Roland XP-30 owner manual Editing Patches Using the Palette Display

1.Press [PATCH] to access the PATCH PLAY display, and select the Patch whose settings you wish to modify (p. 47).

2.Press [EDIT] to make the indicator light.

3.Use the function buttons to select the display group.

The button indicator of the selected display group will blink.

4.Use [ ] or [ ] to select a display page.

5.If you have selected a parameter display that can be set independently for each Tone, the number of the Tone selected for editing will be shown in the display. To select a different Tone, press [EDIT] to temporarily turn off the indicator, and use TONE SELECT [1]–[4] (located in the row of function buttons) to select a Part.

For simultaneously modifying the same parameter for two or more Tones, hold down one of TONE SELECT [1]–[4] buttons and press another TONE SELECT [1]–[4] button, then another if so desired. An asterisk (*) will be indicated for Tones other than the first-selected Tone.

*To switch Tones on/off, turn off [EDIT] indicator and then use the TONE SWITCH [1]–[4] located in the row of function buttons.

6.Use [] or [] to move the cursor to the parameter you wish to modify.

7.Use the VALUE dial, [INC]/[DEC] or numeric keys and modify the parameter value.

*If you’ve selected two or more Tones, your editing will modify the parameter values for all selected Tones by the same amount.

*If you’ve made a mistake in setting the parameter value or you don’t like the changes, just press [UNDO/COMPARE] to restore the value to what it was.

8.If you wish to move to another display group, press [EDIT] to make the indicator light, and use the function buttons.

*You can also move to another display group by holding down [SHIFT] and using [] or []. Since this can be done even when [EDIT] indicator is dark, it is a faster way to get around because you don’t have to turn on [EDIT] indicator each time.

9.Repeat steps 3–8 to complete a Patch.

10.When you finish making settings, press [EXIT] or [PATCH] to return to the PATCH PLAY display.

Chapter 3. Creating Your Own Sounds

An asterisk (*) will be displayed at the left of the Patch group. This shows Patch settings have been modified.

*If you select another Patch in the group with an asterisk (*), the modified Patch settings will be lost. If you wish to keep these modified settings, you must write them into user memory (p. 68).
