Preventing User Memory

Writing Operation (PROTECT)

This function prevents user memory from being rewritten to ensure Patch, Performance or Rhythm Set data will not accidentally be lost.

Internal (Internal Write Protect)

The Internal write Protect setting prevents the Write operation from rewriting user memory. When this setting is ON, the data cannot be rewritten. When this is OFF, the data can be rewritten. When the XP-30’s power is turned on, this setting is always turned ON, so you will need to turn it OFF before rewriting user memory settings. It is also possible to turn this setting OFF as part of the Write procedure.

Exclusive (Exclusive Protect)

The Exclusive Protect setting prevents System Exclusive messages received from an external MIDI device from rewriting user memory settings. When this setting is ON, the data cannot be rewritten. When this is OFF, the data can be rewritten by an incoming exclusive message, even if the Internal Write Protect setting is ON.

Before Using a Memory Card

*The power of the XP-30 must be turned off before inserting or removing a memory card. If a memory card is inserted when the power is turned on, the data in the memory card may be destroyed, or the memory card may become unusable.

*Be sure to insert the memory card all the way into the slot.

*Do not touch the contacts of the memory card, or allow them to become soiled.

*Never remove the memory card or turn off the power while an operation (formatting, or data read/write) is being performed on the memory card. Doing so will destroy the data in the memory card and/or render the memory card unusable.

*If you affix the write protect label to the write protect area of the memory card, it will be impossible to format the card or write data to it. If you wish to format the card or write data to it, do so without the label affixed. For details on the write protect label, refer to the instruction included with your memory card.

If you attempt to format the card or write data to it when the write protect label is affixed, the following message will appear.
