In order to select a Performance, the MIDI channel of the transmitting device must match the XP-30’s Control Channel parameter (SYSTEM/MIDI/PERFORM MIDI). In order to select the Patch or Rhythm Set of a Part, the transmit channel must match the receive channel of the Part. However if the Control Channel parameter and the receive channel of a Part have the same setting, the Control Channel parameter setting will take priority so that messages received on this channel will select Performances.

Selecting Rhythm Sets

The MIDI messages transmitted by the external MIDI device will be received by the XP-30 to select Rhythm Sets as shown in the following table.
