5. Press [ ]/[ ]/[ ]/[ ] to move the cursor to
the parameter you want to set.
6. Turn the VALUE dial or press [INC]/[DEC] to select the
desired value.
* If you make a mistake when setting a parameter’s value, or you
don’t like the change you have made, just press [UNDO] to
restore the original value of the parameter.
7. Repeat Steps 2–6 to finish setting up the Patch.
8. Press [EXIT] to return to the PATCH PLAY page.
A “*” symbol will appear at the left of the Patch name,
indicating that its settings have been modified.

* If you turn off the power or select another Patch while the “*”
symbol is displayed, your new Patch settings will be lost. If
you wish to keep these settings, perform the Save operation. (p.

Palette Function
When editing a Tone, you can simultaneously view the
settings of all four of its Tones by pressing [F6 (Palette)].
1. When modifying a Tone, press [F6 (Palette)] to call up
the Tone Palette page.
fig.04-029.e_70
2. Press a TONE SELECT [1]–[4] button, [ ]/[ ] to
choose the Tone you wish to modify.
The button’s indicator of the Tone for editing starts blinking.
To simultaneously modify the same parameter in two or
more Tones, hold down one Tone’s TONE SELECT [1]–[4]
button, press the next desired TONE SELECT [1]–[4] button,
and then another if desired, and so on.
3. Press [ ] or [ ] to move the cursor to the parameter
to be set.
4. Either by rotating the VALUE dial or by pressing [INC]/
[DEC], set the value.
If you have selected two or more Tones, the change you
make will raise or lower the parameter’s value for all selected
Tones by the same amount.
If you wish to set all selected Tones to the same value, move
the cursor to the Tone that already has the desired value by
pressing [ ]/[ ], and while holding down [SHIFT],
press the VALUE dial.
* If you make a mistake when setting a parameter’s value, or you
don’t like the change you have made, just press [UNDO] to
restore the original value of the parameter.
5. If you wish to edit other parameters, press [ ]/[ ] to
select the desired parameter.
6. Repeat Steps 2–5 to adjust the parameter’s value.
7. To exit the Palette page, press [F6].
[F6] will display the Tone number to which you will return
when pressing the button.
8. Press [EXIT] to return to the PATCH PLAY page.
Tips for Selecting a Waveform
Because the XV-5080 is designed to create completely
realistic sounds, the editing process depends heavily on the
complex PCM waveforms upon which Tones are based.
Therefore, if you try to create a sound that is totally different
from the waveform(s) you’re working with, the desired
result may be difficult or impossible to achieve.
The XV-5080’s internal waveforms fall into the following two
groups.
One-shot: These waveforms contain sounds that have short
decays. A one-shot waveform records the initial rise and fall
of its sound. Some of the XV-5080’s one-shot waveforms are
sounds that are complete in themselves, such as percussive
instrument sounds. The XV-5080 also contains many other
one-shot waveforms that are elements of other sounds. These
include attack components such as piano-hammer sounds
and guitar fret noises.
Looped: These waveforms include sounds with long decays
as well as sustained sounds. With looped waveforms, the
latter part of the sound plays over and over for as long as the
note is held, allowing wave memory to be used more
efficiently. The XV-5080’s looped waveforms also include
components of other sounds, such as piano-string resonant
vibrations and the hollow sounds of brass instruments.
