This is driving me nuts.... all I am trying to do is play to two patchs on an XP30 using cubase at the same time.... ie- C130 and A195.... I've set the MSB, LSB, and program number in cubase under LIST (Ctrl+G).... and I can't get the two to work together..... it may play one patch or even another patch that I haven't even entered under LIST. I've heard that I have to put the XP30 in Performance mode but that does nothing.... so do I have to assign each patch to a seperate midi channel?? I can't find out how to do this on the XP30 and its driving me nuts.... any help would be great. thanks

Hey!
to play patches on diffrent channels make sure XP30 is in PERFORMANCE MODE then You can
assing diffrent voices to each channel from 1 to 16.
good luck

Ok.....but do I still need to assign each patch to a seperate midi channel when using a squencer, in this case cubase. To put the XP30 into performance mode do I push the performance button and then patch at the same time?? If I do have to assign each patch to a seperate midi channel how do I go about doing this? Thanks for the advice.

once U in performance mode select PART 1to8 or 9to16 and then press PERFORM and PATCH at the same time to asing PATCH(voice) to that PART.Press PERFORM once again to go to diffrent PART.i dont know if is that what You need to know but that's best i can do to help.
good luck
