Using Phrase Preview to Play
Patches
The XP-30 allows you to preview Patches by hearing a
phrase appropriate for each type of Patch.
1. Select a Patch (p. 47).
2. Press and hold [PHRASE PREVIEW].
* When a Performance is selected, the Patch of the Part for which
settings are being made will sound. When a Rhythm Set is
selected, a drum phrase will sound.
* Patches of the USER group or from an optional Wave
Expansion Board (SR-JV80 series) may not sound at the
appropriate pitch range. In this case, use [+OCT] or [-OCT]
(the Octave Shift function) to set an appropriate pitch range.
* If the range of the phrase is wider than the range of the Tones
within the Patch (p. 70), or wider than the range of the Parts
within the Performance (p. 83), the portion of the phrase that
exceeds the range will not sound.
3. The phrase will stop playing when you take your finger
off [PHRASE PREVIEW].
4. Hold down [SHIFT] and press [PHRASE PREVIEW], and
the PREVIEW SELECT display will appear. Here you can
specify how the phrase will be played (Mode), and select
the phrase that will play (Patch Category).

5. To specify how the phrase will be played, use the cursor
buttons to move the cursor to the Mode parameter.
6. Rotate the VALUE dial or press [INC]/[DEC] to make
the setting.
Mode (Preview Sound Mode)
SINGLE: The notes specified by Note 1–4 parameter
(SYSTEM/PREVIEW/PREVIEW KEY) will
sound successively one by one.
CHORD: The notes specified by Note 1–4 parameter
(SYSTEM/PREVIEW/PREVIEW KEY) will
sound simultaneously.
PHRASE: The phrase prepared for the Patch type (category)
will sound.
* This setting is linked with the Mode parameter (SYSTEM/
PREVIEW/PREVIEW MODE).
7. If you set the Mode parameter to PHRASE, you can
specify the phrase that will sound. Use the cursor
buttons to move the cursor to the Patch Category
parameter.
* If a rhythm set is selected, this will be fixed at DRUMS, and it
will not be possible to change the phrase that is played.
