Sundown performance patches
By XW-Addict
Two lazy-sunday patches that accompany a quick and sloppy song I did on my four track, I wanted to do some sound designing that reflex a certain kind of tune. Cant get it quiet right so I've recorded hasty that song just to hear the patches if it sound right. I've also added a solo-synth patch sexyvoice to delve deeper in the world of synth on G1 it sounds nice ).

CZ Waveforms
By BrettM
I've got a pretty good idea of what square, saw and sine waves look like, but I've always wondered about the CZ waveforms in the solo synth; so I recorded a brief sample of each and took a screen shot of them in Audacity. Many of them seem a lot more complex compared to the standard synth waves, so not sure how I will use them other than choosing them for their raw sound. I would be interested in other people's observations and comments. Note that they are not all shown at the same scale.

Velocity Controlled Distortion
By BrettM
I like my E.P.s with plenty of bark, so ...
Attached is a performance that routes zone 2 through the solo synth in zone 1. Also attached is a silent solo synth patch with the distortion DSP enabled and a virtual controller routing key velocity to distortion gain. Touch sense can be altered by changing the depth parameter in virtual controller 2. Knob 2 can be used to set the gain baseline, but there's no point in setting it very high.
Put the solo synth patch in zone 1 and whatever PCM tone you want to add distortion to into zone 2 and make sure the DSP line is on for that zone. Given that the solo synth is involved, the resonant filter is available to help tame that notorious XW distortion. This can change the character of the distortion a lot, even on the distorted guitars. EQ helps as well.
This is also useful for quickly auditioning the effect of distortion on various tones. On the G1, the multifunction key can be set up to toggle the DSP line on zone 2 to help make the comparison.

"Cars" Synth
By SmoovJazzy55
This lead synth is from Gary Neumans song - "Cars" It is still a bit of a work in progress. If you crank the modulation wheel all the way, the sound goes all wonky. You can take it up about 1/4 of a turn to get it a bit fuller. Let me know what you think,and I'm open to suggestions on how to improve it. Or give it a go yourself with your and repost that sound. Also on the P-1 you need to play the opening sound on the highest "A' key, as A > G > D > B > G

Step Sequencer Rock Drums
By maarkr
Thought I'd share my basic drum beats for using in your step sequencer. These cover MOST rock/pop/country songs. Load them in your User files for the SSEQ. To use in a song, either load them in your Performance under Sequencers...Step Seq, or you can just select the Step Sequencer after you have your performance loaded and scroll to the User files... be sure to set your tempo just before using because that info is not saved. Oh... K=Kick, S=Snare C=Cymbal, R=Rim.

Roaring Silence
By BrettM
My attempt at using the solo synth to create that classic sci fi effect when the camera pans down the dark corridors of a vast alien ship or when the slab orbits Jupiter - resonant filtered noise on the brink of self oscillation.
Knobs 1 and 2 turn up wailing voices a la Kubrick. (This was created on a G1 so P1 owners may need to reassign PCM oscs 1 and 2 to wave 451.)
WARNING: resonance is maxed out so keep the volume low when you first listen, especially when the wailing is turned up.

SawARPG (Solo Synth)
By Gnomo Alegre
Synth1: ReverseSaw.
Synth2: ReverseSaw.
PCM1: #MM Saw.
PCM2: #CZ Saw Reso.
NOISE: White Noise.
This tone is created for arpeggio and to use the knobs and sliders. And it is designed to create electronic beats. Enjoy it.

A Minimoog Lead Tone
By AlenK
Here's a brassy Minimoog lead tone inspired by a song called "Journey" by the brilliant Canadian progressive-rock band FM from their seminal album "Black Noise" released in 1977. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VigL6jN3vY, with the lead sound being emulated here starting about 2m21s into the song. The amount of portamento in the patch fits that song but should be adjusted for faster or slower tempos. This patch should work on both the XW-P1 and XW-G1 models.
PS. A full description of how the emulation was crafted can be found in The XW-P1 Companion: Volume 2 - Emulation Examples.

Hard Sync Lead from "Let's Go"
By AlenK
This is not the first patch for the XW synths released here that emulates the hard-sync lead from "Let's Go" by the Cars on their 1979 album "Candy O." It's just my personal take on it. The original was done on a polyphonic Prophet 5 synthesizer. However, this emulation is monophonic because on the XW synths, the solo synth is the only synthesis mode that supports hard sync. Note that this tone exhibits noticeable aliasing above about middle F. It should work on both the XW-P1 and the XW-G1 models.

Lead Tone from Main Title of Escape From New York
By AlenK
The 1981 movie Escape From New York starring Kurt Russell features a synthesizer soundtrack composed and performed by director John Carpenter and the film's sound designer Alan Howarth. This is an attempt to recreate the lead sound from the main title of that film. You can hear it at about the 35s mark in this video of the movie's opening credits: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cfxpq5V7rjA
There are three required components in the zip file: a Performance, a solo-synth tone (which provides the filtering action) and a modified (user) PCM tone. Load them where you want in your XW synth and edit the Performance to point to where you stored the two tones. This tone was created on the XW-P1 but should also work on the XW-G1. If for some reason it doesn't, then the user PCM tone may be the problem. It can be recreated on the XW-G1 by taking Saw Lead 1 (P269) and changing its attack value to +50.
PS. A full description of how the emulation was crafted can be found in The XW-P1 Companion: Volume 2 - Emulation Examples.
PPS. Apparently, the file formats for some of the components are different enough between the P1 and the G1 to make this download incompatible with the G1. However, if you follow the principles used in creating it as described in both of my documents, with enough effort it should be possible to do on a G1.

Duophonic Emulation
By AlenK
Here is a simple patch to illustrate emulation of duophonic operation using the normally monophonic Solo Synth. It is able to play two pitches at once from the keyboard using oscillators Syn1 and Syn2. If you press one key both Syn1 and Syn2 play the key's pitch, as expected. If you press two keys the first one that is detected will play Syn1 and the second one will play Syn2. If you press additional keys Syn2 will play the pitch of the last key pressed while the pitch of Syn1 will not change.
While the tones used in this example are very simple there is no reason they could not be more complex with different waveforms, envelopes, filtering, etc.
This tone was created on a XW-P1 but there is no reason it should not also work on the XW-G1.

Joes Section
By Jokeyman123
With renewed interest in my XW-P1, and after working at hex layers with the PX560-I decided to recreate-a bit old-school stylistically-a hex layer for the XW-P1 which is similar to one I have uploaded here for the PX560 already, which I divided up into zones and with slightly different instrumentation. This is a little different, the drawbars/sliders are so handy on the XW-I have programmed a trad jazz section of instruments-all layered together across the entire keyboard to be brought in and out with the drawbars. Nothing fancy as far as dynamic control from the keys-just straight through the drawbars. 1-6 are 1) flute, 2) mute trumpet, 3) alto sax, 4) acoustic piano, 5) breathy sax and 6) tremolo vibes. Sure wish I could midi the PX560 to the XW and use the XW drawbars to control levels in the PX560 hex layers-but as hard as i have studied, I do not think it is possible. There are no specific cc messages to control the hex layer dynamics in the PX560. Would be very cool if anybody AlenK maybe? Brad? Mike Martin? Would be a killer feature......maybe, somebody?? Japan-firmware update?

Simulated Sample-and-Hold
By AlenK
This is an example of a little trick to simulate a sample-and-hold effect. It uses both of the solo-synth LFOs to turn a continuously changing waveform from one of the LFOs (LFO2) into a discretely stepped version. This works on both the XW-P1 and the XW-G1. How the technique works is described here.
This example starts with a triangle (Tri) wave for LFO2. Change it to Sin, SawUp or SawDown to hear different effects. While here the stepped LFO modulates the pitch of a simple sawtooth wave it could be used to modulate anything.
