Roland XV-5080. Manual De Usuario

Rhythm sets are groups of a number of different percussion 
instrument sounds. An instrument consists of the following 
four elements.

fig.06-001.e

Specifies the PCM waveform (wave) that is the basis of the 
sound, and determines how the pitch of the sound will 
change.

The XV-5080 has 1083 different waveforms. (See Waveform 
List p. 277.) Four waveforms can be assigned to each Rhythm 
Tone.

All Rhythm Tones built into the XV-5080 consist of 
combinations of Tones which are created based on these 
waveforms.

Specifies how the frequency components of the Tone will 
change.

Sets how the Rhythm Tone’s volume and stereo positioning 
will change.

An envelope applies changes to the Rhythm Tone over time. 
There are separate envelopes for Pitch, TVF (filter), and TVA 
(volume). For example, you would use the TVA Envelope to 
modify the way in which the Tone attacks and decays.

When setting up Individual Rhythm Tones, you can set 
whether you’ll be able to select percussion instruments for 
editing only by operating the XV-5080’s front-panel controls 
or also by pressing keys on a connected MIDI keyboard.
