Growl Saxophone Tones
By AlenK
Here are some "growl" saxophone tones. A growl-saxophone tone is the kind of tone you get out of a saxophone when you hum while blowing into the reed. The characteristic growl sound has been used often in rock, pop and jazz music; so much so, that it has become almost a cliche. Most ROMplers include such a tone based on samples of a real saxophone played that way. The XW-P1 doesn't, so such a tone must be synthesized instead. Fortunately, the DSP effects make it relatively easy to get reasonably close.
The attached zip archive contains three solo synth tones and a PCM melody tone. One of the solo synth tones is simply the ordinary tenor sax sound for comparison. Another, "TenorSaxGrwl," uses the solo-synth's ring-modulation DSP effect while the third solo-synth tone, "TenorSaxGwl2," uses the Autopan effect to create a very fast tremolo (an actual tremolo DSP effect is not available to the solo synth). The PCM melody tone uses the tremolo DSP effect.

Smooth Crossfading in a Hex Layer Tone
By AlenK
The attached zip archive contains two examples of crossfading between two waves in a Hex Layer tone. Crossfading is a much smoother way to transition between two waves with playing force than velocity switching.
In these examples the crossfading occurs between two waves that are sampled from the same instrument and which are used for the velocity-switched "60's E.Piano" PCM melody tone (P2-0 in the PCM Piano category). One sample was presumably recorded from a low-velocity strike; the other from a high-velocity strike. A key feature of the crossfading is that the full dynamic range of the instrument is maintained over the velocity range.
One example—3-SEG_XF.ZLT—uses all six layers while the other—2-SEG_XF.ZLT—uses only four layers, leaving the final two layers available for introducing other waves. Two additional files are included in the zip archive: TESTVELO.ZSS and TESTVELO.ZPF. These can be useful to test for the smoothness of the transitions between each segment in the final tone. The first file is a sequence that repeats the same note at increasingly higher velocities over the total velocity range. The second file is a Performance that calls up the sequence and the tone. The Performance is required only because the single active track of the sequence needs to point to Part 1 not Part 14. That assignment can only be done from within a Performance. Load the Performance, the sequence and the tone wherever you want in your XW-P1 then edit the Performance to tell it where you put the sequence and the tone.
A full description of how the crossfading is accomplished can be found here.

Won't Get Fooled This Time
By BrettM
Here is my second attempt at the "Won't Get Fooled Again" organ. It follows on from an XW-P1 discussion called "Arpeggios !" and this time I do use the arpeggiator, with only two steps, to give the basic pulse rhythm. It's based on my previous "Fooled Again" upload, so there is a solo-synth tone to create the slow filter sweep, a performance so chords can be played and now an arpeggiation as well. The arpeggiator has taken over the job of LFO2, so the low frequency clunking that was evident in the previous version as the two LFOs fought over the filter is now gone. You can tweak the total filter parameters in the solo synth to alter the sweep and change the tempo to alter the speed of the pulse. As before, this was done on a G1, so make sure a full drawbar is assigned to zone 2 of the performance to make it work on a P1.
I've just updated the performance to bring the tempo closer to the actual song. Assignable knob 1 and 2 are now set to control the total filter cutoff and resonance respectively.

Pseudo-Envelope Controlled Filter Sweep of Hex Layer Tone
By AlenK
Here's an example of a filter sweep for a Hex Layer polyphonic tone. This is accomplished using a "pseudo-envelope" created using the step sequencer, which is used within a Performance to modulate the center frequency of the bandpass filter in the Wah DSP effect within a custom Hex Layer tone. The tone is based on the preset tone "Analogued" (P2-8) but modified with a different attack and to turn off the LFO in the Wah effect. A so-called "Null" arpeggio is used only in zone 2 (which consequently becomes silent) in order to trigger the pseudo-envelope on every keypress to emulate a real filter envelope. You can read more about the technique here.
There are four components in the zip file: a Performance, a custom Hex Layer tone, a step sequence and an arpeggio. Load them where you want to in your XW synth. Now edit the Performance to point to all of the other components.
NOTE: The control of the step sequencer necessary to create the pseudo-envelope requires that "S.Seq NRPN" be "On" in the MIDI settings menu; see page E-70 in the User's Guide. This is a global setting that is not saved in each Performance, hence you must enable this as a separate step.

What??
By AlenK
Here’s an interesting sound I discovered by accident. I named it after the reaction I had when I first heard it.
The basis for this Hex Layer tone is a mix of two waveforms: Sy_MM Ramp (658) and Sy_MM Saw (659). They are perfectly complementary; the same waveforms with opposite phases. If they are mixed together with the same amplitudes and at the same pitch they exactly cancel and you hear silence.
If, on the other hand, the pitch of one is offset a little bit, as they are here they will cancel only at the start of the note and then drift out of phase as the note progresses. The result is a thin pulse tone that changes to a square wave, the rate of change depending on the pitch offset as well as on the pitch of the note you play. If the note is held long enough the waveform will change back to a pulse and cancel out briefly again cyclically. It’s essentially a controlled form of pulse-width modulation.
Another tone that layers this one with additional elements to achieve something a lot more powerful can be found here.

Saw Lead, Saw Lead II, Tyrian, VA Thing
By Peter
Tones from a beginner
All tones except VA Thing are made by layering the same wave and playing with detune and fine tune.
"Tyrian" is an attempt to emulate the sound from Alexander Brandon's music from the good old space shooter, Tyrian 2000. Set the cutoff to -40 for a more subtle tone.
VA Thing is a bit unfinished, since it uses only 3 layers, the others are muted or turned off.
Any constructive suggestions on how to improve these sounds are more than welcome.
Have a nice day !

Lead Electric Guitar (Solo Synth)
By AlenK
My attempt at some lead guitar sounds using the solo synth. All three use the modulation wheel for something other than vibrato.
(1) Lead Guitar.ZSY is based on an overdrive guitar PCM wave (0312) with some mild distortion added. It uses the mod wheel to increase release time.
(2) LeadGuitrHrm.ZSY uses the same base sound but the mod wheel crossfades it with a detuned guitar harmonic PCM (0328). Rolling the wheel up after a sustained note introduces what hopefully sounds like feedback.
(3) LdGtrAutoHrm,ZSY uses the same PCMs as (2) but adds an envelope to the harmonic sound that automatically fades it in if a note is held for a few seconds. The mod wheel determines how much of the harmonic sound is heard.
