This must be the xp info line..
I have the Xp50, and I need to know if there are loops of styles that can be loaded to the xp50 as Midi Files.
Any Expert out there, would you please advise..Thanks a bunch..

George.

George,
I'm no XP50 expert but I do have one and don't play it much anymore - sad to say.

To the best of my knowledge, the answer to your question is no - sort of, but not directly.

The XP50 DOES support looping, using RPS, but not in the style sense. You can load midi files that assign (RPS) phrases to specific keys. These can be patterns, fills variations and so on, but I'm not sure about intros/endings. You are basically playing a series of midi loops, patterns triggered by specific keys. The only way to stop the ones I've tinkered with is to stop MIDI.

I don't know of any specific [internet] resource for this RPS stuff - other than the roland demos. Some of the files sections in the JV/XP ring had some custom made at one time. Trouble is the XP80, 60 and 30 followed to quickly after. You may find some on sites that have the XP series - as RPS is common to all XP synths.

Hope this was somewhat useful..
regards,
Steve

Thank you Steve, I was impressed with your answer.
I thougth so too but I was'nt sure..

Try the Keyfax site and see if that's what you're looking for. There's another company that has lots of style loops like that, but I need to jog my memory and figure out who they are. I'll get back later.
