Chapter 1 Selecting and Playing a Sound
Auditioning Sounds on the
XV-3080 (Phrase Preview)
The Phrase Preview feature allows you to audition Patches
on the XV-3080 even when it’s not connected to a MIDI
keyboard or sequencer. You can preview a Patch using a
Phrase that’s appropriate to the Patch’s type or category.
1. Press [PATCH] to make its indicator light.
2. Turn the VALUE dial, or press [INC]/[DEC] to select the
desired Patch.
3. Press and hold the VOLUME knob.
The Patch plays its preview Phrase for as long as the knob is
held down.
* When you preview a Rhythm Set, the XV-3080 plays a
percussion Phrase. Phrase Preview also allows you to audition
a Performance – when you preview a Performance, you hear a
Phrase appropriate to the currently selected Part.
* A USER Patch or a Patch from an optional Wave Expansion
Board (SRX/SR-JV80 series) may not preview in its normal
pitch range. If this occurs, press [ ] or [ ] (Octave Shift
function p. 20) to select the desired pitch range.
* If the pitch range of a Phrase is wider than the range of the
Tones within a Patch (p. 87, or wider than the range of a Part
within a Performance (p. 104), any notes in the Phrase that
fall outside that range will not be heard.
