When sequencing, it's usually desirable to access the XV-3080 on several different MIDI channels at once. This allows you to control up to 16 parts separately. Use the following procedure to set up the XV-3080 for multichannel sequencing:

1. Connect the MIDI out of your sequencer to the MIDI IN of the XV-3080.
2. Press PERFORMANCE so it's lit.
3. Turn the VALUE dial to select "PR-A: 01-SEQ:TEMPLATE."

Note: This performance is preset for sequencing and allows you to use up to 16 parts (patches) on 16 different MIDI channels.
