With the Digit Hold function turned on, the 100s position
and 10s position will be fixed when the numeric keys are
used to select a Patch. This means that the numeric keys will
only change the 1s position, and you wont have to press
[ENTER] for each selection. The same applies to selecting
Performances and Rhythm Sets.
<Procedure>
Hold down [SHIFT] and press [ENTER] to turn on
Digit Hold.
The numbers in the 100s position and 10s position will be
displayed in a smaller size to indicate Digit Hold is on.
When you enter a numeric key number, the 1s posi-
tion will change immediately without having to press
[ENTER].
To turn off Digit Hold, hold down [SHIFT] and press
[ENTER] once again.

Displaying a Patch list
You can view a Patch list when selecting a Patch. Ten
Patches are displayed at once for each Patch group, allowing
your desired Patch to be quickly accessed. This Patch list is
called the Sound List window.
<Procedure>
Make sure that the Play display (PATCH) is showing.
Press [SOUND LIST] to display the Sound List win-
dow. The cursor is on the currently selected Patch.
(Bank Select MSB=, LSB=) at the bottom line indicates
the Bank Select (MSB and LSB) of the current Patch.
When changing Patches in units of 10, press either [F5]
(-10) or [F6] (+10).
Patch groups can also be changed by pressing [F2] (-
Group) or [F3] (+Group).
When selecting a Patch, turn the VALUE dial, or press
[INC]/[DEC] or cursor buttons to move the cursor to
the desired Patch.
Press [EXIT] to close the Sound List window.
Making a Patch sound thick or thin
(turning a Tone on/off)
Since a Patch is a combination of up to four Tones, you can
switch unwanted (Tones out of the four) off and get just the
sound of a specific Tone.
Use the Tone Switch parameter (PATCH/WG/Wave
Param) to set each Tone on/off. This setting can be
stored as a part of Patch data. So if you want just one
or two Tones to sound in a Patch, turn the others off
and store that setting on a Patch. This cuts nonessential
use of the XP-80s simultaneous voices.
<Procedure>
Make sure that the Play display (PATCH) is showing.
Press any button from [F1] (Common)[F6] (Effect).
Use TONE SWITCH [1][4] (BANK [1][4] ) to turn
Tones on (indicator lights) or off (indicator off).
TONE SWITCH buttons switch Tones 1, 2, 3, and 4 on/off in
sequence going from left to right.
Press [EXIT] to return to the Play display (PATCH)
and start playing the Patch.
Tone: at the display bottom center shows the numbers of
Tones which are turned on. The Tones turned off are indicat-
ed with -.
