Roland just uploaded these video where you can program music now kids (actually every one)can make music while learning programming ante up the fun combining two things, How cool is that. I've always found it to be a small behind the curtains thing in the past and the past few years , I've seen Casio, Korg ,Moog , Yamaha and Roland really building up music education programs which is really opening up to new media and growing possibilities that opens up gear in more then one way.

Hi, I am new in the comunity, and i hope to stay for a while .... I really like the PX560, im looking for a good piano and for a one man solo band piano... i like the arrangers.... but there is not arangers with 88 keys (i mean in that price range... less than 1200)... anyway, is the internal sequencer of the px560 powerful enough?.... well i really like to play main instruments along with some acompaiment styles and have some control of changing the sounds while i play.. I am planning to use some midis (smf files) and create some arrangements.... the PX560 has a midi player? Im wondering if some of the demos that Bradz made with the MZX500 and Px-5s are possible in the PX560M.... i love all that electro, orchestra and synth sounds. Finally i wonder if there is a demo or maybe you can help me with a distorted guitar demo, with some leads and riffs... i just want to play some rocking leads!! Sorry for having all those questions Thank You.

Hi, Is it possible to MIDI map tracks (multi-sequence) on my PX350 using DP8? I have a MOTU Micro Lite and am using the Windows platform. There is scant to no documentation on this subject that I know of. Looking at the keyboard, it appears this is not available with any function buttons or nested anywhere therein that I can see. Will I have to go back to my Yamaha S08 to sequence songs outside of the DP8 box? Thanks.

I'm lazy with recording stuff and am not so good with the sequencer on the XW-G1. Its not that difficult to sequence on the G1 but some stuff don't go that easily get to work with. To be honest making a beat on the G1 is easy with a bass loop and such the other stuff isn't because recording is different on the G1 when you do chords. I use my Boss micro Br for recording my music the Boss and G1 are hooked on an MG02C mixer it does the job but not as sweet and likable like the performance patches on the G1. I'm recently taking courses playing the key's better I'm not a good pianist keep tempo and such a good ear hears the mistakes in my recordings. You can hear it with "Get ready" I went nuts on that using the dsp on each drum part and recorded the organs over it for the complete sample loop. Then I recorded in one take the whole sequence, once you hear what the G1 does your on a role. The second track I did three snares to accompany a kind of vibe groove thing.I love to create music that is so different that you listen to it over and over and over again. I have that with the G1 seriously I love all my synths, Have an Korg mw1 also sequencing on it is a breeze I use some software synth to but when I record something I only use "1" synth and all of its capability's alone. I do not use Cubase or Ableton as of yet. What I want is to learn how to sequence better I've watched the vids about the step sequencer they are O.k but not to sound like a nag I need to do it better meaning. When I record a drumbeat can it with different dsp effects , When I change an instrument like the bass will all the edited parameters be in the sequence. Does the equalizing apply to all parts of instrument sequencing. TWO SONGS. I've added two of my recording which I made today 22-9-2013, its all G1 again sampled a drumloop on the looper (love it)using performance patches and recorded all the other in one live take on the Boss micro br. You can find them on the share your music section. The first song called "Natures Colors" I wanted to visualize a flower that opens up in the morning the sky turn from night to day and back again the wind that blows the sea that waves everything nature. Used for that song a few perfomance mode patches like Pop Lead, Groovekit ,Space ,Summer chill. tweaked it with the magic of the four assignable knobs love those. Everything comes from that except the drums patterns I used the looper for that.. The next song called "Stepping shoe's" same drumpattern on looper as with "Nature Colors" added VA synth for bass line, performance patch Reggae Mix and CityBrass my own creation which you can find on the forum ,Again tweaked with the knobs. I've used the DSP a bit to much as well on the mixer side as the on the instrument patches.

I'm far from mastering my XW-G1, and I'm not a keyboard musician. Just cooked something here and wanted to share with you. All done in step sequencing, with addition of a few notes added during "performance/recording" into two channels of Reaper, with TASCAM US-1641 interface: Hephaestus's little tricks Warning! Very dark
