Using the XP-30 to Play Live

■Changing Multiple Sounds of an External MIDI Device

Simultaneously

When a different Performance is selected, the sound corresponding to the Bank Select number and Program number of the selected Performance will usually be chosen on the external MIDI device.

Once you have set the Bank Select number and Program number for each Part to match the desired sound of the external MIDI device, you can select several sounds on the external MIDI device by changing the Performance.

1.Select the Part to be used to control the external MIDI device.

2.Call up the BANK-SEL GROUP display (SYSTEM/ MIDI).

3.Set the Number parameter to select the appropriate bank select group to match the bank select of your external MIDI device, turn the Switch parameter ON for that group, and set the LSB and MSB parameters.

4.After switching to the MIDI display (PERFORM/MIDI) for the part that will control the external MIDI device, set the Channel parameter to match the receive channel of the external MIDI device, and turn the Tx parameter ON.

5.Select the TRANSMIT (PERFORM/MIDI) display, and set the Bank Select Group parameter to the bank select group that you selected in step 3.

6.Call up the PATCH display (PERFORM/PART) and set the Number parameter to the same number as the Program number of the sound you wish to play from the external MIDI device.

*If the Program number of the external MIDI device reads 0–127, set the P.C Number parameter by adding 1 to the external MIDI device’s value.

7.Save the Performance.

8.Try changing from another Performance to the Performance just saved, and see if the sound of the external MIDI device changes to what you want. If not, check your settings and the external MIDI device.
