Modifying Waveform of a Rhythm Tone Wave, Mute Group

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.

■Controlling How a Rhythm Tone will Sound with

Controllers (CONTROL)

The parameters in this group determine how the controllers function and how instruments in a Rhythm Set will sound.

CONTROL

These parameters determine how each note is controlled.

Bend Range

Specify the amount of pitch change (in semitones) that will occur when the Pitch Bend Lever is moved (maximum +1 octave).

Env Mode (Envelope Mode)

When a loop-type Wave is selected, it will normally continue to sound as long as the key is pressed. If you want it to decay naturally even if the key remains pressed, set this to NO-SUS.

*If a one-shot type Wave is selected, it will not sustain even if this parameter is set to SUSTAIN.

Mute Group

The Mute Group function lets you specify that certain Rhythm Tones not be allowed to sound simultaneously. Taking the example of an acoustic drum set, it is obviously impossible for an open hi-hat and a closed hi-hat sound to occur simultaneously. To simulate this type of situation on the XP- 30, set each hi-hat sound to the same Mute Group number. Up to 31 Mute Groups can be used. If you do not want a Rhythm Tone to use a Mute Group, turn it OFF.

RxSWITCH (Receive Switch)

These parameters determine how each key will receive Volume / Pan / Hold 1 MIDI messages.

Volume (Receive Volume Switch)

If you want Volume messages to be received, turn this parameter ON. If not, turn it OFF.

*In order for Volume messages to be received, the Volume parameter (PERFORM/MIDI/RxSWITCH) must also be turned ON for Part 10 of the currently selected Performance.

Pan (Receive Pan Control Switch)

Specify how Pan messages will be received.

OFF: Not received.

CONT: Whenever a Pan message is received, it will immediately change the stereo location of the sound.

KEY-ON:The stereo location of the sound will be changed when the next note is played. If a Pan message is received while a note is sounding, the current stereo location will not change until the next note. In this case, the stereo location will change only for the note played later, and the currently sounding note will not move.

Hold-1 (Receive Hold 1 Switch)

If you want Hold 1 messages to be received, turn this parameter ON. If not, turn it OFF.

*In order for Hold 1 messages to be received, the Hold-1 parameter (PERFORM/MIDI/RxSWITCH) must also be turned ON for Part 10 of the currently selected Performance.
