Chapter 1. Overview of the XP-30<br />

GM Mode<br />

This special mode makes the XP-30 function as a GM<br />

compatible sound source. You should select this mode when<br />

you want to play back a GM score (music files created for<br />

GM sound source).<br />

To set GM mode, hold down [SHIFT] and press [PERFORM].<br />

[PERFORM], [PATCH] and [RHYTHM] indicators will not<br />

light.<br />

■ About the Function Buttons<br />

Function buttons are buttons that perform a variety of<br />

functions. The function they perform will depend on the<br />

current mode, and on whether [EDIT] is on (lit) or off (dark).<br />

[EDIT] will turn on or off each time you press it.<br />

System Mode<br />

This mode is for determining global XP-30 settings such as<br />

tuning, display contrast and how MIDI messages are<br />

received.<br />

* Some System mode parameters relate to an entire Patch or an<br />

entire Performance. To set these parameters, press [SYSTEM]<br />

in the selected mode (Patch or Performance).<br />

Utility/Card Mode<br />

Here you can save and transmit settings for the sound<br />

generator, and make settings related to memory cards.<br />

* [EDIT] switches the function of the function buttons, but<br />

pressing [EDIT] will not make the display change. If you wish<br />

to modify a setting, press the [EDIT] to make the indicator light,<br />

and then press a function button to select the display group and<br />

switch the display. When you finish making settings, press<br />

[EXIT] or a mode button to switch the display.<br />

In Performance Mode<br />

([EDIT] Indicator is Dark)<br />

fig.1-08<br />

Chapter 1<br />

* Some Utility/Card mode parameters relate to an entire Patch,<br />

Performance or Rhythm Set. To set these parameters, press<br />

[UTIL/CARD] in the selected mode (Patch, Performance or<br />

Rhythm Set).<br />

The function buttons will act as Part buttons ([PART]) that<br />

switch Parts on (lit) or off (dark). Since 16 Parts are being<br />

controlled using only 8 buttons, use [1-8/9-16] to select<br />

which set of Parts you are controlling. When [1-8/9-16]<br />

indicator is dark, you can switch Parts 1–8 on/off. When it is<br />

lit, you can switch Parts 9–16 on/off.<br />

If the [EDIT] indicator is turned off in the Part setting<br />

display, the function buttons will act as PART buttons that<br />

select the Part to be edited.<br />

* The function of the Part on/off setting will depend on the setting<br />

of the Key Mode parameter (PERFORM/COMMON/<br />

PERFORM COMMON) (p. 83).<br />
