Chapter 3. Creating Your Own Sounds<br />

Functions of Performance<br />

Parameters<br />

fig.3-11<br />

■ Settings Common to the Entire<br />

Performance (COMMON)<br />

This display is used when setting parameters that are not part of<br />

other groups. These include Performance Name and Key Mode.<br />

SINGLE: When you play the keyboard, only the specified<br />

Part (the Part shown in the display) will sound.<br />

MIDI messages will be transmitted from the<br />

controller section to the external MIDI devices<br />

even if the Local parameter and Tx parameter<br />

settings for each Part (PERFORM/MIDI/MIDI)<br />

are turned off.<br />

* If you have selected a Layer-type Performance, the upper right of<br />

the PERFORM PLAY display will indicate “LAYER p*” (* is<br />

the part number). If you have selected a Single-type<br />

Performance, the number of the Part that can be played from the<br />

keyboard will be displayed.<br />

PERFORM NAME (Performance Name)<br />

You can assign a name to the Performance of up to 12 characters.<br />

* For details on assigning names, refer to “Assigning a Name”<br />

(p. 46).<br />

PERFORM CLOCK<br />

Some parameters allow you to set a time value in terms of a<br />

note length which is determined by a specified tempo; Rate<br />

parameters (PATCH/LFO/LFO1, 2), Time parameter<br />

(PATCH/WAVE/TONE DELAY), and some Multi-Effects<br />

parameters. The specified tempo used by these parameters<br />

can be set for each Patch. However when a Patch is used in<br />

Performance mode, the Patch settings will be ignored, and<br />

the settings of this display will be used instead.<br />

Source (Performance Clock Source)<br />

Select the source of the Performance Clock.<br />

PERFORM: Synchronize to the Performance Tempo setting.<br />

SYSTEM: Synchronize to the tempo clock of the ststem.<br />

* The Performance Clock does not transmit clock messages from<br />

MIDI OUT connector.<br />

Tempo (Performance Tempo)<br />

Set the Performance Tempo setting.<br />

* When Source (Performance Clock Source) is set to SYSTEM,<br />

synchronization will be according to the tempo clock of the<br />

system, so it will not be possible to set the tempo value. The<br />

tempo of the system will be displayed in parentheses ( ).<br />

PERFORM COMMON<br />

Key Mode<br />

This parameter determines how the sound source will be<br />

played from the XP-30’s keyboard.<br />

LAYER: When you play the keyboard, all Parts whose Local<br />

parameter (PERFORM/MIDI/MIDI) is turned on<br />

will sound. Transmission of MIDI messages from<br />

the controller section to external MIDI devices will<br />

be determined by the Tx parameter setting<br />

(PERFORM/MIDI/MIDI) of each Part.<br />

* If LAYER has been selected and you try to play Patches of all<br />

Parts, you probably won’t be able to play many simultaneous<br />

voices. When layering Patches, be aware of the number of voices<br />

available and turn off unnecessary Parts. Making Key Range<br />

settings for each Part allows you to split the keyboard to play<br />

different Parts in separate sections.<br />

* To switch between SINGLE and LAYER from the PERFORM<br />

PLAY display, hold down [SHIFT] while you press [SOLO].<br />

Key Range (Key Range Switch)<br />

This parameter determines whether or not the Key Range<br />

settings (next display) will be applied or not. If you want<br />

them to be applied, turn this ON.<br />

KEY RANG (Key Range)<br />

Set the range in which each Part will sound. Use this when<br />

you wish to play different Patches in different areas of the<br />

keyboard.<br />

Lower (Key Range Lower)<br />

Set the lowest note that the Part will play.<br />

Upper (Key Range Upper)<br />

Set the highest note that the Part will play.<br />

* If Key Range settings have been made for the Patch, only the<br />

notes for which the Key Range settings of the Patch and<br />

Performance overlap will play.<br />

* It is not possible to set Lower to a value greater than Upper, nor<br />

Upper to a value less than Lower. If you attempt to do so, both<br />

values will change together.<br />

* If you have used Octave Shift (System) or the Transpose<br />

parameter (SYSTEM/CONTROL/KEYBOARD) to transpose<br />

the pitch of the XP-30’s keyboard, the keyboard area specified by<br />

Key Range will also be shifted.<br />

KEYBOARD<br />

Octave Shift<br />

This parameter adjusts the pitch of each Part in units of an<br />

octave (-3–+3 octaves).<br />
