Data Transmission to a Memory
Card
XV-3080 can use a commercially available memory
card.(SmartMedia; Both 3.3 V and 5 V are supported.)
Use this card when you wish to save data for which there is
no more space in the internal USER group, or so that the data
you created can be used on another XV-3080.
Memory card must be formatted before they can be used.
■ Before Using a Memory Card
* Insert memory cards with the gold contacts facing downwards.
* Be sure to insert the memory card all the way into the slot.
* Do not touch the contacts of the memory card or allow them to
become soiled.
* Never remove the memory card or turn off the power while an
operation – such as reading or writing data, or formatting – is
being performed on the memory card. Doing so can destroy the
data in the memory card and/or render the memory card itself
unusable.
* If you affix the write-protect label to the write-protect area of
the memory card, you will not be able to format the card or
write data to it. If you wish to format the card or write data to
it, do so without the label affixed. For details on the write-
protect sticker, refer to the owner’s manual for your memory
card.
* If you attempt to format a card or write data to it when the
write-protect label is affixed, the following message will
appear.

Transmitting to a Memory Card (SAVE)
The Patch, Performance, Rhythm Set, and System settings in
internal memory can be saved as a single file to a memory
card, with the name you specify.
Saved files are registered to the Sound Library CARD A-H,
and can be managed just like those in PRESET.

its file number.
5. Press [ENTER] to execute the save operation.
* Data files contain an entire set of parameter settings for the
sound generator. It is not possible to save individual Patches
or Performances to a memory card.
* The number of files that can be saved on a card will depend on
the memory capacity of the card itself.
Changes in the registration of the groups (CD-A through CD-
H) are made in the CARD INFO page (p. 127).
Transmitting Data Into the XV-3080
Memory (Load)
A data file containing Patch, Performance, Rhythm Set and
System settings can be loaded into the XV-3080.
Loading a file will overwrite data currently resident in the
Temporary memory. To preserve the existing data, save it to
