Chapter 2. Playing

Playing in Patch Mode

Patches are what you normally play during a performance.

Select a Patch before playing.

■ Selecting a Patch

The 768 patches of the XP-30 are organized into six groups of

128 patches: User, and Preset A–E. In addition, the patches of

three popular Wave Expansion Boards (“Session,”

“Orchestral,” and “Techno Collection”) are also stored

onboard. Furthermore, you can install up to two separately

available Wave Expansion Boards, which will allow you to

choose from as many as 2044 patches.

USER

The XP-30’s user memory contains 128 Patches that can be

rewritten to create your own Patches.

PR-A–C, E (Presets A–C, E)

The XP-30 includes 512 preset Patches that are not user-

rewritable. But you can call up preset Patch settings into the

temporary area, modify them, and then store them in User

memory.

PR-D (GM (General MIDI))

GM Patches are for instruments compatible with the GM

System. The aim of this system is to standardize MIDI

specifications among different equipment makers or models.

The XP-30 contains 128 GM Patches that are not user-

rewritable. But you can call up GM Patch settings into the

temporary area, modify them, and then store them in User

memory.

XP-A–C (Internal Wave Expansion)

The patches of three Wave Expansion Boards (766 patches)

are already built into the XP-30, and cannot be rewritten.

However you may modify the settings of the currently

selected patch, and then store the modified patch in User

memory.

XP-D, E (Wave Expansion Boards installed in

EXP-D, E Slots)

The Patches included in optional Wave Expansion Boards are

not user-rewritable. But you can call up those Patch settings

into the temporary area, modify them, and then store them in

User memory.

* A Patch XP-D, E cannot be accessed if the Wave Expansion

Board it belongs to has not been installed.
