* In order to prevent damage to your speaker system,
etc., set the volumes of all devices to the minimum
position and turn the power off before making con-
nections.
Turning the power on/off
When you finish making connections, use the follow-
ing procedure to turn the power on.
* Be sure that the volume controls of your amp
and/or mixer are at the minimum position. This
will prevent speakers from being damaged from the
noise that occurs when the power is turned on.
1. Set the XP-10’s Computer switch to the “MIDI”
position.
* Before moving the Computer switch, make sure that
the XP-10 power is turned off. If you change the set-
ting of this switch with the power turned on, the
unit will not operate correctly.
2. Turn on the XP-10 power.
* This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A
brief interval (a few seconds) after power up is
required before the unit will operate normally.
3. Turn on the sequencer power.
4. Turn on the power of your amp and/or speaker
system, etc.
5. Raise the volume controls of your system to an
appropriate level.
Before turning the power off, set all volume controls to
the minimum position. Then turn off the power in the
opposite order with which you turned the power on.
* 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).
* When you turn off the power of the sequencer, the
song you recorded will be lost. Before turning the
power off, be sure to save the song you recorded.
Using the XP-10 panel button to
control sequencer start/stop
The XP-10’s [SEQ CTRL] button allows you to control
the start/stop of an external sequencer connected to
the XP-10.
Sequencers that can be controlled
from the XP-10’s panel
The XP-10 is not necessarily able to control all
sequencers. It can control sequencers that meet the
following two conditions.
1. The sequencer must operate on its own internal
clock.
2. The sequencer must respond to Start/Stop mes-
sages that it receives at its MID] IN connector.
Refer to the manual of your sequencer to check
whether it satisfies these two conditions.
If your sequencer does not meet these two conditions,
use the start/stop buttons of your sequencer to con-
trol it.
* Pressing the XP-10 [SEQ CTRL] button does not
cause it to transmit MIDI Clock messages.
Sequencer settings
Make settings on your sequencer so that the above
two conditions are met. For details refer to the manu-
al for your sequencer.
If you are using the MC-50 sequencer, set Sync Mode
to “INTERNAL” and set Remote Control to “ON.”
If you are using the MC-50mkII sequencer, set Sync
Clock to “REMOTE.”
If you are using the XP-50 sequencer, set Sync Mode
to “REMOTE.”
If you are using the JW-50 sequencer, set Syne Clock
to “REMOTE.”
