Troubleshooting
Appendices
- Does the MIDI send channel for the XP-30s controller
match the MIDI receive channel for the connected MIDI
instrument?
In the Patch mode, make the setting for the Tx-Ch parameter
(SYSTEM/MIDI/PATCH MIDI) (p. 112).
In the Performance mode, set the MIDI send channel with the
Channel parameter (PERFORM/MIDI/MIDI) (p. 86).
A Specific Keyboard Area Does Not
Sound
- Has a restricted range of notes been set?
If a specific range of notes does not sound, check the Key
Range settings for the patch and performance in the KEY
RANG display (PATCH/COMMON) and KEY RANG
display (PERFORM/COMMON). If both key ranges have
been set, only the notes specified in both settings will sound.
Sound Is Distorted
- Is an effect which distorts the sound being applied? (p. 93)
- If the sound is distorted for specific patches or parts,
lower the volume level of those patches or parts (p. 81, 87).
- If all sounds are distorted, use the VOLUME slider to
lower the volume level.
Pitch Is Incorrect
- Is the tuning of the XP-30 incorrect?
Check the Master parameter (SYSTEM/TUNE/TUNE) (p.
113).
- Has the pitch been changed by pedal operations or by
pitch change messages received from an external MIDI
device?
Use the Panic function to reset the original values (p. 60).
If you are in Performance mode, access the INFO display
(PERFORM/INFO) to check the settings of the Pitch Bend
Message parameter (Bend), and make the appropriate
settings (p. 87).
- Have the Coarse Tune or Fine Tune parameters been set
for specific parts?
Check the Coarse parameter and Fine parameter
(PERFORM/PART/SETTING) (p. 87).
Effects Do Not Apply
- Is the effect switch turned OFF for Multi-Effects, Chorus,
or Reverb?
To check these settings, press [EFFECTS ON/OFF] (p. 62).
Sounds Are Interrupted
- If you attempt to play more than 64 voices at once, sounds
will be interrupted (p. 42).
Reduce the number of Tones that you are using (p. 50, 76).
Increase the Voice Reserve setting for parts that must not
drop out (p. 87).
Exclusive Messages Are Not Received
- Does the Device ID number of the transmitted exclusive
message match the Device ID number of this unit?
Check the Device# parameter (SYSTEM/MIDI/SYS-EXC
MIDI) (p. 113).
This Unit Does Not Transmit MIDI Data
- If you wish to transmit this unit data via the Computer
connector, set the COMPUTER switch to PC-1, PC-2 or
Mac, depending on the computer or software you are
using (p. 134).
- When the rear panel COMPUTER switch is set to MIDI,
this unit will not transmit data from the COMPUTER
connector. In this case, data will be transmitted from the
MIDI OUT connector.
When Using Sequencing Software,
Operating the Sliders or Other
Controls Does Not Affect the Sound
- Some sequencer software does not soft-thru system
exclusive messages. If you are using this type of sequencer
software and wish to record system exclusive messages,
turn the XP-30s Local parameter ON (p. 112).
