Turning the power on/off
When you finish making connections, turn the power
on using the following procedure.
* Be sure that the volumes of the amp and mixer are
turned to the minimum setting. This will prevent
the speakers from being damaged by noise that may
occur when the power is turned on.
1. Turn on the power of the XP-10.
2. Turn on the power of the mixer and amp etc.
3. Raise the volume controls to an appropriate setting.
Play the keyboard and check that sound is produced.
* The XP-10 contains a protection circuit that inserts a
short interval after power is turned on until opera-
tion begins.
To turn the power off, reverse the power-on procedure.
* When you turn off the power of the XP-10, the set-
tings you have modified (Performances, Tones,
Drum Sets) will be lost. Before you turn the power
off, be sure to store your changes. For
Performances, refer to “Selecting an entirely differ-
ent set of XP-10 settings while you play
(Performance)” (p.31). For Tones and Drum Sets,
refer to Chapter 4. “Creating your own Tone or
Drum Set” (p.34).
Basic operation
To change a setting, press the appropriate button to
view the setting of the desired function. There are two
ways to set the value.
Using the numeric keys ([1]—{0]) to select sounds
You can use the numeric keys to select Tones, Drum
Sets, and Performances.
Use the numeric keys to specify the number, and
press [ENTER] to finalize the number.
The displayed number will stop blinking.
If you enter the wrong number, press [CANCEL]
instead of [ENTER]. The original number will reap-
pear, allowing you to re-specify the desired number.
* If you move to a different display when the number
is still blinking, the setting will revert to the original
number. Be sure to press [ENTER] before moving to
a different display.
