Try Out the Sounds
The XV-5080 comes with a full palette of onboard sounds. The sounds that
are used for ordinary play are called “Patches.” To begin with, you’ll want
to listen to the Patches in Patch mode.
Playing Patches (Phrase Preview
Function)
Even with no MIDI keyboard or sequencer connected, the XV-5080 allows
you to check sounds using a number prepared phrases that are perfectly
matched to highlight each type of Patch.
