Chapter 2. Playing

■Assigning a Different Patch to a

Part

The Patch assigned to each Part can be stored as a Performance parameter.

1.Make sure that the PERFORM PLAY display is showing.

2.Press [] or [] to choose the Part to which you want to assign a different Patch.

3.While holding down [PERFORM], press [PATCH] to call up the PLAY display (PART PLAY) of the Patch assigned to a specific Part.

The upper right of the display will indicate the number of the currently selected part (the current part).

4.Use the same procedure as in Patch mode to select a Patch (p. 47).

*This setting is linked with the Group parameter and Number parameter (PERFORM/PART/PATCH).

5.Press [PERFORM] or [EXIT] to return to the PERFORM PLAY display.

■Using the Sliders to Modify the Sound in Realtime

(Sound Palette Function)

Using the Sound Palette function, you can modify sound characters of the Patch assigned to a Part or adjust the volume level of each Part.

*Sound variations or volume changes made with the Sound Palette function affect only the performance. They have no effect on the currently selected Performance, so the Sound Palette settings cannot be saved. If you change the Performance, these settings will be lost.

*The sound character and volume changes created using the Sound Palette will also be transmitted to the external MIDI devices.

Changing Sound Characters

*If Single Performance is selected, the effect applies only to the current Part. With Layer Performance selected, this affects only the Parts with Local parameter (PERFORM/MIDI/MIDI) set ON.

1.Make sure that the PERFORM PLAY display is showing.

2.Press [FILTER/ENV] to light its indicator.

3.Move the sliders while you play the XP-30’s keyboard to vary the sound.

To change brightness, move the CUTOFF slider. To change resonance, move the RESO slider.

To change attack time, move the ATTACK slider. To change decay time, move the DECAY slider.
