rsaintjohn Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I dove back into the XW-P1 big-time over the past month, and this is the first completed result: I got my XW-P1 in January, the first serious new synth I've bought in years. I'm not ashamed to admit that I was stumped and overwhelmed. But a few weeks ago I dug back in and swore to myself that I would figure it out. The manual made more sense this time, and Mike's great blog and video clinics helped a lot (as did the questions asked and answered here!). This week I finally made the "breakthrough" and all the things that had confused me before - zones, parts, the sequencer, the sliders, the mixer - finally clicked. I'm not sure why I chose this particular piece, but the build of all the individual parts and the grandness of it all seemed really well-suited to the sounds capabilities of the P1. Above all I wanted to try to do it all on the P1, and I did! It took a lot of days and hours (and mistakes, and lost work!), but I finally feel completely comfortable navigating the whole interface. I love this synth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsaintjohn Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 I'm definitely "sold". I can't recall... do you have both the G1 and the P1? I'm trying to stay laser-focused on saving up for a new synth that costs over $2000, but I'm feeling really drawn to the G1 right now for more hands-on solo synth design. The iPad app goes a long way, but I keep picturing how nice it would be to have both the P1 and the G1 on a single stand in front of me. I just can't decide if the overlap is too much, and the workarounds on the P1 are enough to keep me happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
