■ Selecting a Patch<br />

The 768 patches of the XP-30 are organized into six groups of<br />

128 patches: User, and Preset A–E. In addition, the patches of<br />

three popular Wave Expansion Boards (“Session,”<br />

“Orchestral,” and “Techno Collection”) are also stored<br />

onboard. Furthermore, you can install up to two separately<br />

available Wave Expansion Boards, which will allow you to<br />

choose from as many as 2044 patches.<br />

USER<br />

The XP-30’s user memory contains 128 Patches that can be<br />

rewritten to create your own Patches.<br />

PR-A–C, E (Presets A–C, E)<br />

The XP-30 includes 512 preset Patches that are not userrewritable.<br />

But you can call up preset Patch settings into the<br />

temporary area, modify them, and then store them in User<br />

memory.<br />

PR-D (GM (General MIDI))<br />

GM Patches are for instruments compatible with the GM<br />

System. The aim of this system is to standardize MIDI<br />

specifications among different equipment makers or models.<br />

The XP-30 contains 128 GM Patches that are not userrewritable.<br />

But you can call up GM Patch settings into the<br />

temporary area, modify them, and then store them in User<br />

memory.<br />

XP-A–C (Internal Wave Expansion)<br />

The patches of three Wave Expansion Boards (766 patches)<br />

are already built into the XP-30, and cannot be rewritten.<br />

However you may modify the settings of the currently<br />

selected patch, and then store the modified patch in User<br />

memory.<br />

2. Rotate the VALUE dial or press [INC]/[DEC] to select a<br />

Patch.<br />
