Roland XP-30 Initializing Sound Source Settings Init, Transmitting Sound Settings Xfer

Chapter 4. Memory Settings (Utility/Card Mode)

Initializing Sound Source Settings (INIT)

This function resets settings of the current Patch, Performance, or Rhythm Set to a standard value or to factory default settings.

*Only current data will be initialized, and data resident in user memory will not be rewritten. To reset all settings to factory defaults, execute Factory Reset (UTILITY/UTIL 2/FACTORY RESET).

Data can be initialized in two ways depending on the application.

Mode (Initialize Mode)

DEFAULT: Resets current data to the standard values called “Initial data” (INIT PATCH, INIT PERFORM or INIT SET). This mode is selected when creating sound from scratches.

PRESET: Resets the current data in user memory to the factory settings.

*If the current data is a Patch, Performance or Rhythm Set in preset memory (PR-A–PR-C, E, GM), and initialization is performed with PRESET specified, the data will be reset to the value of the correspondingly numbered user memory.

■Performance Initialize

To initialize Performance settings, press [UTIL/CARD] in Performance mode and execute initialization.

■Patch Initialize

To initialize Patch settings, press [UTIL/CARD] in Patch mode and execute initialization.

■Rhythm Set Initialize

To initialize Rhythm Set settings, press [UTIL/CARD] in Rhythm Set mode and execute initialization.

The Rhythm Set Initialize operation can also be used to initialize the settings of only an individual percussion instrument sound (key) that you specify. In this case, move the cursor to Key, and select the percussion instrument sound that you wish to initialize. You can specify the percussion instrument sound either from the keyboard, or by pressing TONE SELECT [1]–[4].

Transmitting Sound Settings (XFER)

This function lets you transmit sound source or System settings that are in the XP-30’s memory or stored on memory card to an external MIDI device or User memory.

■Transmitting Data to an

External MIDI Device

The process of transmitting Patch, Performance, Rhythm Set or System data to an external MIDI device is called Bulk dump. This process is used when two XP-30s with the same Patch, Performance and/or Rhythm Set settings are connected for performance or when recording Patch, Performance, Rhythm Set or System data into an external MIDI device as a backup for accidental data deletion.

*To cancel data transmission, press [EXIT].

*If you expect to successfully use settings that stipulate the use of XP-A/B/C waves and patches after they’ve been sent to another unit (XP-50/60/80; or JV-1010/1080/2080), you first need to make sure that the relevant Wave Expansion Boards are installed in the other unit.
