Changing the Cutoff Frequency (p. 174)
Cut: Controller number 74
Changing the Resonance(p. 174)
Res: Controller number 71
Changing the Amount of Internal Chorus/
Reverb (p. 175)
Chorus: Controller number 93
Reverb: Controller number 91
Changing the Pitch (p. 175)
Coarse: Controller number 100 (value is 0), Controller
number 101 (value is 2), Controller number 6 (value is
16112)
Fine: Controller number 100 (value is 0), Controller
number 101 (value is 1), Controller number 6 (value is
3296), Controller number 38 (value is 0127)
* When changing the Coarse parameter, set the amount of
change in pitch with the Control Number 6 (Data Entry
MSB) value. There is no change in pitch when the value is set
to “64.” The pitch is raised as the value increases from 64, and
is lowered the more the value decreases below 64.
* When changing the Fine parameter, set the amount of change
in pitch with the Control Number 6 (Data Entry MSB) and
Control Number 38 (Data Entry LSB) settings. There is no
change in pitch when Data Entry MSB is set to “64” and
Data Entry LSB to “0.” The pitch is raised as the respective
values increase, and lowered as the respective values decrease.
Specifying the Range of Pitch Bend (p. 175)
BendRng: Controller number 100 (value is 0), Controller

Procedure
1. Enable the external MIDI device to send a Control
Change message.
For example, if you want to change the volume level, set the
external MIDI device to send Control Number 7 (Volume
message). In this case, the MIDI channel is matched to the
MIDI channel of the Part the volume of which you want to
change.
* For information on how to make the settings, refer to the
owner’s manual for your external MIDI device.
2. Operate the external MIDI device (adjust the controls,
play back using the sequencer, etc.) to send the settings.
* Not only is the actual sound played changed, but the values
appearing in the display are changed as well.
About RPN
RPN (Registered Parameter Number) is an extension
message prepared by Control Change message.
Use RPN when using an external MIDI device to change
the XV-3080s Pitch or Pitch Bend range settings. An
RPN has an superior part (RPN MSB) and a subordinate
part (RPN LSB). The RPN MSB (Control Number 101)
informs the XV-3080 that a setting using RPN is to
follow, and the RPN LSB (Control Number 100) value
tells the which parameter is to be set. Lastly, the Data
Entry (Control Change 6) value sets the degree of
change.
Once the XV-3080 has been received an RPN parameter,
all further Data Entry messages on that MIDI channel are
considered to apply to that parameter. In order to
prevent accidents, when the desired setting has been
made for the parameter, it is recommended that RPN be
set to Null.
For example, to raise the pitch of a certain Part by one
half-step (semitone) send the following Control Change
message from the external MIDI device.
Controller number 100: value 0
Controller number 101: value 2
Controller number 6: value 65
Controller number 100: value 127 RPN null
Controller number 101: value 127 RPN null
For more detailed information about RPN, please refer to
the MIDI Implementation (p. 173).
