Spike99

Jibin: Hi , I'm Spike99 from northern Wisconsin. Here's my solution.... I have a XW-P1g that I added guitar strap buttons to. I backed up the inside of the plastic with small pieces of hardwood .( I used ash wood from a drumstick that I cut to a small cubed size with a hack saw.) I opened the Keyboard and glued them in place where the screws would be put with 5min. epoxy. I then drilled pilot holes before screwing in the buttons, one on each side of the keyboard. I set them back about 2" back from the tapered front (that faces you as you play) .I used gold colored strap buttons because I have the 'Gold synth. It takes 6D cells that are admittedly kind of bulky/ heavy. I then bought a good wireless instrument system to plug into the quarter inch left/mono output., ( I like 'Sennheiser) ... I had to make a strap out of 2 guitar straps because they didn't have one at any music store I went to that was long enough. This synth has great presence/ flexibility / & frees you up to walk or move around. (great for open mic's/ jam's etc.) It looks much heavier than it actually is. (about 13lb) It's like a keytar but much more powerful. & wide in its range of sound / deep editing. I use it for 'Bass, Piano, Organ, 'killer Saxophone, & odd ball sounds like vibes/ harmonium, banjo, & guitar..When I jam, if I like the song we just played I add 'crowd applause from the 'PCM varoius button (key=E5) It always gets a big laugh from the jammer's/ crowd! This was a great alternative for me to use rather than a separate tone source / keytar / Midi cable that always includes some delay,.... Best Wishes, Spike' 1/19/17

Mike: its been almost a year, any updates to this file yet? I want to install it but if you come out withan update next week and I have to install it again I would be very cross. :/ I have a XW-P1 that has the sounds layed out in order like that and it's much easier to access what you are looking for as opposed to the G1 groove! Oh yea, the XW-P1 came with the 'Tutorial and cost half as much as a PX-5s! I think not including the 'tutorial with the PX-5s is a stingy oversite. At best it looks like you guys hired Mr. Haney' from Green Acres to sell this piano & string you on for the list of sounds in it and how you program the frickin' thing! I'm still scratching my head trying to understand why they layed out the tones in such a random order and then expect you (Mike Martin) to have to 'goose it up for them! ... Best Wishes, Spike 99 ...
