MAXWP1Guy Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Hello everyone,I just received the XW-P1 that I purchased for myself for Christmas and it arrived today. Everything looks good so far except that I notice that the Modulation wheel doesn't seem to be spring loaded and self-centering as the "Bender" wheel is.Is this normal? Is the Modulation Wheel supposed to self-center? I really appreciate everyone's answer on this the manual has no information about whether it's supposed to self-center or not.Thanks very much!

Null Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 The pitch bend is spring mounted and centred because it can be used as a positive or a negative pitch bend. There's no such thing as "negative modulation" so it's simply not necessary. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAXWP1Guy Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Thank you very much. I'm not new to playing music (although it's been a long time) on a keyboard/piano, but I am new to synthesizers with all the electronics the XW-P1 has, so I was a little worried I was missing something (or my keyboard was). Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again! Be patient with your XW-P1. Your CASIO XW-P1 has many things to teach you. It's the best friend of man and woman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAXWP1Guy Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 I'm sure it does, it's a got a lot under the skin. I have another question for later on using the Solo Synth mode but I want to make sure this time that it's not something obvious (like the Modulation wheel) that is just the way it is supposed to be. There's a lot here, I'm learning . One of the things I'm learning is that one could spend a long time having fun with this keyboard not doing anything in particular, just kind of grooving out with it. Which is good, it'll keep me out of the pool halls and the gin joints . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
