The Casio XW-P1/G1 were pretty lightweight and hollow on the inside (in a good way), they can easily make a slim version of the XW series

I had a dream about 7 or 6  months ago that Casio made a slim version of (what very much looked like) the casio xwp1 synth!
 

Does anyone have any information or clues.

“Still available” (left over inventory), and “manufactuing” (still producing) are very different things. Is Casio still producing the MZ-X?  I’m very curious as well.

 

According to a Casio product manager I spoke with, Casio “dabbled” in the pro-sumer arranger market, (>$1,000), but has decided to stick with low-end intro. keyboards, which they are better known for.  The sales goals were not met and although the MZ-X became popular in some niche markets, it’s ultimately about profit margin.  Casio is interested in volume sales, and not competing directly with Yamaha, Roland and Korg. (Please don’t debate on this thread whether they “compete” with Y, R and K.  It’s a matter of perception in the industry and profits, period.)

 

According to the product manager, Casio will not be building any follow-up to the MZ-X500 (unfortunately).

 

In my opinion, and based on my conversation with the product manager, Casio has decided to stop production (or will soon) of the MZ-X to focus on the lower-end AiX chip keyboards.

 

If anyone has any other specific information as to Casio’s plans for the MZ-X, please share.

 

We're the sales goals ever met for the xwp1/g1.

can anyone send me, or repost the image of scottym's original XW-Z -MPC Controller Synth

I can't seem to find it anywhere, and I really wanted to see it again.

I was hoping for another xw synth preferably the xwp1
