That's true for sure. I like the way Casio implemented the sliders for their layers. Maybe that's what I meant would be copied
.Man coming up with two layers before was tough,but man six is really a challenge. The sliders really help alot.
All this sound from one Synth. Are you sure its not magic?

How long do you all think it will be before you see other Synths /Keyboards with Hex Layer Tech??
I bet within the year you will see Hex Tech is some form or another in new keyboards.
They will probably give it some crazy name like M.S.M.N technology.(Multiple Sounds Making Noise).

Hey that is a good tip.
-
I tried mine today and found out it did save my hex layers correctly. I made the mistake of playing two Hex layers I that I had made where, I used similar effects on both.I thought it was carrying knob positions over . My mistake.
The sliders I like to start out with them halfway.
I usually do all the steps above before I even power on my XW. It's like I always have the same starting point to begin with this way. Kinda like a pre-flight check for airplanes

Here is a tip for all you guys when you download new sounds for your XW-P1. I'm sure it would work the same for the G1 also.
Before you play the sounds...
1. Make sure the modulation wheel is all the way down.
2. Start your octave out on zero. You can always adjust it later to taste.
3. Set the k1 thru k4 knobs to zero. This should ensure a dry mix to start out with.You can always adjust it to your taste afterwards.
4. Put the 1 thru 6 sliders left to right at the halfway point.This just adjusts the volume for the six layers to the same amount.The 7th slider controls the total volume for the whole patch. Set the last two sliders from the right all the way down. This temporarily turns off the master effect for the whole patch( if they are used.)You can adjust them slowly up get desired sound.These last two will do nothing if no total master effect is set.
I've created several hex layer patches on my XW. I've noticed switching between patches if I have the knobs adjusted for one patch....it affects the next hex patch I switch to. I only notice this on hex sounds so far.Could be because of the insane amount of tweaking you can do to these sounds.
This should get you closer to what the creator of a Hex patch wanted you to hear.

File Name: Letting go
File Submitted: 28 Oct 2013

This is a Strings/Piano Hex Layer patch. I wanted something for playing the song from The movie SUPER 8. It's titled "Letting Go"...so you see where i got the patch name.
Layer 1 and 6 are stereo strings.
Layer 2 and 5 are pianos.
Layer 3 is a warm pad (Just to give me a little sustain).
Layer 4 is a Harp. Seems to soften the pianos a bit.
I left the reverb kinda dry,so add with knob 4 to your liking. I like the octave at 0 or +1
I'm really happy with this one

Do you mean Mikes new I-pad app can do random Phrase generations? Man I may have to check it out some more. I've had my Xw almost a year now,and it still surprises me. I'm still figuring out new stuff it can do.
Trust me... these synths are no toys!

I wonder if there is any chance Casio could get Stephen Kay to write the K.A.R.M.A. Software for their Keyboards? The Privia PX5S ,Xw,or G1 would be great for this.

This is a hex layer "loosely" based off the famous d-50 patch Fantasia.
Sliders 1 and 2 are the synth and pad part. They only trigger from keys b4 and down.
Sliders 3, 4,5, and 6 are bell type ,E.P. sounds. They only playfrom keys c5 and up.
Add reverb to taste.
