XP-30 Octave Shift?

Post by Ricktator »

Hi! I recently acquired a XP-30 and I'm fascinated with it. Something is baffling me, however.

I'm using performance layer splits to play left hand bass and another instrument on top of it. I would like to have the ability to octave up/down my right hand part while keeping the bass part where it is supposed to be. Is this doable? I remember owning a BK-7 for awhile and it had a toggle that allowed a specific part to be affected by effects/transposition etc. or not. Is there something along the same lines lurking in the XP or if this is only doable with having the bass controlled from an external KB?

Thanks!
Rick

Hi Rick
You could always have adjacent performances that are identical except for the octave of the right hand and switch between them.

All the best

Thanks Royce! It will have to be that way or I can add a second part that is transposed up an octave.

Cheers,
Rick
