MIDI IN connectors
The XV-5080 has two MIDI IN connectors. By providing for
the use of two MIDI IN connectors, the XV-5080 readily
accommodates a broad variety of performance situations.
The XV-5080’s MIDI IN 1 connector is usually used for
keyboard performances and the like, whereas the MIDI IN 2
connector is designed as an auxiliary connector, convenient
for using a connected sequencer or other device playing
accompaniment.
* If using only one of the MIDI IN connectors, we recommend
that you use MIDI IN 1.
In Patch/Rhythm Set Mode
Both MIDI IN 1 and 2 will be received.

In Performance Mode
The MIDI messages from MIDI IN 1 and 2 are received, for
32 Parts.
Furthermore, you can set the MIDI IN 1/2 reception switch
for each of the Parts (p. 165). This means, for example, that
you can play Parts 1–16 with the messages from MIDI IN 1
and Parts 17–32 using the messages from MIDI IN 2.
