patch finder?
A: You can use this feature in the Patch selection window in
Performance mode ([PREFORM]/[Part]) and Patch mode.
For example, if you want to change the bass when selecting a
Part's Patch in Performance mode, by selecting Patches with
the bass selected as the category, you can conveniently target
only those Patches that have bass in them.
■ Expansion Boards
Q: If the Expansion Board is reinstalled in a
different slot, do Program Change and Bank
Select numbers also change?
A: Since fixed Bank Select numbers are assigned to the board
itself, Bank Select numbers and Program Changes do not
change, even when the slot position changes.
For more on the assignments, refer to <Table 1: Bank Select
and Program Change Correspondence Chart> (p. 13).
Q: When can I use more than one of the same
type of Expansion Board?
A: You can't.
■ Playback of Sampler Data (CD-ROM
and Otherwise)
Q: What data can be loaded and used?
A: You can use the following kinds of data.
• S-700 Series Tone Data
After being loaded in Volumes, Performances, Patches,
Partials, or Samples, the data can then be used.
• AKAI S1000/3000 Tone Data
Data may be used after loading in Program or Sample
units.
• WAV/AIFF
Files may be loaded as Samples for use.
Q: Can I load stereo WAV and AIFF files?
A: Yes. When loaded, these are split into two as Left and
Right waves.
Q: When loading S-700 Series data to the XV-
5080, how do S-700 Series, JV, and XV Patch
parameters differ in composition?
A: The XV-5080 handles two types of Patches, those for the S-
700 Series and then the JV/XV Patches. You can display and
edit parameters for each of these two corresponding Patch
types on the XV-5080.
* Patches created by previous Roland models, including
those of the JV Series, the XV-88/3080, and SRX and SR-JV80
Wave Expansion Boards are Four-Tone Patches (composed of
four tones), whereas sampler Patches such as those for the S-
700 Series are call Multi-Partial Patches (composed of
multiple Partials).
