Press the [PATCH FINDER] button, extinguishing the indicator.
What is a Patch? On the XV-5080, the basic unit of sound used in performances is called a Patch. There are two types of Patches, Four-Tone Patches and Multi-Partial Patches. A single Four-Tone Patch can be created by combining up to four different tones. Although a Patch could consist of only a single tone, using multiple tones allows you to create Patches with more complexity and vividness. Not only can you get fat, rich sounds by layering sounds using the internal Patches already available with the XV-5080 as is, you can also enjoy a high degree of control in creating sounds, for example having different tones sound depending on the range used, or the strength with which the keys are played. Furthermore, the XV-5080s parameters are arranged in sets for even more effective management of elements used in editing Patches, including the manner in which sounds are output, control of the outputs, and effects processing. Multi-Partial Patches are made up of constituent sounds called Partials, which are assigned to a maximum of 88 keys and contain the settings for the parameters needed for the performance. When loading S-700 Series Patches to the XV-5080 from a CD-ROM or other source, these are automatically treated as Multi-Partial Patches.

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.00-022.e

USER (User Memory)
This is the XV-5080s group of internal rewritable tones. Save the tones that you create to this library.

CARD (Memory Card)

This library uses sounds from a commercially available memory card (SmartMedia) inserted into the MEMORY CARD slot. When saving a file to the card, you can directly select Tones contained on the card even without loading the files into the USER memory by specifying the Bank (CD-A through CD-H). (Saving All Data to Memory Card, Owners Manual; p. 195)
CARD can be selected only if a formatted memory card is inserted in the MEMORY CARD slot.

PRESET (Preset Memory)

The PRESET library group contains the sounds that are permanently stored in the XV-5080s memory.
EXP (Wave Expansion Board)
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. To select an installed wave expansion board, press the [A][H] button. The EXP-A through EXP-D slots are for cards from the SR-JV80 Series. The EXP-E through EXP-H slots are for SRX Series boards.
It is not possible to select EXP unless a wave expansion board is inserted into the corresponding slot.
Playing Sounds Using a MIDI Keyboard
Now, try connecting your MIDI keyboard and playing sounds from the XV5080.

Press the [EFFECTS ON/OFF] button, getting its indicator light to go out.
MFX (Multi-effects) The Multi-effects offers 90 different effects. In addition to effects constructed with individual effect processors, such as distortion and delay, the 90 types also include a number of compound effect types created by combining simpler 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; you can simultaneously turn all of the Multi-effects on and off using this operation.

Chorus Chorus adds depth and spaciousness to the sound. Reverb Reverb is an effect that adds reverberation resembling that created when sounds are played in a hall. EQ An equalizer lets you boost or cut specified frequency ranges of a sound to adjust the tone. * Although you can add equalization to each of the XV-5080s output jacks, this operation turns the EQ for all of the outputs on and off simultaneously.
Lets Play Sounds From a Sampler Library
Now lets try loading a sampler library (such as the optional L-CDX Series) into the XV-5080 and playing some sounds. Playing sampler libraries with the XV-5080 requires a SCSI-type CD-ROM drive, and commercially available SIMMs (memory modules). * At least 16 MB (32 MB or more recommended) of additional memory is required.
Installing the SIMM (Memory Module)
Loading commercial sampler libraries into the XV-5080 requires installation of a SIMM memory module. The XV-5080 is equipped with two slots for SIMMs, allowing you to expand memory capacity by 128 MB (with two 64megabyte SIMMs installed). SIMMs for use with the XV-5080 must match the following specifications. Number of pins: 72 Access time: 60 ns or faster Access protocol: FPM or EDO Voltage: 5 V Capacity: 64 MB/32 MB/16 MB (can be mixed) * Both parity and non-parity are supported. SIMM Hight: 36 mm or lower
The Akai S1000/3000 CDROM sound libraries can also be loaded. For more on this, Chapter 7 Loading Each Type of Data in the Owners Manual.
Cautions When Installing SIMM
To avoid the risk of damage to internal components that can be caused by static electricity, please carefully observe the following whenever you handle the board. Before you touch the board, always first grasp a metal object (such as a water pipe), so you are sure that any static electricity you might have been carrying has been discharged. When handling the board, grasp it only by its edges. Avoid touching any of the electronic components or connectors. Save the bag in which the board was originally shipped, and put the board back into it whenever you need to store or transport it. Use a Philips screwdriver that is suitable for the size of the screw. If an unsuitable screwdriver is used, the head of the screw may be stripped. To remove a screw, rotate the screwdriver counter-clockwise. To tighten the screws, rotate the screwdriver clockwise.

Supplemental Note

SN 131, v1.00 Faxback # 21112
Selecting Internal and SR-JV80 Sounds Via MIDI
You can add to the amazing sounds of Roland's XV-5080, XV-3080, XV-88, and Fantom synthesizers by installing Rolands SR-JV80- or SRX-Series expansion boards. (The XV-5050, XV-2020, Fantom-S, and Fantom-X synths use SRX expansion boards exclusively.) You can select sounds on an XV or Fantom synth from its front panel or via MIDI messages sent from an external sequencer. In the case of the XV-5080 and XV-3080, you may also want to select sounds from a separate MIDI keyboard. MIDI sound-selection has a couple of advantages. First, you can be sure that your synth will always play the sounds you want because your sequencer (or MIDI controller performance) will remember which ones they are. Second, MIDI allows you to select sounds regardless of how physically close you actually are to your synththis is especially handy if you own an XV-5080 or XV-3080 that's mounted in a rack somewhere out of reach.
Throughout this document, youll come across information thats labeled with one of the following symbols. A note is something that adds information about the topic at hand. A tip offers suggestions for using the feature being discussed.

SR-JV80 Sounds and MIDI Messages
Roland has permanently assigned MIDI Bank Select and Program Change messages to each XV-or Fantom-compatible patch and rhythm set. This new system simplifies MIDI soundselection, especially when you use someone elses synth. (Of course, theyll still need to have the required sound expansion boards installed.) When you send Bank Select and Program Change messages to any of the XV or Fantom synth's 16 parts, the corresponding sound or rhythm set is selected. Expansionboard sounds are properly found and selected no matter where your expansion boards are installed. Each part responds to MIDI data received on a specific MIDI channel. See the synths documentation to learn about parts. This document provides an overview of how Bank Select and Program Change messages work, and lists the MIDI messages that select each XV or Fantom patch and rhythm set. To learn about the selection of SRX-Series expansion board sounds via MIDI, see the Supplemental Note (SN) 132, Selecting Internal and SRX-Series Sounds Via MIDI.
Select values by name, while others show them as CC00 values. CC00 stands for Control Change Number 00. Once the synth knows the type of bank you want, you can select the bank using the LSB (Least Significant Byte) Bank Select message. Each bank has been assigned its own LSB value. Some sequencers and controllers show LSB Bank Select values as CC32 values.
The charts in this document list the bank to which each SR-JV80 patch and rhythm set belongs , as well as the bank MSB and LSB values for the internal XV-5080, XV-3080, XV-88 and Fantom sounds. Each patch and rhythm set has its own Program Change number, from 1-128. Once you've selected the desired bank, you select a patch or rhythm set by sending the synth its Program Change value. Some sequencers and controllers abbreviate Program Change as PC. Bank Select and Program Change messages must always be sent in the proper order: 1. The Bank Select MSB value tells the synth the type of bank you want. 2. The Bank Select LSB value selects the individual bank to which the desired sound belongs. 3. The Program Change value selects the patch or rhythm set itself. If a part is already using a sound from the bank that contains the sound you want to select, you can save time by sending the synth the new sound's Program Change value without sending any Bank Select messages. Leave some blank spaceone measure is usually enoughat the beginning of your song so the XV or Fantom will have time to call up the desired patches and rhythm sets before the music actually begins.
Bank Select and Program Change Messages
The sounds in an XV or Fantom are organized into banks. Each bank can contain up to 128 sounds. Before you can select an individual sound via MIDI, you have to select its bank. Banks are selected using two MIDI Control Change messages: The MSB (for Most Significant Byte) Bank Select message signifies the type of bank you want to select. For example, an MSB value of 87 tells the XV or Fantom that you want to choose an internal patch bank. A value of 89 selects a patch bank on an SR-JV80 Series of expansion board, and so on. Some sequencers and controllers show MSB Bank

Learning a Patchs Program Change Value
SR-JV80 boards can have up to 256 patches. Patches 1-128 can be selected using Program Change values 1-128, respectively. To figure out the Program Change value a higher-numbered patch, subtract 128 from the patchs number. For example, to select SR-JV80-9s Patch 75, Nashville, youd use: Message Bank Select MSB/CC00 Bank Select LSB/CC32 Program Change/PC Value 75
sounds by manually placing the necessary Bank Select and Program Change messages at the desired time location(s) on the sequencer's tracks. When the sequencer plays back the messages, the desired patch or rhythm set will be selected. The charts in the remaining sections of this document list the required messages for each patch and rhythm set. Certain sequencers select banks by combining the MSB and LSB into one single MIDI Bank Select message. They do so using the equation (MSB x 128) + LSB. The last column in the charts in this document lists these values for you. Check your sequencer's documentation to learn if it uses a combined MIDI Bank Select message. A sequencer will either use standard Bank Select messages or a MIDI Bank Select valueit will not use both.
To select SR-JV80-14s Patch 200, Kashmir, youd send: Message Bank Select MSB/CC00 Bank Select LSB/CC32 Program Change/PC Value 44

How Sequencers Select Sounds
Some sequencers may offer patch lists that let you to select XV sounds without having to be concerned with Bank Select and Program Changes messages at allthe patch lists themselves make sure that the proper MIDI messages get sent. If you use one of these sequencers, configure it for use with your XV Series synth. Once you do, you'll be able to select XV patches and rhythm sets by name right from the sequencer. If your sequencer doesn't use patch lists, you can select
