Chapter 6. Getting the Full Potential of the XP-30
■ Modifying Multi-Effects to
Match the System’s Tempo
1. Select PR-C:094 Albion on the PATCH PLAY display.
2. Set the Source parameter (PATCH/COMMON/PATCH
CLOCK) to SYSTEM.
3. Make sure that the Type parameter (PATCH/EFFECTS/
PATCH EFX TYPE) is set to STEP-FLANGER. If not, reset.
4. Make sure that the Step Rate parameter (PATCH/
EFFECTS/PATCH EFX PRM) is set as a note value. If
not, reset using a note value.
5. Set the Clock Source parameter (SYSTEM/SETUP/
SYSTEM SETUP) to INT.
6. Try playing the keyboard while you change the System
Tempo parameter (SYSTEM/SETUP/SYSTEM SETUP)
to various values.
You’ll notice that the tempo of the Patch’s modulation
changes in accordance to the tempo clock of the XP-30’s
system.
You can modify EFX parameter values in accordance to the
system’s tempo clock, when you have selected the following
types for the EFX Type parameter.
Type EFX Parameter
16: STEP-FLANGER Step Rate parameter
19: TRIPLE-TAP-DELAY Delay L–R parameter
20: QUADRUPLE-TAP-DELAY Delay 1–4 parameter
* When you have selected PR-B:057, 065, 068, PR-C:094, 096, and
098, it is also possible to sync the EFX parameter variations of the
sequencer’s tempo clock by setting the Source parameter (PATCH/
COMMON/PATCH CLOCK) to SYSTEM. Try it and see.
■ Using a Pedal Switch to Modify
the Rotary Speed of the Rotary
Effect
1. Call up the CONTROL PEDAL display (SYSTEM/
CONTROL) and set the Assign parameter to
CC04:FOOT-TYPE.
2. Select PR-A:054 Rocker Spin on the PATCH PLAY
display.
This Patch uses ROTARY as the EFX type.
3. Call up the PATCH EFX CTRL display (PATCH/
EFFECTS), then set the Speed parameter to FOOT:+63.
4. Connect an optional pedal switch to the CONTROL
PEDAL jack.
5. When you wish to speed up the rotary effect, press the
pedal switch. Releasing the pedal switch will slow down
the rotary effect.
■ Playing Phrase Loops at a
System’s Tempo
The internal wave expansion XP-C group contains Patches
derived from waveforms with tempo (BPM) indication
(phrase loops). You can play these phrase loops in sync with
the system’s tempo.
1. Select XP-C:001 Teknoperator on the PATCH PLAY
display.
2. Set the Source parameter (PATCH/COMMON/PATCH
CLOCK) to SYSTEM.
3. Call up the WAVE display (PATCH/WAVE).
4. Change the Tone by pressing TONE SELECT [1]–[4] and
look for the Tone that uses waveforms with BPM
indication.
The wave name will appear in parentheses ( ) below the
Number parameter. You’ll notice that for this example, Patch
Tone 1 uses a phrase loop called 132:Detroit.
5. Call up the TONE DELAY display (PATCH/WAVE).
6. Set the Tone 1’s Mode parameter to TEMPO-SYNC.
7. Set the Clock Source parameter (SYSTEM/SETUP/
SYSTEM SETUP) to INT.
8. Try playing the keyboard while you change the System
Tempo parameter (SYSTEM/SETUP/SYSTEM SETUP)
to various values.
The phrase loop speed will change in accordance to the
system’s tempo clock.
* The phrase loop will sound with the system’s tempo regardless
of which key you press. The settings for pitch and FXM will be
ignored.
