Chapter 2

Playing in Rhythm Set Mode

In Rhythm Set mode, you can play percussion instruments

(Rhythm Tones) on the keyboard. As the Rhythm Tone

assigned to each key varies by the Rhythm Set selected, you

can play a wide range of percussion instruments.

■ Selecting a Rhythm Set

The XP-30 contains a total of twelve rhythm sets, organized

into six groups (User and Preset A–E) with two rhythm sets

in each group. In addition, the rhythm sets of two popular

Wave Expansion Boards (“Session” and “Techno Collection”)

are onboard. Furthermore, you can install up to two

separately sold Wave Expansion Boards, giving you access to

an even larger number of percussion instruments.

USER

The XP-30’s user memory contains two Rhythm Sets that can

be rewritten to make up your own Rhythm Sets.

PR-A–C, E (Preset A–C, E)

The XP-30 includes eight preset Rhythm Sets that are not

user-rewritable. But you can call up preset Rhythm Set

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

them in user memory.

PR-D (GM (General MIDI))

GM Rhythm Sets are for instruments compatible with the

General MIDI System intended to standardize MIDI

specifications among different equipment makers or models.

The XP-30 offers two GM Rhythm Sets that are not user-

rewritable. But you can call up GM Rhythm Set settings into

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

user memory.

XP-A and C (Internal Wave Expansion)

The rhythm sets of two Wave Expansion Boards (16 rhythm

sets) are already built-in, and cannot be rewritten. However,

you can modify the settings of the currently selected rhythm

set, and then save the modified settings in User memory.

XP-D, E (Wave Expansion Boards installed in

EXP-D, E Slots)

These Rhythm Sets are included in optional Wave Expansion

Boards and are not user-rewritable. But you can call up

Rhythm Set 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.

1. Press [RHYTHM] to call up the RHYTHM PLAY display.

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

Rhythm Set.

[CATEGORY] takes you to the display shown below, where you

can verify the total number of selectable Rhythm Sets (a), and

the number within the sequence of the currently selected

Rhythm Set (b), and choose a Rhythm Set.
