SmoovJazzy55

I'm digging the pads, and color screen. I'm hoping Casio will go in that direction in in the future.

I did the updates within the first few hours after receiving both my P1 and G1 (Mac Mini 2.26 gHz) running Mavericks, with no issues at all. The total update time was about 5 minutes for each synth.

Well, you got me there.

What is the difference between the $29.95 and $49.95 gig bag for the XW series?

Scott, I'm also on the Casio XW FB page, real name is Ron Good. I'm a smooth jazz junkie, hence the name SmoovJazzy.

I looked for a new members area, so if I missed it, Mod's please move this post. I've been a synth junkie since the first heard The Electic Electric of Bill Hyman as he played a Moog Synthesizer way back many years ago. I was hooked and bought my first synth, a Moog Opus-3. I've owned a slew of them since then, handsome I wish I still had now that I see the prices they are bringing on eBay. Roland Jupiter-6 and Jupiter-8, the original Electro Harmonix Vocoder and so on. I've also had two Casios, a CZ-101 and a CZ-5000. Recently I bought a Yamaha Tyros 5, but it is way too much for what I want to do, plus it is for a performer, of which I am not. Fast forward to today, my gear is a Novation Ultra Nova, Native Instruments - Machine Mk2 and Maschine Studio, Komplete 9 Ultimate, Novation LaunchPAD Mini, LaunchKEY Mini and LaunchKONTROL Mini for using Ableton Live 9. I recently added my twins I call them, a Casio XW-P1 and a WX-G1. Let me say that I'm blown away by some of the sounds of these two synths, and a few of the sounds actually sound better (in my opinion) than those on the Tyros 5 which is a $5000.00 arranger/workstation. My main instrument is a set of Roland V-Drums as I've been drumming for over 20 years, but I still live tweaking the sounds of synths. I look forward to reading what others are doing with their Casio's and learning more too.

Excellent, I'm going to have some fun, fun, fun, once I finally get my XW's delivered.

Can you do the same thing, but use a Native Instruments Maschine Studio or Mk2?

So does that mean if you but together a multi-track song, including the arpeggiator, drums and such you could play that song into a DAW like Logic Pro X and then manipulate it?
