Connecting Two or More XV-
3080s to Increase Polyphony
The Stack function allows you to combine two or more XV-
3080 units to increase the number of voices that can be
played simultaneously. You can connect and use up to eight
XV-3080s.
fig.8-02.e
Stack Mode OFF/2–8
When using more than one XV-3080, set this parameter to 2–
8. When not using the Stack feature, set the parameter to
OFF.
If Stack mode is turned off, the Stack function will not
operate, and each XV-3080 will attempt to sound all of the
note messages which it receives.
Stack Number 1–8
When the Stack feature is enabled, this parameter selects the
XV-3080 that is to function as the primary/first unit – this is
the XV-3080 that will sound the first 128 voices.
* The Stack function will not operate when using Patches in
which KEY MODE Assign is set to MONO or whose
PORTAMNT (Portamento) Switch is on (PATCH KEY
MODE page), or for Rhythm Sets. Patches for which the KEY
MODE Assign is MONO or whose PORTAMNT
(Portamento) Switch is on will be sounded by the first XV-
3080, and Rhythm Sets will be sounded by the second XV-
3080.

need to specify the parameters to be controlled.

carefully the ramifications when choosing controllers.
