Main Features
■ 128-Voice Polyphony and 16-Part Multitimbrality
The XV-3080 is a 16-part multitimbral sound generator that produces up to 128 simultaneous polyphonic voices. It provides
ample polyphony, even with Patches containing multiple Tones.
■ High-Performance Built-In Effects
Advanced DSP (Digital Signal Processor) technology provides a wide array of studio-quality effects. The XV-3080 offers three
internal effect units: Multi-Effects, featuring 63 different effect types, Chorus and Reverb.
■ Create Amazingly Expressive Tones
With Patches containing four stereo Tones, as well as four-Tone instruments in Rhythm Sets -- you can use up to a total of eight
wave types -- the XV-3080 takes you the next step beyond Roland's previous generation of JV-Series modules, providing even
more precise control and allowing you to create lusher, more expressive sounds.
■ Supports General MIDI system Level 2
The XV-3080 provides a mode compatible with General MIDI System Level 2, the standard format for desktop music (DTM)
systems. The upwardly compatible General MIDI 2 standards pick up where the original General MIDI standard left off, offering
enhanced expressive capabilities and even greater compatibility. You can play back commercially available General MIDI-
compatible song data (p. 141).
■ Greater Expansion Possibilities with the New-Format Wave
Expansion Boards
The XV-3080 accepts up to two of Roland's new-format Wave Expansion Boards (SRX Series, sold separately). In addition, you can
add four previous-generation Wave Expansion Boards (SR-JV Series, sold separately). (Quick Start p. 2)
All of this provides you unprecedented power in creating sounds from a massive amount of waveform data.
■ Featuring the Patch Finder and Phrase Preview Functions
The XV-3080 provides a Patch Finder function that allows you to quickly find Patches of a specified type or category. (Patch
