Roland XP-80 Musical Instrument User Manual


 
The sample song you’ve just recorded uses a preset Performance. However, that Performance’s
settings may not be ideal for your song. This section will explain how you can modify the
Performance to better suit your song. Different aspects of a Performance can be modified, but
as an example, let’s change the Patch “PR-A:001 64voice Piano” that is selected for the melody.
Then we’ll modify the name of the Performance and save the new settings.
