10 STEPS TO INSTANT GRATIFICATION (SETUP AND CHECKOUT)
1. Connect the Main outputs (either left or right for a mono monitoring system, or both for
stereo) to a musical instrument amplifier, PA, or plug headphones into the headphone
output on the back of the XR20. The amp and XR20 volume control (on back) should be all
the way down (counter-clockwise).
2. Leave the MIDI OUT jack (rear panel) disconnected for now.
3. Plug the XR20's AC adapter into the wall. The smaller plug inserts in the 12V DC Power
jack on the back.
4. Turn on the rear panel ON/OFF switch, and then turn on the amplifier.
5. The LCD will illuminate. The upper right of the
display should say PATTERN and not SONG;
if it shows SONG, press the
PATTERN/SONG button so the display
shows PATTERN.
6. Start hitting the pads. Adjust the volume
control for a comfortable listening level, and
check out the sounds.
7. Try pressing one of the Pad Play Mode buttons (DRUMS, 1-SHOT, SYNTH) to access the
different instrument layers and play the pads.
8. To hear the built-in demo, hold down the PATTERN/SONG button and press PLAY. To stop
the demo, press STOP. If you want to play along with the demo, feel free to bash away on
the pads.
9. To hear a Preset Pattern, stop the XR20 and
press the PRESET / USER button to select
Preset Patterns (the display should show
PRESET). Then, press PLAY to hear the
Preset Pattern.
10. Try the following:
While in Preset Patterns, enter a two-
digit number between 00-99 using the
number keys, then press PLAY.
Press the INC button to select the next higher-numbered Preset Pattern. It will play at
the end of the current Pattern.
Press the DEC button to select the next lower-numbered Preset Pattern.
Press the B button to select the B variation of the selected Pattern.
Press the A button to select the A variation of the selected Pattern.
Press FILL briefly while a Main (A or B) Pattern is playing. Note how the Main Pattern
switches from either A to B or B to A after the Fill has played.
Press FILL and hold it down until after the Fill has played. If the FILL button is held
down past the next downbeat, the Fill's associated Main Pattern (A or B) continues to
play rather than switch from A to B or B to A.
Hold down TAP TEMPO and use the VALUE dial (or INC / DEC buttons) to change the
tempo.
