Chapter 5. Using the XP-30 as the GM Sound Module

Reverb (Reverb Send Level)

Adjust the amount of reverb applied to the sound that
passed through Multi-Effects.

GM CHORUS

Make settings for the chorus effect used in GM mode.

* In GM mode, the chorus effect settings for the GM Patch assigned

to each Part will be ignored (except for the Send Level parameter).

Rate (Chorus Rate)

Adjust the speed of modulation for the chorus sound.

Depth (Chorus Depth)

Adjust the depth of modulation for the chorus sound.

Delay (Chorus Pre Delay)

Adjust the time delay from the original sound until when the
chorus sound is heard. Higher settings will create a more
spacious sound.

Fbk (Chorus Feedback Level)

Adjust the amount of sound from the chorus that is returned
(fed back) to the input of the chorus. Higher settings will
result in a more intense effect.

Level (Chorus Level)

Adjust the volume of the chorus sound.

Out (Chorus Output Assign)

Select the way in which the Chorus and Reverb are connected.

MIX:

The Chorus sound and the Reverb sound are mixed.

fig.3-27.e

REV:

Apply reverb to the chorus sound.

fig.3-28.e

M+R:

Mix the chorus sound to which reverb is not applied

and the chorus sound to which reverb is applied.

fig.3-29.e

GM REVERB

Make GM mode reverb settings.

* In GM mode, the reverb effect settings for the GM Patch

assigned to each Part will be ignored (except for the Send Level
parameter).

Type (Reverb/Delay Type)

Select the type of Reverb effect.

ROOM1:

dense reverb with short decay

ROOM2:

sparse reverb with short decay

STAGE1:

reverb with greater late reverberation

STAGE2:

reverb with strong early reflections

HALL1:

reverb with clear reverberance

HALL2:

reverb with rich reverberance

DELAY:

a conventional delay

PAN-DLY:

a delay with echoes that move left and right

Time (Reverb/Delay Time)

Adjust the time of reverberation. If the Type parameter is set
to DELAY or PAN-DLY, this parameter will adjust the time
delay from the original sound until when the first echo will
sound.

Fbk (Delay Feedback Level)

Adjust the amount of delayed sound that is returned (fed
back) to the delay. Higher values result in more delay
repeats.

* If you have selected any one of the Reverb types (ROOM1–

HALL2), this parameter has no effect.

HF Damp (Reverb/Delay HF Damp)

Adjust the frequency above which the reverberant sound will
be cut. As the frequency is set lower, more of the high
frequencies will be cut, resulting in a softer and more muted
reverberance. If you do not want the high frequencies to be
cut, set this parameter to BYPASS.

Level (Reverb/Delay Level)

Adjust the volume of the reverberant (or delayed) sound.

About Effects for GM-Compatible Sound
Modules

Most GM-compatible sound sources provide effects
such as reverb and chorus, but the use of effects is not
included in the GM System Level 1 guidelines. This
means that song data created for the XP-30’s GM mode
that uses Multi-Effects/Reverb/Chorus may not
playback correctly on other GM-compatible sound
sources.
