Using a pedal switch to modify the rotary

speed of the Rotary effect

❶ Connect an optional pedal switch to any of CONTROL

PEDAL 1–4 jacks (1 is used for this example).

❷ Call up the Pedal Assign display (SYSTEM/Control)

and set the Pedal 1’s <Assign> to CC04:FOOT-TYPE.

❸ Select PR-A:54 Rocker Spin on the Play display

(PATCH).

This Patch uses ROTARY as the EFX type.

❹ Call up the EFX Control display (PATCH/Effects),

then set the EFX Ctrl 1’s Control Source to FOOT and

Depth to +63.

❺ When you wish to speed up the rotary effect, press the

pedal switch. Releasing the pedal switch will slow

down the rotary effect.

Playing breakbeats at a song’s tempo

The optional Wave Expansion Board “SR-JV80-06 Dance”

contains Patches derived from waveforms with tempo

(BPM) indication (breakbeats). You can play these break-

beats in sync with the sequencer’s tempo.

✳ The XP-80’s memory does not contain breakbeats.

❶ Select 001:All night! on the Play display (PATCH).

❷ Set the Clock Source parameter (PATCH/Common/

Common General) parameter to SEQUENCER.

❸ Call up the Wave Param display (PATCH/WG/WG

Prm).

❹ Change the Tone by pressing TONE SELECT [1]–[4]

and look for the Tone that uses waveforms with BPM

indication.

The wave name will appear in parentheses () below the

Wave Number parameter. You’ll notice that for this exam-

ple, Patch Tone 2 uses breakbeats called Slammin’ 130.

❺ Set the Tone 2’s Tone Delay Mode parameter to

TEMPO-SYNC.

❻ Press [SEQUENCER] to call up the Play display

(SEQ(Song)).

❼ Move the cursor to and try various values while

you press a note.

The breakbeats speed will change in accordance to the

sequencer’s tempo clock.

✳ The breakbeats will sound with the sequencer’s tempo

regardless of which key you press. The settings for

pitch and FXM will be ignored.

Using the C1 slider to pan sounds in real

time

You can assign various functions to the C1 slider. In this

example, the stereo location (pan position) of a Patch will

change by moving the C1 sliders up or down.

❶ Call up the Control Assign display (SYSTEM/Control).

❷ Set the C1 Slider’s <Assign> to CC10:PANPOT.

✳ With other <Assign> settings, you can try different

variations.

❸ Select a Patch on the Play display (PATCH).

❹ Move the C1 slider while you play the keyboard.

You’ll notice that sound will pan right and left.

✳ To better hear panning changes, turn [EFX], [CHO-

RUS] and [REVERB] off.

Using the XP-80 to play live

Changing multiple sounds of an external

MIDI device simultaneously

When a different Performance is selected, the sound corre-

sponding to the Bank Select number and Program number of

the selected Performance will usually be chosen on the exter-

nal MIDI device.

Once you have set the Bank Select number and Program

number for each Part to match the desired sound of the

external MIDI device, you can select several sounds on the

external MIDI device by changing the Performance.

✳ Use a Layer Performance when performing this opera-

tion. A Single Performance will have no effect. Be sure

to set the Key Mode parameter (PERFORM/Common/

Common) to LAYER.

❶ Select the Part to be used to control the external MIDI

device.

❷ Call up the Bank Select Group display (SYSTEM/

MIDI).

❸ Set the external MIDI device’s Bank Select (Bank MSB

and Bank LSB) to any of Grp1–7. Set Grp1–7’s Switch

parameter ON so that Bank Select can be sent to the

external MIDI device.

❹ Call up the Part MIDI display (PERFORM/MIDI) of

the selected Part. Then set the Channel parameter to

the external MIDI device’s receive channel, the Tx

Switch parameter ON and the Tx Bank Select parame-

ter to the same Grp1–7 as you did in step 3 above.

❺ Call up the Part Param display (PERFORM/Part) and

set the Patch Number parameter to the same number

as the Program number of the sound you wish to play

from the external MIDI device.

✳ If the Program number of the external MIDI device

reads 0–127, set the P.C Number parameter by adding

1 to the external MIDI device’s value.

❻ Save the Performance.

❼ Try changing from another Performance to the

Performance just saved, and see if the sound of the

external MIDI device changes to what you want. If not,

check your settings and the external MIDI device.
