XW-Addict

I wonder what the mysterious 42 means in the end of the video.

You've contributed allot such as in technical nature helping people solve things that also a form of contribution

Ahah found that one wasn't sure of it but found a few youtube vids explaining how to do it, now i'm sure of it I can create lengthy samples with all the sample banks into a wicked performance patch.

Multi sample sounds that what you want to do if I'm correct?, Well you can try but the G1 actually doesn't support that feature well, But you could try it with all the sample banks available but it will be a daunting time consuming task to arrange to map every banks sample to all the keys in performance mode. However the G1 is the only synth in the XW range that support adding samples in an solo synth patch to go beyond the wave type set. Splt mode is very ideal for creating new sample drum sets, The function nicely records each beginning and end of a sample successively until the end of sample space is reach great for those classic 808 , Dubstep or dance drums you want to add in your repertoire. As I said if you want to add multi-samples you would need all sample banks to create a correct sound scale for a Userwave set but you would be limited by sample rate and the max range of octaves to use that if low quality sample rate and length is not a problem to pan it out could give a nice vintage sound have not try it out yet seems to tedious might find a tool that can help to design custom Userwaves that said I would recommend a two octave bass sound only. I'll take a look into it myself idea's have sprung into the mind .

I agree it must be key-syncing like AlenK said for the presentation and it surely has to be the XW-P1 sounds we hear , I understand what he is saying but I hardly believe him to be an amateur musician someone else did it for him while he play-backed a bit off key his hand movements where to erratic for someone playing the keys for real. Still a very interesting and amusing presentation XD.

I giggled and lolled how he played the keys it was almost real :)

This song is what synth music is about a good sonic vibe something that takes your attention listening if this is what motivated you then it must be it sound enough. Adding more could get worst but mostly if you leave it and let a few day's passed on it you suddenly find the inspiration for another nice fitting score or phrase. I've listened to this a few times it really pegs my imagination.

You've got me moving XD

XD.

XD got this one free with my soundcard as soft synth PPG still popular today thinking of it now as course of practice going to try to emulate some of it patches on the G1.

Can you let us hear how this sound like by making an mp3 file if you may.

This one mesmerized me.

Ooh let me also in on this ... XW-A-PG the alfa performance and groove synth with extreme dsp engine step and real time sequencing, extended sampling , three track audio recording/playing. Splits , double hexlayers , solo and solo+ edge bell timbres synth. Color would be green/yellow.

Thanks I'll try it out.

I not only like my G1 I love it, Specially the sonic it can create. To be honest it can be intimidating on some of it features but once you master some bits of it capability its like oh wow I did not know that and that when you start to sculpture sounds and what not with it specially the bass its soOOOO LOw nice and GrooVy.

Thank you kindly I myself was baffled of the noise the G1 could make yet again I was inspired by a movie about Nature and a video game .

Hello I like to give a call out for people who like me are no good at creating a Solo synth patch, If you like me want to create a Solo but know how to make a nice performance patch please post it on the forum let others enjoy your work until the time there when you create great solo patches. Best regards. Please post these performance and share them with us.

I've personally noticed the limitation that Lucabbrasi is talking about the DSP on the XW series. I want to assign DSP to every channel each its own, While making the "Get ready" song wanted it also in performance mode to happen thus the limitation it could not. I hoped also an firmware update could change all that. But as I read about Casio not doing such things. I can circumvent these limitation by recording on an external device. And create from every instrument an Performance patch like I already do which also work but it leaves the XW a bit out. Also some way that when you edited a patch it stores the parameter likely as how you would alter a tone by A.D.S.R with the knobs the synth stores these setting. And if you want to reset it its done just as easy. Unless (came to my mind while I was typing)someone here on the forum uses an Ipad with cubasis on it and tells the experience about it with the XW. (OMG)

I don't know how it works actually but instead of letting the files be downloaded I've added my soundcloud link hopes it works nicely let me hear. Ok I've added two songs created from my G1 plus G1 dsp effects recorded straight on four tracks to Boss micro Br. Bonus my CityBrass perfromance patch in one of those songs . http://snd.sc/16ROQRT http://snd.sc/1dBupKO

I'm lazy with recording stuff and am not so good with the sequencer on the XW-G1. Its not that difficult to sequence on the G1 but some stuff don't go that easily get to work with. To be honest making a beat on the G1 is easy with a bass loop and such the other stuff isn't because recording is different on the G1 when you do chords. I use my Boss micro Br for recording my music the Boss and G1 are hooked on an MG02C mixer it does the job but not as sweet and likable like the performance patches on the G1. I'm recently taking courses playing the key's better I'm not a good pianist keep tempo and such a good ear hears the mistakes in my recordings. You can hear it with "Get ready" I went nuts on that using the dsp on each drum part and recorded the organs over it for the complete sample loop. Then I recorded in one take the whole sequence, once you hear what the G1 does your on a role. The second track I did three snares to accompany a kind of vibe groove thing.I love to create music that is so different that you listen to it over and over and over again. I have that with the G1 seriously I love all my synths, Have an Korg mw1 also sequencing on it is a breeze I use some software synth to but when I record something I only use "1" synth and all of its capability's alone. I do not use Cubase or Ableton as of yet. What I want is to learn how to sequence better I've watched the vids about the step sequencer they are O.k but not to sound like a nag I need to do it better meaning. When I record a drumbeat can it with different dsp effects , When I change an instrument like the bass will all the edited parameters be in the sequence. Does the equalizing apply to all parts of instrument sequencing. TWO SONGS. I've added two of my recording which I made today 22-9-2013, its all G1 again sampled a drumloop on the looper (love it)using performance patches and recorded all the other in one live take on the Boss micro br. You can find them on the share your music section. The first song called "Natures Colors" I wanted to visualize a flower that opens up in the morning the sky turn from night to day and back again the wind that blows the sea that waves everything nature. Used for that song a few perfomance mode patches like Pop Lead, Groovekit ,Space ,Summer chill. tweaked it with the magic of the four assignable knobs love those. Everything comes from that except the drums patterns I used the looper for that.. The next song called "Stepping shoe's" same drumpattern on looper as with "Nature Colors" added VA synth for bass line, performance patch Reggae Mix and CityBrass my own creation which you can find on the forum ,Again tweaked with the knobs. I've used the DSP a bit to much as well on the mixer side as the on the instrument patches.

I always matched it visually with the work of Salvador Dali but then in sound

I don't have an IPad.

Android does not support MIDI sadly plus there are performance issue with cheap android devices. Only 100% certified android devices run smoothly but with no midi support its quiet useless for music making.

Pierre Schaeffer reminds me of the work of some Danish and Swedish sound artist way back in the eighties I remember it aired on Tuesday's forgot the names and material lost the cassette's with the recording where I recorded it on but like Pierre it sounded other worldly such vibrancy depth and atmosphere. Stuff they did with violins was strange and synth like. Music like that I wish could here it again the only thing I remembered was a Swedish danish like name sound like Aoken.
