AWunder Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Hey guys, I've been using the XW-G1 as a midi controller for the past couple years and can't ever seem to map the sliders inside my DAW (FL Studio)? The pitchbend, start/stop, K1 and K2 knob buttons all work, but not the sliders... Can anyone explain why this is and if there's a way to make it happen. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Hi Wund3er and welcome to the forums! Here is a past discussion about the subject. Unfortunately, it looks like it's not possible to use sliders in the manner you are hoping for. http://www.casiomusicforums.com/index.php?/topic/5030-how-to-use-xw-g1-sliders-knobs-as-software-controllers-in-daw-virtual-instruments/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Display Name Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 ^^ Correct ^^ The sliders on the XW-G1 do not send MIDI data - they are designed mainly to control parameters of the solo synth and step sequencer. While the XW-G1 and P-1 certainly function well as basic MIDI controllers with some real-time controls, they are more meant to be performance keyboards driving their internal sounds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korakios Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Just a FS:On local-off mode G1 sliders could at least send midi sysex (on demand). Not useful for controlling other synths directly ,but very useful when using a PC ,since there are some nice sysex to midiCC apps. I am sure G1 can do this and transmitting sysex real-time is disabled for overloading reasons, but when G1 is on local-of mode with no internal sounds playing it shouldn't be a problem. EDIT/UPDATE:There is a workaround, read http://www.casiomusicforums.com/index.php?/topic/5030-how-to-use-xw-g1-sliders-knobs-as-software-controllers-in-daw-virtual-instruments/ post #7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
