Chapter 3. Creating Your Own Sounds<br />

Regarding Effects<br />

The XP-30 contains three independent effects units.<br />

Multi-Effects (EFX)<br />

The Multi-Effects offers 40 different effects ranging from<br />

single effects such as distortion and delay to powerful<br />

combination effects. The Multi-Effects also includes chorus<br />

and reverb effects which are independent of the Chorus and<br />

Reverb outlined below.<br />

Chorus<br />

Chorus adds depth and spaciousness to the sound.<br />

Reverb<br />

Reverb adds reverberation characteristics of hall or<br />

auditorium ambiences.<br />

Connection of the three effects units depend on the mode<br />

you’ve selected.<br />

In Performance Mode/GM Mode<br />

The Multi-Effects, Chorus and Reverb effects can be set<br />

individually for each Performance and GM mode. The<br />

intensity of each effect will be set for each Part (Fig. 1), but<br />

the Send Level setting for each Tone can also influence effect<br />

intensity (Fig. 2). Effects settings of the Patch assigned to<br />

each Part will be ignored, but Multi-Effects applied to a Patch<br />

assigned to a given Part can also be applied to the entire<br />

Performance.<br />

■ How Effects Units Work in<br />

Different Modes<br />

In Patch Mode<br />

The Multi-Effects, Chorus and Reverb effects can be set<br />

individually for each Patch. Adjusting the signal level to be<br />

sent to each effects unit (Send Level) provides control over<br />

the effect intensity that’s applied to each Tone.<br />

In Rhythm Set Mode<br />

Because in Rhythm Set mode, only Part 10 of a Performance<br />

is called up, the effects settings of a Performance in the<br />

temporary area will be used.<br />
