Playing in Rhythm Set mode
In Rhythm Set mode, you can play percussion instruments
(Rhythm Tones) on the keyboard. As the Rhythm Tone
assigned to each key varies by the Rhythm Set selected, you
can play a wide range of percussion instruments.
Selecting a Rhythm Set
The XP-80 offers five groups of Rhythm Sets (User, Presets
A–C and GM) with each group having two Rhythm Sets – a
total of 10 Rhythm Sets. In addition, up to four optional
Wave Expansion Boards can be installed for accessing even
more percussion instruments.
USER
The XP-80’s user memory contains two Rhythm Sets that can
be rewritten to make up your own Rhythm Sets.
PR-A–C (Presets A–C)
The XP-80 includes six preset Rhythm Sets that are not user-
rewritable. But you can call up preset Rhythm Set settings
into the temporary area, modify them, and then store them
in user memory.
GM (General MIDI)
GM Rhythm Sets are for instruments compatible with the
General MIDI System intended to standardize MIDI specifi-
cations among different equipment makers or models. The
XP-80 offers two GM Rhythm Sets that are not user-
rewritable. But you can call up GM Rhythm Set settings into
the temporary area, modify them, and then store them in
user memory.
XP-A–D (Wave Expansion Boards installed in EXP-A–D Slots)
These Rhythm Sets are included in optional Wave Expansion
Boards and are not user-rewritable. But you can call up
Rhythm Set settings into the temporary area, modify them,
and then store them in user memory.
✳
A Patch XP-A–D cannot be accessed if the Wave
Expansion Board it belongs to has not been installed.

Selecting a Rhythm Set with Bank/Number method
You can select a Rhythm Set by combining BANK [1]–[8]
and NUMBER [1]–[8] located at front panel center. This is
called ‘Bank/Number method.’ However, when you select a
Rhythm Set stored in the XP-80, Bank is fixed at 1. So specify
the number by pressing NUMBER [1] or [2] only.
The bank/number corresponding to each Rhythm Set num-
ber is shown at the upper left of the display for your refer-
ence when selecting a Rhythm Set using the Bank/Number
method.
Rhythm Set number: 001 002 .... 008
Bank/number:
