Chapter 1. Overview of the XP-30
Assigning a Name
The XP-30 lets you assign names to Patches, Performances, and 
Rhythm Sets. The procedure is the same for any type of data.
To assign a name, use [
]/[
] to move the cursor to the 
location where you wish to input a character. Then use the 
VALUE dial or [INC]/[DEC] or the Numeric Keys to input a 
character.
Available characters/symbols:
space, A—Z, a—z, 0—9, + - * / | = ! ? < > ( ) [ ] 
 
 : ; . , “ ‘ ` # % 
& $ ¥ @ ^ _
Using the Numeric Keys
The numeric keys are used to input the numerals printed on 
each key as well as the characters assigned to each key (see 
the table below). Each time you press a numeric key, the 
display will cycle through the numeral and characters 
printed above the key. To specify a lowercase character, hold 
down [SHIFT] as you press the numeric key.
