Messages
If you wish to use MIDI messages from an external device to
select Performances on the XV-3080, you must set the
transmission channel of the external device to match the XV-
3080’s Perform Ctrl Ch – the Performance Control channel.
* When you perform a Factory Reset operation, Perform Ctrl
Ch is reset to “16.” If you wish to change this, use the
following procedure.
1. Press [SYSTEM] to make its indicator light.

<Equal Temperament>
This scale divides an octave into 12 equal parts using the
tuning system that is most widely used in Western
music.
<Pure Temperament (Tonic is C)>
With this tuning, the three fundamental chords sound
richer compared to equal temperament. This effect only
applies to one key, and transposition can produce less-
pleasing results.
<Arabian Scale>
In this scale, E and B are a quarter note lower and C#, F#
and G# are a quarter-note higher compared to equal
temperament. The intervals between G and B, C and E, F
and G#, Bb and C#, and Eb and F# have a natural third –
the interval between a major third and a minor third. On
the XV-3080, you can use Arabian temperament in the
three keys of G, C and F.
