A Minimoog Lead Tone
By AlenK
Here's a brassy Minimoog lead tone inspired by a song called "Journey" by the brilliant Canadian progressive-rock band FM from their seminal album "Black Noise" released in 1977. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VigL6jN3vY, with the lead sound being emulated here starting about 2m21s into the song. The amount of portamento in the patch fits that song but should be adjusted for faster or slower tempos. This patch should work on both the XW-P1 and XW-G1 models.
PS. A full description of how the emulation was crafted can be found in The XW-P1 Companion: Volume 2 - Emulation Examples.

Hard Sync Lead from "Let's Go"
By AlenK
This is not the first patch for the XW synths released here that emulates the hard-sync lead from "Let's Go" by the Cars on their 1979 album "Candy O." It's just my personal take on it. The original was done on a polyphonic Prophet 5 synthesizer. However, this emulation is monophonic because on the XW synths, the solo synth is the only synthesis mode that supports hard sync. Note that this tone exhibits noticeable aliasing above about middle F. It should work on both the XW-P1 and the XW-G1 models.
PS. A full description of how the emulation was crafted can be found in The XW-P1 Companion: Volume 2 - Emulation Examples.

Lead Tone from Main Title of Escape From New York
By AlenK
The 1981 movie Escape From New York starring Kurt Russell features a synthesizer soundtrack composed and performed by director John Carpenter and the film's sound designer Alan Howarth. This is an attempt to recreate the lead sound from the main title of that film. You can hear it at about the 35s mark in this video of the movie's opening credits: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cfxpq5V7rjA
There are three required components in the zip file: a Performance, a solo-synth tone (which provides the filtering action) and a modified (user) PCM tone. Load them where you want in your XW synth and edit the Performance to point to where you stored the two tones. This tone was created on the XW-P1 but should also work on the XW-G1. If for some reason it doesn't, then the user PCM tone may be the problem. It can be recreated on the XW-G1 by taking Saw Lead 1 (P269) and changing its attack value to +50.

PPS. Apparently, the file formats for some of the components are different enough between the P1 and the G1 to make this download incompatible with the G1. However, if you follow the principles used in creating it as described in both of my documents, with enough effort it should be possible to do on a G1.

Joes Section
By Jokeyman123
With renewed interest in my XW-P1, and after working at hex layers with the PX560-I decided to recreate-a bit old-school stylistically-a hex layer for the XW-P1 which is similar to one I have uploaded here for the PX560 already, which I divided up into zones and with slightly different instrumentation. This is a little different, the drawbars/sliders are so handy on the XW-I have programmed a trad jazz section of instruments-all layered together across the entire keyboard to be brought in and out with the drawbars. Nothing fancy as far as dynamic control from the keys-just straight through the drawbars. 1-6 are 1) flute, 2) mute trumpet, 3) alto sax, 4) acoustic piano, 5) breathy sax and 6) tremolo vibes. Sure wish I could midi the PX560 to the XW and use the XW drawbars to control levels in the PX560 hex layers-but as hard as i have studied, I do not think it is possible. There are no specific cc messages to control the hex layer dynamics in the PX560. Would be very cool if anybody AlenK maybe? Brad? Mike Martin? Would be a killer feature......maybe, somebody?? Japan-firmware update?
