Chapter 5 Creating a Performance
How a Performance Is
Organized
With Performances, you can combine a total of up to 32
separate Patches and Rhythm Sets to enjoy ensemble
performances featuring rich tones. In other words, using
Performances allows you to control 32 separate tones with a
single XV-5080. A sound module that can simultaneously
produce multiple sounds is called a multitimbral sound
module.

Basic Ways to Use
Performances
There are three basic ways to use Performances.
Playing Multiple Patches Together
(Layer)
Refer to “QUICK START” (p. 21).
Playing Separate Patches in Different
Areas of the Keyboard (Split)
Refer to “QUICK START” (p. 25).
Using the XV-5080 as a Multitimbral
Sound Generator
In Performance mode, you can use the XV-5080 as a 32-part
multitimbral sound generator. Try selecting some Parts and
sounds, and then play the multiple Parts together as a
Performance.
The basic steps for doing this include:
• Choosing the Parts to Play (p. 159)
• Selecting a Part’s Patch or Rhythm Set (Patch) (p. 162)
• Setting the Part’s MIDI reception channels (Part MIDI)
• Setting the MIDI connector that receives MIDI messages
for each Part (Part MIDI Receive Switch) (p. 164)
After you have completed setting up your Performance, try
playing a sequence from your computer or sequencer using
the Performance’s sounds.
Common tips for creating Performances can be listed as
follows.
• A Performance can use up to three Multi-effects. (p. 30)
• You can modify the Patch (Tone) settings of each Part
while still in Performance mode. (p. 167)
Choosing the Parts to Play
Turn on each Part you wish to use.
1. Select the Performance you wish to use.
2. Press [RX] to make the indicator light.
3. Use PART SELECT [1/17]–[16/32] to switch each Part
on—so its indicator lights—or off, so its indicator is
extinguished.
To turn Parts 17–32 on or off, press [1-16/17-32], getting its
indicator to light, and then press the desired PART SELECT
[1/17]–[16/32] button.
4. Press [RX], getting its indicator light to go out.
* This setting is linked to the setting for the Part MIDI Receive
Switch parameter (Performance MIDI #1 page; p. 164).
After Step 2 is carried out, the following screen appears.
fig.
After using [
], [
], [
], or [
] to move the cursor
to the desired part, you can press [INC] to switch it on, or
[DEC] to switch it off.
You can switch all parts off or on by pressing [F5 (All Off)],
or [F6 (All On)].
Additionally, by pressing [F1 (#Solo)] and switching Solo
Part to “ON,” the XV-5080 enters Solo mode, whereby only
the Part at which the cursor is placed plays. When you want
to exit Solo mode, press [F1 (#Solo)] once more, switching
Solo Part “OFF.”
