Chapter 6. Getting the Full Potential of the XP-30
Using External MIDI Devices
■
Using the XP-30 to Control
External MIDI Devices
1. Use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT connector of the
XP-30 to the MIDI IN connector of the external MIDI device.
fig.6-01.e
2. Set the XP-30’s transmit channel to match the external
MIDI device’s receive channel.
The transmit channel is determined by the following
parameters.
- Patch mode
Tx-Ch parameter (SYSTEM/MIDI/PATCH MIDI)
- Performance mode
Channel parameter (PERFORM/MIDI/MIDI)
Turn the Tx parameter (PERFORM/MIDI/MIDI) to ON.

- Performance mode
Channel parameter (PERFORM/MIDI/MIDI)
Turn the Tx parameter (PERFORM/MIDI/MIDI) to ON.
3. If you want to play only the sound source of the external
MIDI device, set the Local parameter (SYSTEM/MIDI/
PATCH MIDI) / (SYSTEM/MIDI/PERFORM MIDI) to OFF.

If you wish to connect two or more external MIDI devices,
use the MIDI THRU connector of the external MIDI device.

Selecting XP-30 Sounds from
an External MIDI Device
By transmitting Bank Select messages (controller number 0
and 32) and Program Change messages from the external
MIDI device to the XP-30, you can select Patches,
Performances, or Rhythm Sets. In other words, when you
select sounds on an external MIDI keyboard, the
corresponding MIDI message will be transmitted to the XP-
30, causing the XP-30 to select the appropriate Patch, etc.

* If the XP-30 receives only Program Change messages without
receiving Bank Select messages, it will select sounds only from
the currently selected group such as PR-A or USER.
