NOTE
Changes you make are temporary, and are discarded if you turn off the
power or select another sound.
If you want to keep the changes you made, save the settings (p. 27).
Equal Temperament
This tuning divides the octave into 12 equal steps, and is the most widely
used method of temperament used in Western music. The XPS-10 employs
equal temperament when the Scale Tune Switch is set to "OFF. "
Just Intonation (Tonic of C)
Compared with equal temperament, the principle triads sound pure in this
tuning. However, this effect is achieved only in one key, and the triads will
become ambiguous if you transpose.
Arabian Scale
In this scale, E and B are a quarter tone lower and C#, F# and G# are a quarter
tone higher compared to equal temperament. The intervals between G and B,
C and E, F and G#, Bb and C#, and Eb and F# have a neutral third-the interval
between a major third and a minor third. On the XPS-10, you can use Arabian
temperament in the three keys of G, C and F.

Editing Effect Settings (EFFECTS EDIT)

You can use different effect settings in Patch mode and in Performance
mode ([PERFORM] button lit).
In Patch mode
You can use multi-effect (MFX), chorus, and reverb for each tone.
In Performance mode
For each setting, you can use a maximum of three multi-effects (MFX1,
MFX2, MFX3), one chorus, and one reverb. For Split or Dual, you can use
two multi-effects (MFX1, MFX2).
When in 16-part mode, you can use three multi-effects (MFX1, MFX2,
MFX3).
The details are as follows.
For Split
MFX1 applied to upper, MFX2 applied to lower.
