Chapter 5 Creating a Performance
Creating Performances
In the XV-3080’s Performance mode, you can play and
control up to 16 instrument sounds at the same time,
including Patches and/or Rhythm Sets. Such a set of sounds,
as well as an effect setup, can be saved as a “Performance.”
Each Performance is comprised of 16 “Parts,” each of which
controls one of its sounds. Because the XV-3080 sound
generator can play multiple sounds at the same time, it’s
called a “multitimbral sound generator.”

Using the XV-3080 as a
Multitimbral Sound Generator
In Performance mode, you can use the XV-3080 as a 16-part
multitimbral sound generator. Let’s try selecting some Parts
and sounds, and then play the multiple Parts together as a
Performance.
The basic steps for doing this include:
• Choosing the Parts to Play (p. 102)
• Selecting A Patches to the Parts (p. 104)
• setting the Parts’ MIDI reception channels (p. 106).
After you have completed setting up your Performance, try
playing a sequence from your computer or sequencer using
the Performance’s sounds.
Choosing the Parts to Play
Turn on each Part you wish to use.
1. Select the Performance you wish to use.
2. Press [RX] to make the indicator light.
3. Use PART SELECT [1/9]–[8/16] to switch each Part on –
so that its indicator lights – or off so that its indicator
goes dark.
To turn Parts 9–16 on or off, press [1-8/9-16] to make the
indicator light, and then press PART SELECT [1/9]–[8/16].
4. Press [RX] to make its indicator turn off.
* This setting is linked with the Rx Sw setting (PART MIDI
page).
* If the [RX] indicator is lit when an active Part receives a MIDI
message, the Part’s indicator will blink.
