Playing in Rhythm Set Mode
In Rhythm Set mode, you can play percussion instruments
(Rhythm Tones) on the keyboard. As the Rhythm Tone
assigned to each key varies by the Rhythm Set selected, you
can play a wide range of percussion instruments.
■ Selecting a Rhythm Set
The XP-30 contains a total of twelve rhythm sets, organized
into six groups (User and Preset A–E) with two rhythm sets
in each group. In addition, the rhythm sets of two popular
Wave Expansion Boards (“Session” and “Techno Collection”)
are onboard. Furthermore, you can install up to two
separately sold Wave Expansion Boards, giving you access to
an even larger number of percussion instruments.
USER
The XP-30’s user memory contains two Rhythm Sets that can
be rewritten to make up your own Rhythm Sets.
PR-A–C, E (Preset A–C, E)
The XP-30 includes eight preset Rhythm Sets that are not
user-rewritable. But you can call up preset Rhythm Set
settings into the temporary area, modify them, and then store
them in user memory.
PR-D (GM (General MIDI))
GM Rhythm Sets are for instruments compatible with the
General MIDI System intended to standardize MIDI
specifications among different equipment makers or models.
The XP-30 offers two GM Rhythm Sets that are not user-
rewritable. But you can call up GM Rhythm Set settings into
the temporary area, modify them, and then store them in
user memory.
XP-A and C (Internal Wave Expansion)
The rhythm sets of two Wave Expansion Boards (16 rhythm
sets) are already built-in, and cannot be rewritten. However,
you can modify the settings of the currently selected rhythm
set, and then save the modified settings in User memory.
XP-D, E (Wave Expansion Boards installed in
EXP-D, E Slots)
These Rhythm Sets are included in optional Wave Expansion
Boards and are not user-rewritable. But you can call up
Rhythm Set settings into the temporary area, modify them,
and then store them in user memory.
* A Patch XP-D, E cannot be accessed if the Wave Expansion
Board it belongs to has not been installed.
1. Press [RHYTHM] to call up the RHYTHM PLAY display.
fig.2-14.e
2. Rotate the VALUE dial or press [INC]/[DEC] to select a
Rhythm Set.
* Here, pressing [0] (on the numeric key) while holding down
[CATEGORY] takes you to the display shown below, where you
can verify the total number of selectable Rhythm Sets (a), and
the number within the sequence of the currently selected
Rhythm Set (b), and choose a Rhythm Set.
