ROLAND XPS 30 Red Keyboard Synthesiser

KILLER TONES:

The XPS-30 is packed with over 1656 pro-quality sounds, many of which are derived from the immensely popular JUNO-Di. There’s a vast selection of ready-to-play sounds for covering all music styles, with acoustic and electric pianos, organs, strings, brass, synths, and other essential instruments at your disposal. Also on hand are legacy sounds from past Roland classics, including legendary products such as the D-50, XP-60/-30/-10, SRX Expansion Boards, and more. Also, many sought-after ethnic instruments and authentic local sounds from around the world make the XPS-30 ideal for playing music styles specific to your region.

SAMPLE IMPORT FUNCTION:

Using the Sample Import function, a WAV audio file stored on USB memory can easily be mapped to the keyboard, with all the appropriate pitches assigned automatically. Multiple audio files can be imported and stored in the XPS-30 (up to a total of 64 MB), where you can use them in Patch or Performance modes just like the built-in tones. This offers a great way to personalize the keyboard with favorite sounds and unique local instruments.

AUDIO PADS:

The XPS-30 panel features Eight Audio Pads for playing WAV, AIFF, and MP3 audio files while performing. Just load up a USB memory stick with your favorite backing tracks, loops, and sound effects, and then trigger them from the Eight pads. Loop points can be set for WAV and AIFF files, allowing them to be played continuously with a press of the Loop button.

EASY TO CARRY:

Weighing just 5.3 kg, it’s ideal for nightclub performers, touring players, and worship musicians, and also great for street gigs.

XPS-30 Expandable Synthesizer

POWER PERFORMER

The XPS-30 starts with the great feature set of the popular XPS-10 and adds many powerful enhancements that performing players will love. Stage essentials like acoustic and electric piano sound even better, and the internal waveform set can be easily expanded with free sound collections from Roland’s Axial website. The selection of regional instrument sounds has been increased as well, and more user samples can be imported (including multi-sample import) thanks to the doubled onboard memory capacity. There’s also a built-in eight-track pattern sequencer for capturing songs and ideas, plus a convenient mic input with dedicated vocal effects.

Eight-Track Pattern Sequencer

When you have an idea for a song or beat, you can easily capture and develop it with the onboard pattern sequencer. The intuitive, non-stop operation won’t interrupt your creative flow, letting you build up full arrangements with multiple sounds in no time. The sequencer is also perfect for enhancing live performances with pre-made backing and on-the-fly looping.

Music Production Partner

The XPS-30 is not only great on stage—it works great for computer music production as well. The integrated USB interface provides a solid front end for a mobile or studio recording setup, allowing you to record MIDI and audio data, including sounds from the mic input. There’s even a dedicated DAW Control mode for controlling your music software from the XPS-30’s front panel.

Get even more creative with Wave Expansion and multi-sample import To complement its impressive onboard sound set, the XPS-30 supports internal waveform expansion via USB for unlimited tonal range. Over 1000 EXP sounds are available for free download at Roland’s Axial website, including top-quality acoustic piano collections, world instruments, go-to studio standards, percussion, loops, and more. If don’t find what you need there, it’s even possible to load in WAV sounds from your personal library and play them from the keyboard. Version 2.00 software supports multi-sample import for rich and expressive sounds, along with the creation of custom drums and percussion kits. Out of the box, the XPS-30 comes with the versatile EXP-06 Studio Collection preloaded in the wave expansion slot. Phrase Pads for Triggering Songs and Samples The XPS-30 is equipped with eight Phrase Pads (two more than the XPS-10), allowing you to supplement your keyboard performances with samples or music files stored on USB memory. Just load up the pads with whatever.		High-Quality Pianos and Regional Sounds Gigging keyboardists rely on acoustic and electric pianos more than any other sounds, and these essentials have been newly enhanced in the XPS-30 for improved tone and response. In addition, the regional instrument selection has been expanded, providing even more versatility for local playing. The complete sound sets from the XPS-10 and JUNO-Di are also included, and patches from those keyboards are fully compatible with the XPS-30. Deep Editing and Real-Time Controls With its intuitive, instant-access design, the XPS-30 makes it simple to call up excellent sounds on the spot. But if you like to customize things, you can dive deeper and tweak patches and performances with detailed precision. The front panel also includes numerous hands-on knobs and sliders for creating patches and adjusting sounds while performing, while the rear panel features jacks for connecting hold and expression pedals for further real-time control.
