Chapter 2. Playing the XP-10
Trying out the Tones
The XP-10 contains many different Tones (sounds).
Here’s how to select Tones and play them.
Types of Tone
There are two types of Tone.
Preset Tones
A total of 338 Tones (sounds) are preset inside the XP-
10. Of these, 128 of the principal Tones are called
“Capital Tones.” Tones that are similar to a Capital
Tone are called "Variations." Some Tones have more
than one Variation, and other Tones have no
Variations at all. Capital Tones are organized into
groups of eight Tones, and there are 16 groups, such
as piano, organ, guitar, etc.

* For details on the Tone Groups and the number and
name of the Tones, refer to “Tone list” (p.71).
* The Variations of the XP-10 are divided into two
types; Tones which are specified by the GS Format
and Tones which are original to the XP-10. For
details refer to “Tone list” (p.71).
User Tones
These are Tones which can store Preset Tones that
you have modified. There are a total of 256 User
Tones, organized as Tones 1-128 in User 1, and Tones
1-128 in User 2. With the factory settings, Tones 1-112
in Userl use XP-10 Original Tones, and 113-128 use
Capital Tones and modified Preset Tones. User 2 con-
tains Capital Tones of the same number.
* To modify a Tone, refer to Chapter 4 “Creating your
own Tone” (p.34).
