Roland XP-30 owner manual Modifying a Value

Moving the Cursor (underline)

When two or more items are shown in a single display page, move the cursor (underline) to the item whose value you wish to set. Press [] to move the cursor to the left, or [] to move it to the right.

A symbol appearing in the upper right of the display indicates that there are other items in this page that the screen has no room to show. Press [] to see these items, and press [] to return to the previous display.

■Modifying a Value

To modify a value, use the VALUE dial, [INC]/[DEC] or [0]– [9] (numeric keys).

*Each parameter has a specific range, so you cannot set any value smaller than the minimum value or greater than the maximum value.

VALUE Dial

Rotating the VALUE dial clockwise increases the value, counterclockwise decreases the value. Holding down [SHIFT] as you move the VALUE dial increases value increments so you can make large value changes faster.

[INC] and [DEC]

Pressing [INC] increases the value, and [DEC] decreases it. Keep [INC] or [DEC] pressed for continuous adjustment. For faster value increases, keep [INC] pressed down and press [DEC]. For decreasing value faster, keep [DEC] pressed down and press [INC].

If you press [INC] or [DEC] while holding down [SHIFT], the value increments will get bigger.

[0]–[9] (Numeric Keys)

[0]–[9] (Numeric Keys) lets you directly specify a numerical value. When you enter the number, the value will blink. This indicates that the value has not yet been finalized. To finalize the value press the ENTER button. To reverse the sign of the number (+/-), hold down [SHIFT] and press [0].

*Some parameters do not require you to press [ENTER] to finalize the value.

< Example 1: To enter a value of 38 > Press [3] → press [8] → press [ENTER]

< Example 2: To enter a value of -60 >

While holding down [SHIFT] press [0] → press [6] → press [0] → press [ENTER]

*You can switch from a positive to negative numerical value anytime before you press [ENTER].

Special Functions of the Numeric Keys

You can use the numeric keys to specify non-numerical settings for some parameters.

*For the procedure of using the Numeric Keys to enter the characters or symbols in a name, refer to “Assigning a Name” (p. 46).

Performance/Patch/Rhythm Set Group

In the PLAY displays of Performance mode/Patch mode/ Rhythm Set mode, you can use the numeric keys to specify groups. To specify the group, hold down [SHIFT] and press numeric keys to specify groups.

Buttons	Group
[SHIFT]+[1]	PR-A (preset A)
[SHIFT]+[2]	PR-B (preset B)
[SHIFT]+[3]	PR-C (preset C)
[SHIFT]+[4]	PR-D (GM (General MIDI))
[SHIFT]+[5]	PR-E (preset E)
[SHIFT]+[6]	USER (user)

Restoring a Previous Value (Undo)

If you wish to restore a value to its immediate previous value, press [UNDO/COMPARE] to return the value to its pre-modified state.

The Undo function can be used when modifying sound source settings.
