Playing in Patch mode

Patches are what you normally play during a performance.

Select a Patch before playing.

Selecting a Patch

The XP-80 offers five groups of Patches (User, Presets A–C

and GM) with each group having 128 Patches for a total of

640 Patches.

Up to four optional Wave Expansion Boards can be installed

to provide a whopping 1,660 Patches.

USER

The XP-80’s user memory contains 128 Patches that can be

rewritten to create your own Patches.

PR-A–C (Presets A–C)

The XP-80 includes 384 preset Patches that are not user-

rewritable. But you can call up preset Patch settings into the

temporary area, modify them, and then store them in User

memory.

GM (General MIDI)

GM Patches are for instruments compatible with the GM

System. The aim of this system is to standardize MIDI speci-

fications among different equipment makers or models. The

XP-80 contains 128 GM Patches that are not user-rewritable.

But you can call up GM Patch settings into the temporary

area, modify them, and then store them in User memory.

XP-A–D (Wave Expansion Boards installed in EXP-A–D Slots)

The Patches included in optional Wave Expansion Boards

are not user-rewritable. But you can call up those Patch set-

tings into the temporary area, modify them, and then store

them in User memory.

✳ A Patch XP-A–D cannot be accessed if the Wave

Expansion Board it belongs to has not been installed.

❶ Press [PATCH] to call up the Play display (PATCH).

❷ Turn the VALUE dial or press [INC]/[DEC] to select a

Patch.

Selecting a Patch with Bank/Number method

You can select a Patch by combining BANK [1]–[8] and

NUMBER [1]–[8] buttons in the center of the front panel.

This selection style is called the ‘Bank/Number method.’

When selecting a Patch on the XP-80 using the

Bank/Number method, the bank/number corresponding to

each Patch number is shown at the upper left of the display.

Patch number: 001 002 003 ... 064 065 066 067

Bank/number: a11 a12 a13 ... a88 b11 b12 b13 ... b88

With the Bank/Number method, 64 Patches in bank 1/num-

ber 1 through bank 8/number 8 make up a single su/jointfilesconvert/326840/bgroup.

Su/jointfilesconvert/326840/bgroups (a/b/c/d) can be changed in units of 64 Patches.

✳ Su/jointfilesconvert/326840/bgroup c or d can be chosen only when selecting a

Patch from a Wave Expansion Board.

❶ Press [PATCH] to call up the Play display (PATCH).

❷ Turn the VALUE dial, or press [INC]/[DEC] or numer-

ic keys to select a Patch group.

❸ Press [a/b/c/d] to select a su/jointfilesconvert/326840/bgroup. Su/jointfilesconvert/326840/bgroups a and

b will be toggled each time the button is pressed.

✳ When selecting a Patch from a Wave Expansion Board,

pressing this button will cycle through su/jointfilesconvert/326840/bgroups a, b,

c, and d.

❹ Press BANK [1]–[8] to select a bank.

❺ Press NUMBER [1]–[8] to select a number.

Selecting a Patch using numeric keys

You can use numeric keys to directly select a desired Patch.

❶ Press [PATCH] to call up the Play display (PATCH).

❷ Hold down [SHIFT] and press numeric keys [0]–[8] to
