Chapter 3. Creating Your Own Sounds
■ Turning Effects On/Off
Built-in effects units (Multi-Effects, Chorus and Reverb) can
be turned on/off for the XP-30 as a whole. Turn them off if
you want to edit sound while listening to the original sound
or if you want to use external effects units.
1. Press [EFFECTS ON/OFF] to call up the EFFECTS ON/
OFF display.
fig.3-04
2. Press [ ] or [ ] to move the cursor to the effect that
you wish to modify.
3. Rotate the VALUE dial or press [INC]/[DEC] to switch it
on/off.
4. When you finish making settings, press [EFFECTS ON/
OFF] or [EXIT] to return to the previous display.
* When the EFX (multi-effects), Chorus, and Reverb processors
are all off, the [EFFECTS ON/OFF] indicator goes out, showing
that the onboard effects processors are not used.
Sound Editing Procedures
With the XP-30, you have total control over various settings.
Each item to be set is a parameter. Editing refers to
modifying any parameter value. This section goes over
editing procedures for Patches, Performances and Rhythm
Sets.
■ Editing a Patch
Start by editing a preexisting Patch to create a new one. Since
a Patch is a combination of up to any four Tones, you should
listen to how the individual Tones sound before you edit.
Four Tips for Editing Patches
Start with a Patch that’s somewhat familiar sounding
It’s hard to create a new sound that’s exactly what you
want if you just select a Patch and modify its
parameters at random. It makes sense to start with a
Patch whose sound is related to what you have in mind.
Deciding on the Tone to use
When creating a Patch, deciding on the Tones you’ll use
is crucial. For each Tone, use the TONE SWITCH [1]–[4]
to decide whether to turn it on (have it sound) or off.
Turn off Tones you don’t need to avoid using more
voices than required. A Tone switches on/off each time
its respective button is pressed. When a Tone’s
indicator lights, it’ll sound.
Check the Structure setting
The important Type parameter (PATCH/COMMON/
STRUCT) determines how the four Tones combine.
Before editing Tones, make sure you really understand
how they work together.
Turn off effects
Since XP-30 effects really influence the sound, turn
them off to listen to the sound itself so you can better
evaluate the changes you’re making. Sometimes just
changing effects settings can give you the sound you
want.
