Chapter 5. Editing a song
Complete a song by editing a recorded song. When you edit
a song, you’re modifying a song that’s already recorded into
internal memory. When you’re going to edit a song saved to
disk, you have to first load it into the internal memory.
✳ The internal song will be lost if you turn power off or
load another song into internal memory. If you wish to
keep a song, save it to disk.

Sequencer operating environ-
ment setup
You can make settings for using the XP-80 in combination
with an external MIDI device or make global sequencer set-
tings like metronome settings.
✳ The settings you’ve made on this display (excluding
Sync Mode and Offset Time parameters) are retained
until they are reset.
Sync Mode
Selects the MIDI clock which the XP-80’s sequencer will ref-
erence for operation.
INTERNAL: The XP-80’s sequencer will operate using the
internal MIDI clock.
REMOTE: Essentially same as INTERNAL. However,
Start/Stop messages from an external MIDI device will
start/stop playback of the XP-80’s sequencer.
SLAVE: The XP-80’s sequencer will sync to the MIDI clock of
an external MIDI device.
The XP-80’s sequencer will not operate when a MIDI clock is
not received from an external MIDI device.
Sync Output (MIDI sync output)
Set this parameter ON when you want synchronization
related MIDI messages (MIDI Clock, Start, Continue, Stop,
Song Position Pointer and Song Select) to be transmitted to
an external MIDI device. If not, set it OFF.
Through (Thru function)
Thru function re-transmits all messages received at the MIDI
IN connector to the MIDI OUT connector without modifying
them in any way. Normally you’ll leave this OFF, but when
using an external sequencer, you should set it ON.
MMC Output
Set this parameter ON when you want to synchronize the
XP-80’s sequencer to the Roland VS-880 Hard Disk Recorder.
When set ON, MMC (MIDI Machine Control) related com-
mands (Play, Stop and Locate) will be transmitted.
✳ The XP-80 will not receive MMC related commands.
Frame Mode
Use this parameter when you want to sync the XP-80’s
sequencer to the VS-880. Referring to the values below, set
this parameter to the same value as set for the MTC Type
parameter of the VS-880.
VS-880 XP-80
24 24
25 25
29D 29D
29N 30
30 30
✳ When connecting the XP-80 to the VS-880, it is recom-
mended to set both parameters to 30.
Offset Time
Use this parameter when you want to synchronize the XP-
80’s sequencer to the VS-880. Set this parameter to the same
value as set for the Ofs parameter of the VS-880.
Mode (Metronome mode)
Specifies when you want the metronome to sound.
OFF: Metronome will not sound at all.
REC ONLY: Metronome will sound only for recording.
REC&PLAY: Metronome will sound for playback and
recording.
ALWAYS: Metronome will always sound.
Level (Metronome level)
Adjusts the metronome volume in eight steps (0 to 7).
Sound (Metronome sound)
Selects the metronome sound.
TYPE 1: A normal metronome sound will be produced. Bell
will sound at the first beat.
TYPE 2: Clicks will sound.
TYPE 3: Beeps will sound.
TYPE 4: Cowbell will sound for the first beat, and wood-
block on other beats.
