Thank you Brad. I do have that whistler set as my tone currently. Any suggestions on tweaking a bit to get more of a portamento or natural sound?

Hello Casio Forums, I have been playing my XW-G1 live with a cover band for the last three years. I play half our sets on the synth and half on guitar. Does anyone use a personal mixer to tweak sound live? What set up do you use live to get a great stereo BEST QUALITY Sound? I have noticed live that I am constantly battling different performances on volume, depending on tones, i.e. brass, bass, piano, analog sounds. Is there a way I can "set it and forget it?" My brass sounds all sound full of treble with little mid range or bass. I bought my board used off ebay. Sometimes I think there may be an issue with oscillators or something internally that is giving me a different quality than what I hear on Youtube from you professionals. I am very picky about sound and want to sound the best possible. Willing to spend some money to do so and would like to keep using my XW-G1 live. Thanks for advice! Geoff the PowerTrader

Is it possible to create a tone using different oscillators and saving it so it may be used on more than one note at a time? As in a chord or in multiple zones or both? I am the world's slowest learner and admit that I do not understand much about programming tones and getting the most of them. Appreciate help. Geoff the PowerTrader

Hey xw users. I play xw-g1 live for a cover band and am always struggling to duplicate tones and sounds from tunes we play. Anyone know how I can tweak a whistle sound as in Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger"? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am a total numbskull when it comes to programming sounds. Cheers!

Any suggestions on how to create and trigger the bomb sound from the great Gap Band song "You Dropped a Bomb on Me"? Also, would LOVE to hear how to create the rising sound on Bruno Mars' Uptown Funk. I created a tone for that and at the moment do not even remember how I did that. It isn't even close to the recording sound though. Many thanks to any support! Geoff the PowerTrader

I would really like to hear some input on how to get the best live sound out of my XW-G1. I have used a behringer kdx amp with 15 inch and horn, a monitor and also go through P.A. However, I am not at all an expert on sound engineering and am very sensitive to tone and all. I would really like to hear some other live performers setups for self monitoring and for getting the best sound out to front of house. Thanks in advance Geoff the PowerTrader

Can anyone help this rookie XW-G1 programmer with coming up with a sound much like Prince used for songs like "Kiss" and Bruno Mars' "Uptown Funk", "That's what I like" and "24K"? I cannot come close. My polysynth stuff sounds very trebly and am radio'ish. Would truly appreciate help. Thanks! Geoff the PowerTrader

Hello Brett, I will mess around with these ideas. The band I am in is covering the Weeknd "I Can't Feel My Face", I would like to create as much of the swell sound that I can. Appreciate the information from you. Geoff

I would like to edit a melody tone. Unless I can edit a solo synth and then spread the effect across another zone or 2.

So, how do i edit amp envelope in tone mode?
-
Thanks Brad, I will try. Seems like I don't remember seeing amp envelope as an editable item. I will take a look. Thanks again! Geoff

Can anyone tell me how to create volume swells and assign either to a controller or the mod wheel? Appreciate any help! Geoff Actually, what I am thinking is adding volume swell to tone so that I do not have to use a controller. Like with Pads, but would like to have stronger swells. Thanks again, Geoff

Can anyone tell me how to add volume and cutoff envelope to user tones? Not just solo synth tones. THe GM sweep tone is partial, but I cannot seem to modify? Thanks for help! Powertrader

Thank you for all the information Scott! Appreciate it.

Thanks for the info. Do you know how to use the mic in to vocode? Or, to create a tone or sample to manipulate with the keys? Again, Thank you.
