Roland XP-30 owner manual Making Midi Settings for a Part Midi, Transmit Transmit Bank Select

Chapter 3. Creating Your Own Sounds

Fbk (Delay Feedback Level)

Adjust the amount of delayed sound that is returned (fed back) to the delay. Higher values result in more delay repeats.

*If you have selected any one of the Reverb types (ROOM1– HALL2), this parameter has no effect.

HF Damp (Reverb/Delay HF Damp)

Adjust the frequency above which the reverberant sound will be cut. As the frequency is set lower, more of the high frequencies will be cut, resulting in a softer and more muted reverberance. If you do not want the high frequencies to be cut, set this parameter to BYPASS.

Level (Reverb/Delay Level)

Adjust the volume of the reverberant (or delayed) sound.

■Making MIDI Settings for a Part (MIDI)

MIDI

These parameters determine how each Part will transmit and receive MIDI messages.

Channel (MIDI Channel)

Set the MIDI channel of each Part.

*If this is set to the same channel as the Control Channel parameter (SYSTEM/MIDI/PERFORM MIDI), attempting to use MIDI messages (Program Change and Bank Select) from an external device to select Patches will select Performances instead. If you want to select Patches, change the Control Channel to a different setting.

Rx (Receive Switch)

Specify whether or not you want each Part to receive MIDI messages from the external MIDI devices.

Normally you will leave this ON, but you can turn it OFF when you do not want a specific Part to be playing during a song playback.

*To switch between ON and OFF from the PERFORM PLAY display, hold down [SHIFT] while you press the function button for the Part you want to alter.

Tx (Transmit Switch)

This determines, for each Part, whether or not data generated by the controller section is sent as MIDI messages from the MIDI OUT connector when the Key Mode parameter (PERFORM/COMMON/PERFORM COMMON) is set to

LAYER.

Normally you will leave this ON, but you can turn it OFF when you do not want the XP-30 to control external sound sources.

*When the Key Mode parameter (PERFORM/COMMON/ PERFORM COMMON) is set to SINGLE, the setting for the Tx parameter is deactivated, and only the MIDI messages of the current Part are sent from the MIDI OUT connector.

Local (Local Switch)

Specify for each Part whether or not you want to disconnect the controller section from the internal sound source when the Key Mode parameter (PERFORM/COMMON/ PERFORM COMMON) is set to LAYER..

Normally you will leave this ON, but you can turn it OFF when you want to use the XP-30 only to control an external sound source.

*To switch between ON and OFF from the PERFORM PLAY display, press the function button for the Part you want to alter.

*When the Key Mode parameter (PERFORM/COMMON/ PERFORM COMMON) is at SINGLE, the setting for the Local parameter is deactivated, and when you finger the keyboard, only the patch for the current Part sounds.

RxSWITCH (Receive Switch)

Specify whether each Part will receive certain MIDI messages or not.

Volume (Receive Volume Switch)

If you want the Part to receive Volume messages, turn this ON. If not, turn this OFF.

Hold-1 (Receive Hold 1 Switch)

If you want the Part to receive Hold 1 messages, turn this ON. If not, turn this OFF.

Program Change

(Receive Program Change Switch)

If you want the Part to receive Program Change messages, turn this ON. If not, turn this OFF.

*If you want a Part to receive Program Change messages, you must also turn the Program Change parameter ON (SYSTEM/

MIDI/RECEIVE MIDI).

TRANSMIT (Transmit Bank Select)

BankSelectGroup (Transmit Bank Select Group)

When you select a Performance, Bank Select and Program Change messages will be transmitted for the Patch or Rhythm Set assigned to each Part as determined by this setting. PATCH: When you select a Performance, Bank Select

messages and Program Change messages for the Patch/Rhythm Set that is assigned to each Part will not be transmitted.

BS1-7:When you select a Performance, Bank Select and Program Change messages will be transmitted for the Patch/Rhythm Set that is assigned to each Part. In this case, the Bank Select Number that is transmitted will be determined by the Bank Select Group (BS1–7) setting. In the BANK SEL GROUP display (SYSTEM/MIDI) you can set the Bank Select number for each Bank Select Group.
