Chapter 3. Creating Your Own Sounds
Regarding Effects
The XP-30 contains three independent effects units.
Multi-Effects (EFX)
The Multi-Effects offers 40 different effects ranging from
single effects such as distortion and delay to powerful
combination effects. The Multi-Effects also includes chorus
and reverb effects which are independent of the Chorus and
Reverb outlined below.
Chorus
Chorus adds depth and spaciousness to the sound.
Reverb
Reverb adds reverberation characteristics of hall or
auditorium ambiences.
Connection of the three effects units depend on the mode
you’ve selected.
■ How Effects Units Work in
Different Modes
In Patch Mode
The Multi-Effects, Chorus and Reverb effects can be set
individually for each Patch. Adjusting the signal level to be
sent to each effects unit (Send Level) provides control over
the effect intensity that’s applied to each Tone.

In Performance Mode/GM Mode
The Multi-Effects, Chorus and Reverb effects can be set
individually for each Performance and GM mode. The
intensity of each effect will be set for each Part (Fig. 1), but
the Send Level setting for each Tone can also influence effect
intensity (Fig. 2). Effects settings of the Patch assigned to
each Part will be ignored, but Multi-Effects applied to a Patch
assigned to a given Part can also be applied to the entire
Performance.

In Rhythm Set Mode
Because in Rhythm Set mode, only Part 10 of a Performance
is called up, the effects settings of a Performance in the
temporary area will be used.
