Memory Card-Related
Settings (CARD)
XP-30 can use an optional memory card (S2M-5 (2MByte) or
S4M-5 (4MByte)).
Use this card when you wish to save data for which there is
no more space in the internal USER group, or so that the data
you created can be used on another XP-30.
Memory card must be formatted before they can be used.
* When you select “1: CARD” in the UTIL 2 group, the following
CARD display will appear. Select the function you wish to
execute.

File number
File name
Destination
Set the transmission destination to USER.
* If the Type parameter has been set to PERFORM, PATCH, or
RHYTHM, specify the first number of the transmission
destination.
Before Using a Memory Card
* The power of the XP-30 must be turned off before inserting or
removing a memory card. If a memory card is inserted when the
power is turned on, the data in the memory card may be
destroyed, or the memory card may become unusable.
Preventing User Memory
Writing Operation (PROTECT)
This function prevents user memory from being rewritten to
ensure Patch, Performance or Rhythm Set data will not
accidentally be lost.
fig.4-30
Internal (Internal Write Protect)
The Internal write Protect setting prevents the Write
operation from rewriting user memory. When this setting is
ON, the data cannot be rewritten. When this is OFF, the data
can be rewritten. When the XP-30’s power is turned on, this
setting is always turned ON, so you will need to turn it OFF
before rewriting user memory settings. It is also possible to
turn this setting OFF as part of the Write procedure.
* Be sure to insert the memory card all the way into the slot.
* Do not touch the contacts of the memory card, or allow them to
become soiled.
* Never remove the memory card or turn off the power while an
operation (formatting, or data read/write) is being performed on
the memory card. Doing so will destroy the data in the memory
card and/or render the memory card unusable.
* If you affix the write protect label to the write protect area of the
memory card, it will be impossible to format the card or write
data to it. If you wish to format the card or write data to it, do so
without the label affixed. For details on the write protect label,
refer to the instruction included with your memory card.
If you attempt to format the card or write data to it when the
write protect label is affixed, the following message will
appear.

Chapter 4
Exclusive (Exclusive Protect)
The Exclusive Protect setting prevents System Exclusive
messages received from an external MIDI device from
rewriting user memory settings. When this setting is ON, the
data cannot be rewritten. When this is OFF, the data can be
rewritten by an incoming exclusive message, even if the
Internal Write Protect setting is ON.
