❸ Use numeric keys to input a Patch number (001–128).

With the Digit Hold function turned on, the 100’s position

and 10’s position will be fixed when the numeric keys are

used to select a Patch. This means that the numeric keys will

only change the 1’s position, and you won’t have to press

[ENTER] for each selection. The same applies to selecting

Performances and Rhythm Sets.

❶ Hold down [SHIFT] and press [ENTER] to turn on

Digit Hold.

The numbers in the 100’s position and 10’s position will be

displayed in a smaller size to indicate Digit Hold is on.

❷ When you enter a numeric key number, the 1’s posi-

tion will change immediately without having to press

[ENTER].

❸ To turn off Digit Hold, hold down [SHIFT] and press

[ENTER] once again.

Displaying a Patch list

You can view a Patch list when selecting a Patch. Ten

Patches are displayed at once for each Patch group, allowing

your desired Patch to be quickly accessed. This Patch list is

called the ‘Sound List window.’

❶ Make sure that the Play display (PATCH) is showing.

❷ Press [SOUND LIST] to display the Sound List win-

dow. The cursor is on the currently selected Patch.

(Bank Select MSB=, LSB=) at the bottom line indicates

the Bank Select (MSB and LSB) of the current Patch.

❸ When changing Patches in units of 10, press either [F5]

(-10) or [F6] (+10). Holding down either button will

change Patch groups as well. Patch groups can also be

changed by pressing [F2] (-Group) or [F3] (+Group).

❹ When selecting a Patch, turn the VALUE dial, or press

[INC]/[DEC] or cursor buttons to move the cursor to

the desired Patch.

❺ Press [EXIT] to close the Sound List window.

Making a Patch sound thick or thin

(turning a Tone on/off)

Since a Patch is a combination of up to four Tones, you can

switch unwanted (Tones out of the four) off and get just the

sound of a specific Tone.

✳ Use the Tone Switch parameter (PATCH/WG/Wave

Param) to set each Tone on/off. This setting can be

stored as a part of Patch data. So if you want just one

or two Tones to sound in a Patch, turn the others off

and store that setting on a Patch. This cuts nonessential

use of the XP-80’s simultaneous voices.

❶ Make sure that the Play display (PATCH) is showing.

❷ Press any button from [F1] (Common)–[F6] (Effect).

❸ Use TONE SWITCH [1]–[4] (BANK [1]–[4] ) to turn

Tones on (indicator lights) or off (indicator off).

TONE SWITCH buttons switch Tones 1, 2, 3, and 4 on/off in

sequence going from left to right.

❹ Press [EXIT] to return to the Play display (PATCH)

and start playing the Patch.

“Tone:” at the display bottom center shows the numbers of

Tones which are turned on. The Tones turned off are indicat-

ed with “-.”
