Roland XP-30 User Manual

The XP-30 contains three independent effects units.

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 adds depth and spaciousness to the sound.

Reverb adds reverberation characteristics of hall or 
auditorium ambiences.
Connection of the three effects units depend on the mode 
you’ve selected.

■

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.

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.

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.
