Silencing specific instruments 1 (Muting

Phrase tracks)

If you wish to silence specific instruments during playback,

you can mute the appropriate Phrase track containing that

performance data.

✳ It is not possible to use this procedure to mute Phrase

tracks when quick playing Standard MIDI Files or

when the Phrase track contains performance data of

multiple instruments (channels). Follow the procedure

discussed in the “Silencing specific instruments 2”

below.

✳ Note that if you save a song with a Phrase track muted

in the Standard MIDI File format, that Phrase track’s

data will not be saved. If you save a song that has a

muted Phrase track in the MRC Pro song format, the

mute status of the track will also be saved.

❶ Make sure that the Play display (SEQ(Song)) is up.

❷ Move the cursor to a position other than “TRK” or

“PART.”

❸ Press TRACK/PART [1]–[16] to make the button indi-

cators of your selected Phrase track(s) to be muted go

off.

❹ To play the muted Phrase track, press the appropriate

button from TRACK/PART [1]–[16] again to make its

indicator light.

To play only a specific Phrase track, hold down [SHIFT] as

you press the appropriate button from TRACK/PART

[1]–[16] to light its indicator. Pressing TRACK/PART

[1]–[16] while holding down [SHIFT] again will play all

Phrase tracks.

✳ The button indicator of the Phrase track containing no

performance data is always kept off, meaning that the

track cannot be played.

Silencing specific instruments 2 (Turning

the Receive channel off)

If you wish to silence specific instruments during quick play

of a Standard MIDI File or during playback of a song with

multiple instrument (MIDI channels) performance data on a

specific Phrase track, use the following procedure to turn off

the desired Part(s).

❶ Make sure that the Play display (SEQ(Song)) is up.

❷ Press [LOCAL/TX/RX] to open the LOCAL/TX/RX

window.

❸ Move the cursor to “Rx Switch.”

The display will indicate the Parts to produce sound with

“o.”

❹ Press TRACK/PART [1]–[16] to make the button indi-

cators of the Part(s) to be muted, go off.

Parts turned off (indicator off) will be indicated with “_”.

❺ To play the muted Part, press the appropriate button

again to make its indicator light.

❻ Press [EXIT] or [LOCAL/TX/RX] to close the window.

✳ This setting can be saved as part of the Performance

settings.

Playing back a song with a tempo change

When playing back a song, the XP-80’s sequencer follows the

tempo recorded on the Tempo track, but you can also

change the entire song’s tempo during playback. The tempo

you actually use to play back a song is called ‘playback

tempo.’ To change the play tempo, you can either use but-

tons or the Tap Tempo function that sets the tempo to the

interval at which you press the control pedal.

✳ Playback tempo is only a temporary setting, so if you

change the song or turn the power off, the setting will

be lost. If you also want to play the song again at the

same play tempo, save the song to the disk again.

✳ Playback tempo can be modified over the range from

1/2 to twice the tempo changes recorded on the

Tempo track.

✳ If after modifying playback tempo you want to restore

the tempo changes recorded on the Tempo track, hold

down [SHIFT] and press [TEMPO/BEAT].

❶ Make sure that the Play display (SEQ(Song)) is up.

❷ Move the cursor to “ .”

❸ Turn the VALUE dial, press [INC]/[DEC] or numeric

Changing the tempo using the Tap Tempo function

❶ Make sure that the Play display (SEQ(Song)) is up.

❷ Connect an optional pedal switch to any of CONTROL

PEDAL 1–4 jacks.

display will appear.

through the Control Assign display, Pedal Assign display,

Control Source display and then back to the Control Assign

display, and so on.

❺ Move the cursor to <Assign> of the CONTROL

PEDAL jack to which a pedal switch is connected, and

choose “102:TAP-TEMPO.”

❻ Press [EXIT] to return to the Play display (SEQ(Song)).

❼ Press the pedal at the tempo you want to play the

song. Pressing the pedal three or more times at regular

intervals will set the tempo to the interval at which you

press the pedal.
