Turning the power on/off
Turning the power on
When you finish making connections, turn the power
on using the following procedure.
* Be sure that the volume controls of your amp
and/or mixer are at the minimum position. This
will prevent speakers etc. from being damaged by
the noise that occurs when the power is turned on.
1. Set the XP-10’s Computer switch.
* Change the setting of the Computer switch with the
power turned off. If the power is on when you
change the setting, the change will not be registered

If you are using MIDI cables to make connections,
select “MIDI.”
If you are using a computer cable to make connections,
the setting of the Computer switch will depend on the
type of computer and software that you are using.
If you are using an Apple Macintosh series computer,
set the switch to “Mac.” If you are using an IBM
PC/AT type computer, set the switch to “PC-2.”
The baud rate of PC-1 is 31.25K (bit/sec), and the
baud rate of PC-2 is 38.4K (bit/sec). Set the Computer
switch to the baud rate that your software requires.
Refer to the manual for your software to determine
the appropriate baud rate.
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 computer power.
4. Turn on the amp/speaker power.
5. Adjust the volume controls of each device to an
appropriate level.
When turning the power off, first lower all volume
controls to the minimum position. Then turn off the
power of each device in the reverse order that they
were turned on.
* When you turn off the XP-10 power, the settings
that you made (Performance, Tone, Drum Set) will
be lost. Before turning off the power, remember to
store the changes you made. For Performances,
refer to “Selecting an entirely different 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 computer power, the song
you recorded will be lost. Before turning off the
power, remember to save the song you recorded,
and exit the sequencing software.

software
For details on installing and using your sequencing
software, refer to the manual for your software.
Cautions when using an IBM PC/AT
type computer
Even if the XP-10 Computer connector and the com-
puter are connected, the system will not operate cor-
rectly unless the software is compatible. Be sure that
your software is compatible with the serial port of the
computer.
In addition, various settings must be made on your
computer. Refer to the manual for your software, and
make the appropriate settings before use.
XP-10 settings and recording
procedure
For details on XP-10 settings and the recording proce-
dure, read from chapter 7 “Before you record” (p.44)
to “Returning from General MIDI System / GS
Format back to synthesizer operation” (p.52). (The
section “Adding other MIDI sound sources” (p.48) is
not relevant, and can be skipped.)
* References in this manual to “sequencer” should be
read as “sequencing software” or “computer”.
