Chapter 1. Overview of the XP-30 XP-30 Configuration ■ Basic Configuration The XP-30 consists of a sound source and controllers. fig.1-01.e Sound source section Play ■ Classification of XP-30 Sound Types XP-30 sounds are made up of the following types: Tones In the XP-30, the Tone is the smallest class of sound. Each Tone consists of one sound. But when you play the XP-30 you will mostly play a Patch, which is made up of several Tones. Tones therefore are the elements which collectively form a Patch. Tone configuration: fig.1-02.e Tone LFO 1 LFO 2 Controller section (controllers such as keyboard, pitch bend lever, etc.) Sound Source The XP-30 sound source produces sound by responding to WG TVF TVA commands in the form of MIDI messages received from its controllers. It will also produce sound by responding to commands received from various external devices it can be Pitch Envelope TVF Envelope TVA Envelope connected to. Controllers Controllers include the keyboard, front panel sliders and pedals which are connected to their respective rear panel jacks. Adjusting these controllers enable you to produce or modify sound. audio signal control signal WG (Wave Generator) Using the Wave Generator, you select a waveform and set its pitch. TVF (Time Variant Filter) With the Time Variant Filter, you modify the waveform’s frequency characteristics. TVA (Time Variant Amplifier) With the Time Variant Amplifier, you set volume level and set the sound’s position in a stereo soundfield. Envelope You use Envelope to initiate changes to occur to a sound over time. There are separate Envelopes for the WG (pitch), TVF (filter) and TVA (volume). For example, to modify a sound’s attack and decay time, you would use TVA Envelope to adjust volume changes to the sound over time. LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) Use the LFO to create cyclic changes (modulation) in a sound. The XP-30 has two LFOs. Either one or both can be applied to effect the WG (pitch), TVF (filter) and/or TVA (volume). To illustrate this control’s action, you can apply an LFO to modify the WG (pitch) to create vibrato. If the LFO is used to modify the TVA (volume), you’ll get tremolo. 40
Chapter 1. Overview of the XP-30 Patches Patches are the basic sound configurations that you play during a performance. Each Patch can be configured by combining up to four Tones. How the four Tones are combined is determined on the STRUCT display (PATCH/ COMMON). fig.1-03.e Patch Tone 4 Tone 3 Tone 2 Tone 1 LFO 1 LFO 2 Rhythm Sets A Rhythm Set is a grouping of percussion instruments (Rhythm Tones). Since percussion instruments generally do not play melodies, there is no need for a percussion instrument sound to be able to play a scale on the keyboard. It is however, more important that as many as possible percussion instruments be available to you at the same time. Therefore, each key (Note number) of a Rhythm Set will produce a different percussion instrument. fig.1-05.e Rhythm Set Note Number 98 (D7) Note Number 97 (C#7) Chapter 1 Note Number 36 (C2) Note Number 35 (B1) Rhythm Tone (Percussion instrument sound) WG TVF TVA WG Pitch Envelope TVF TVF Envelope TVA TVA Envelope Performances The next level in sound configuration. A single Performance groups 15 Patches and one Rhythm Set so that they can be combined to play ensembles or produce fabulously rich, thick sounds. One Performance allows a single XP-30 to control up to 16 instrument sounds. Because the XP-30 sound source can control multiple sounds (instruments) it is called a “multitimbral sound source.” fig.1-04.e Pitch Envelope TVF Envelope TVA Envelope Parts When the XP-30 is used as a multitimbral sound source, another sound configuration called a Part comes into play. A Part contains a Patch or Rhythm Set. For multitimbral applications, the Performance consists of 16 Parts. A specific Patch can be assigned to each Part except Part 10 because Part 10 is universally set as the Drum Part to which a Rhythm Set (discussed above) is assigned. In a multitimbral context, it helps to think of a Performance as an orchestra, each Part in it being a musician, and the Patch or Rhythm Set that musician’s instrument.
