This is by no means complete but I figured I would post it since I probably won't finish it any time soon. It's for playing the signature arp pattern and piano on the song of the same name.
2 arpeggiators are synced in this setup. The arp is in the upper octaves and piano is lower.
Pressing and holding F6 will start the first arp pattern and sync the second one to the first. While continuing to hold F6, play D7 and E7 and so on (you'll have to learn the pattern) to sound the second arp and complete the pattern. The second arp is synced to the first so that it can fire it's notes in the offbeat of the first arp. This somewhat simulates the marimba repeat feature on the original Lowery organ. Unfortunately, the original organ seems to have many alternating zones. The PX5 doesn't have enough arps and zones to fully emulate the original organ so I rearranged the first arp pattern to make up for some of it.
This stage setting would need to be accompanied by more stage settings containing other variations of the arp pattern. It get's a bit complicated so I have come to a standstill on this.

This is my take on the distorted organ/synthy sound heard in the song Gold on the Ceiling by The Black Keys.
Try all versions. Let me know what you think in the comments. Version 2 is my pick for the song.
I added portamento for version 3 since the sound is kinda synthy and reminds me of the XW solo synth.

A stage setting I was working on. The sound is inspired by the opening of the 1987 song Carrie by Europe.

A stage setting I made for playing the intro of the song I just Died in your Arms Tonight by Cutting Crew.

My attempt at the sounds for playing the intro to the 1987 recording of Here I Go Again by Whitesnake. Mike Martin tackled this song early on by request. I decided to start from scratch with my own interpretation of the sound. Piano is in the lowest octave.
Demo of the sound here.

Stage Setting with String Section and Trombone across the entire range and Concert Timpani/Snare/Strings in the lower range

This is a stage setting with oboe in the mix. The strings have a wider sound stage while the oboe is centered in the mix. Pedal 2 adds expression.

A stage setting with mildly prominent trombone mixed with strings. This stage setting has a very realistic wide sound stage with the trombone center of the mix. Pedal 2 adds expression.

Here's some of my synth tones I've created. I collected them and categorized them. This is a set of 10 saw based tones. These were all inspired by one thing or another. The cryptic abbreviations of the tones hint at what I was going for although now I don't even remember some of them.

This is a sound effect tone for adding key release or hammer release noise to a piano tone. I've been using this in my own piano tone. This is a hex tone that you can put on Zone 2 while your piano is on zone 1.

Here it is. Samples of the little sampler from the 80's. These are the drum kit sounds from the SK-1.
There are 8 samples from the SK-1 here so I split them among 2 tones since the G1 only allows 5 samples per tone.
The drum samples in the 2 wave tones are automatically lined up along the lowest 8 naturals when you layer them in 2 zones.

This is an improved Harpsichord tone for the Casio MZ-2000. This one adds pluck sounds and some extra body to the overall tone.

A day of random synth programming lead to the sound heard on Zone 1 of this. I then layered it with the Ice Castles Hex layer.

Audio Demo of this is here: https://soundcloud.com/bradmz/american-bluegrass
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
American Bluegrass is a stage setting for playing a Bluegrass music rhythm. It contains a custom hexlayer tone on zone 2. Zone 2 covers Acoustic Bass, Guitar, Banjo and Mandolin. I created a phrase that plays all of the instruments in zone 2's hexlayer. Download the Phrase "Flat&Scruggs" and place it in user slot 141. Start the rhythm by pressing the A2 key. There is a range around A2 that will transpose the key of the recorded phrase. The range is small since the sound becomes unnatural outside of that range. Keep in mind that the PX-5S is not an Auto Accompaniment Keyboard. Auto-Accomp uses chord shifting and detection techniques that the PX-5S was never intended to need or use.
Download Scruggs2 Phrase in place of the Flatt&Scruggs Phrase to eliminate the major 3rd notes.
Sliders 1-4 turn on/off the different instruments in the rhythm.
Slider 6 adjust the overall volume of the rhythm.
Slider 5 turns on/off zone 1 for no good reason.

This is a stage setting that can be used to play a portion of the song Bizzare Love Triangle by New Order. Load up all the files and hit any key in the low end to start the beat. You may want to set the arpeggiator to hold. The sound here was done with 2 phrases running under the arpeggiator. They are playing a custom drum set on Z1 and a custom hexlayer on Z2. Zone 3 is a bell type sound for playing a melody in the middle section if you wish. Zone 4 is the signature synth arpeggio for fill ins and is in the upper most range of the keyboard.
Slider 1 - Bass on/off
Slider 2 - synth arpeggio on/off
Slider 3 - mute guitar arpeggio on/off
NEWORDER is the stage setting
BIZARRED is the drum phrase - place it into slot 137
BIZZAREP is the hex layer phrase - place it into slot 138

Another example of the power of the G1 sampler. This is a real acoustic Toy Piano sampled, completely mapped and ready to play on the XW-G1.

Thanks to the PX-5's powerful hex layer synth I was able to get a decent approximation of the sound of a toy piano by using 12 layers of other wave sounds.

Check your stage setting filter. Master compressor is ON by factory default. My compressor tweaks in this ss will not load if the master compressor is ON in stage setting filters)

A concert grand piano with huge warm reverb.
What was tweaked to make this:
Reverb parameters: time, tone, high damp, return
Master EQ: All parts
Master Compressor: All parts
Early Reflection DSP added to piano and tweaked
Thumb piano pitch key follow and amp velocity sense
Air Concrt Grand cutoff and amp velocity sense
And other minor tweaks

The 3 drum sounds heard in the Casio VL-1.
White noise burst
High blip
Low blip

2 sets of popular classic drum sound waves for the XW-G1. Kick, snare, closed hat, open hat, clap in each one

Here is all of the original user wave data factory installed on the XW-G1. This is here for anyone who lost the original data.

This is one of my first attempts at a multi-sampled piano using the G1 sampling abilities. I'm not satisfied with my loop creation yet so this will be updated at some point in the future.

A percussive synth sound. It has lots of creative potential. Try using it with the arpeggio. This sound was originally inspired by the Michael Jackson "Beat It" intro but then sort of went it's own different way.
