CYBERYOGI =CO=Windler Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I yet own no XW-PD1, but I am interested because it takes way less space than an XW-G1 and has strongly dropped in price. But I read that PD1 is mainly a preset instrument, so I have some questions. - Can "solo synth" patches not be edited at all, or is this possible through PC software? (My CZ-230S is also preset based but can edit patches through midi.) - Can it load custom "solo synth" sounds made e.g. on XW-G1 or XW-P1? - Can it play the internal sounds through a keyboard when connected through USB-midi? - Do the drumpads really lack velocity? This is very uncommon with modern non-toy drum machines. - Does it contain internal wifi or bluetooth? To me this would be a definite exclusion criterium not to buy it, because these technologies emit brain destroying microwave radiation and I strictly boycott anything equipped with it.

CYBERYOGI =CO=Windler Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 Thanks for info. Its sad that no externally made solo synth patches can be loaded. But most FM home keyboards were preset too. By the way, the XW-PD1 somehow blantantly resembles my "Coleco Zodiac" astrological computer from 1979. Maybe a good hacker should now interconnect both to unleash some unheard noise that shakes the cosmos vigorously. (Remember what was done with a Casio MT-210 in the "Masters of the Universe" movie. ;-) )Coleco - Zodiac - Astrological Computer 1979 - YouTubeColeco Zodiac - Handheld Games Museum 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
