Roland XV-3080 사용자 설명서

The XV-3080 features a 

—a convenient way to play 

back or create GM score data (music files for General MIDI 
sound module). You’re able to play back commercial GM 
score data releases and even modify various parameter 
settings for enhanced musical expression.

Basically GM mode is similar to a special kind of 
Performance in which a General MIDI System Rhythm Set is 
assigned to Part 10, and General MIDI System Patches are 
assigned to other Parts.

But however, you can’t store GM mode settings in user 
memory.

The GM PLAY page shows a Patch or Rhythm Set assigned 
to each Part.

Each time you enter GM mode, the GM Drum Set is assigned 
to Part 10, and Piano 1 is assigned to other Parts. You can 
also select other GM Patches and GM Drum Sets for each 
Part to match the performance.

1. Press [GM] in MODE to call up the GM PLAY page.

When you switch the XV-3080 into GM mode, the sound 
generator initializes itself for basic GM System settings.

2. To change the current Part, press [

] or [

].

3. To change the GM Patch or GM Rhythm Set assigned to 

the Part, perform the same procedure as you do when 
you select a Patch or Rhythm Set.

To play back a GM score correctly, the sound generator must 
first be initialized to basic GM system settings. The XV-3080’s 
sound generator is initialized in the following situations:

• When the XV-3080 is switched to GM mode

• When it receives a GM System On message from an 

external MIDI device

• When a GM System On message is encountered in the 

song data being played back

• When the XV-3080’s power is turned on.

• When you execute the GM Initialize function (p. 145).

When the XV-3080 is in GM mode, it plays back GM scores 
correctly. But beyond this, the XV-3080 provides many 
extended features not defined in GM System specifications, 
and if you create music files using these extended features, 
your song may not play back correctly on other GM-
compatible sound modules.

In addition, although the XV-3080 can also be compatible 
with the GS format by receiving a GS Reset MIDI message, 
Roland’s Sound Canvas Series (including the SC-8850 and 
SC-8820) features a different sound module system and 
extended tone map, you may be unable to get MIDI data (GS 
music data) created especially for use only with the Sound 
Canvas series of devices to play back properly.

The beginning of a GM score normally contains a GM System 
On message. So if you play back a GM score starting in the 
top of a song, XV-3080 will switch itself to GM mode. But if 
you play back a GM score starting in the middle of a song, 
XV-3080 may not switch itself to GM mode, and the GM 
score may not play back correctly. So to be safe, it’s 
recommended to manually set the XV-3080 to GM mode 
before playing back a GM score.

When you switch over to GM mode, all Parts will be set to 
receive MIDI messages. To turn off a specific Part so that it 
will not sound, set the Receive Switch to OFF for the Part.

First, press [RX] to make its indicator light.

At this time, the on/off setting of each Part will be shown by 
the indicators of PART SELECT [1/9]–[8–16]. When the [1-8/
9-16] indicator is dark, the function button indicators will 
indicate the status of Parts 1–8. When the [1-8/9-16] indicator 
is lit, the function button indicators will indicate the status of 
Parts 9–16. Lit is on, and dark is off.

Press PART SELECT [1/9]–[8/16] to turn the Part on/off.
