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.

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.

Bretharp
By BrettM
Here is my submission to the harmonica challenge. Solo synth tone created on G1. The PCM wave number may need to be changed to 0152 to get it to work on a P1.
Version 2.0, updated following my suggestions in http://www.casiomusicforums.com/index.php?/topic/5550-harmonica-challenge/

Hoover
By badmind36
My spin on the classic "dominator" hoover sound, made famous back in the day with the Roland Alpha Juno. Uses both Solo Synth and PCM layers. LP Filter envelope in place to let the attack of the sound remain when cutoff. DSP Delay tempo synced 1/1.
This may also work on the XW-G1, but I do not have one to test, if somebody with a G1 does download this and can confirm it works that would be great! Enjoy!

Synth Bass from "Fade to Grey" by Visage
By AlenK
Fans of 80's New Wave music will certainly know about the song "Fade to Grey," which was released in 1980 by Visage. That group inspired the "New Romantics" movement that later spawned Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet. Several members of Visage went on to greater fame as members of Ultravox. This bass tone was originally done on a Polymoog with studio effects added later in production. The original tone can be heard in the following video (which is the original video for the song) starting from about 9s in:

PS. A full description of how the emulation was crafted is provided in The XW-P1 Companion: Volume 2 - Emulation Examples.

Moody Grand
By amaverick
A moody sounding hex tone piano sound.
Set your octave to 0 to get the intended moodiness. (it still sounds nice on the higher octaves)
sliders 1 and 2 are same pianos. I panned then left and right for stereo effect. Did the same on sliders 3 and 4...just with different pianos.
5 and 6 are pads type sounds. Turn them all the way down to get straight pianos. I added them for a little sustain for this tone.
