Type (Portamento type)

Selects the Portamento effect wanted.

RATE

: Pitch change time varies in relation to the pitch dif-

ference.

TIME

: Pitch change time stays constant, regardless of pitch

difference.

Mode (Portamento mode)

Selects how Portamento is to be applied.

NORMAL

: Portamento will always be applied.

LEGATO

: Portamento effects only legato notes (i.e., when

you press one key before releasing the previously pressed

key).

Start (Portamento start pitch)

Starts a new portamento if you press another key during

pitch change. This setting specifies the pitch where the new

portamento starts.

PITCH

: Starts a new portamento when another key is

pressed while the pitch is changing.

NOTE

: A new portamento starts from the pitch change desti-

nation.

You can use controllers to control a specific Tone parameter

for each Patch, assigning functions that are different from

those offered by conventional controllers to a controller. For

example, changing Tone pitch by holding down a key (after-

touch) or TVF resonance through the Pitch Bend lever.

Each Patch can have up to three controller assignments (Ctrl

1–3), and you can assign the following controllers to Control

Source. The Control Source for Ctrl 1 is fixed at MODULA-

TION.

OFF

: A controller will not be used.

SYS-CTRL1

: System controller 1

SYS-CTRL2

: System controller 2

MODULATION

: Modulation (Controller number 1)

BREATH

: Breath (Controller number 2)

FOOT

: Foot (Controller number 4)

VOLUME

: Volume (Controller number 7)

PAN

: Pan (Controller number 10)

EXPRESSION

: Expression (Controller number 11)

PITCH BEND

: Pitch bend

AFTERTOUCH

: Aftertouch

LFO1

: Adjusts the modulation rate of the LFO1 waveform

–Rate parameter (PATCH/LFO&Ctl/LFO 1 Param)

LFO2

: Adjusts the modulation rate of the LFO2 waveform

–Rate parameter (PATCH/LFO&Ctl/LFO 2 Param)

VELOCITY

: Velocity

KEYFOLLOW

: Adjusts parameter value depending on the

key position, relative to the C4 key (0)

PLAYMATE

: Adjusts parameter value depending on the

time duration of the key press

✳

If you want to use a controller that is common to all

Patches, or to use a controller that is not available for

selection here, first select SYS-CTRL1 or SYS-CTRL2

for Control Source, then use the Sys-Ctrl1 parameter

(SYSTEM/Control/Control Assign) or Sys-Ctrl2 para-

meter (SYSTEM/Control/Control Assign) to select the

controller.

✳

Set the Tone parameter to be modified and its value on

the Control Param display (PATCH/LFO&Ctl) (p.58).

...........................................................................................................

<Peak&Hold>

Pedal messages conventionally hold only note– not MIDI

messages like modulation and aftertouch. This makes it

impossible to hold a sound (using a hold pedal) with after-

touch applied as you play the phrase.

The XP-80 can hold parameter value changes (maximum

change value) even when the controller is returned to its

original position after receiving pedal messages.

Use Peak&Hold to specify how parameter values will be

held after receiving pedal messages.

OFF

: Parameter values will not be held even if pedal mes-

sages are received.

HOLD

: Parameter values will be held when pedal messages

are received.

PEAK

: Parameter values will be held when pedal messages

are received. But if a parameter value greater than the cur-

rent one is received while Hold is still ON, the new value

will be held.

✳

When using this function, make sure you also set the

Hold-1 parameter (PATCH/LFO&Ctl/Control Switch) ON.
