AlenK Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Not sure what you are asking. Are you asking how to assign different sounds (voices) to the sequencer tracks? Each of the tracks of the step sequencer operates one "mixer channel" (which is what I like to call them to avoid confusion with MIDI channels - the manual often but not consistently calls them "parts" and sometimes uses "parts" to mean sequencer tracks). There are 16 in the instrument and the step sequencer plays the last nine (#8 to #16). See page E-50 in the XW-P1 manual (E-51 in the G1 manual). You change the tone for each "mixer channel" (part) in the Mixer edit menus: Press the MIXER button and go from there (see page E-67 for P1, E-78 for G1). This is how you determine what sound each of your step-sequencer tracks will play.The Solo 1 track is a special case. Normally it would play "mixer channel" (part) #14. But you can choose instead to play "mixer channel" (part) #1. You do that in the Performance editor (see page E-65 for P1, E-74 for G1). You might know "mixer channel" (part) #1 better by its other name: Zone 1. The sound it plays can be either a PCM tone, a solo-synth tone, a drawbar organ tone or a Hex Layer tone. Zone 1 is the only zone that has this flexibility, which is why Casio gives you this option for the Solo 1 track. All the other zones and "mixer channels" (parts) can only play PCM tones. Note that if you select a drum set as the "tone" for a given track (which is the case by default for Drum 1 through 5) each key will play a different percussion instrument and hence the sounds you will hear on that track will also depend on what notes are played. You don't generally hear that on the Drum tracks because by default each of them plays a given type of percussion instrument (e.g., tom, snare, high-hat) and so plays only a very limited selection of notes in the scale that correspond to those instruments in a drum kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deskins Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I don't know if this in on topic or not, but I've searched the forums and haven't had any luck. I understand the basic way to change voices in Step Sequencer mode using the mixer. I'm having a weird glitch, however, when I try to change the voice on the chord part. For some reason, I make the change and it actually changes the voice of the last part that I edited. For example, if I enter a bass drum part in Drum 1 and then go to the Chord part, then change the voice to piano, it will change my Drum 1 part to a piano voice -- but NOT my Chord part. I've been playing with it for a couple of hours now and I'm not sure what's going on with it. Any help would be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
