Great job Casio on the XW G1 Groove Synthesizer! And thanks for this forum as the manual is hard to understand and is missing some information. I just got my XW G1 a few days ago. I am a synth player and songwriter of R&B and EDM. Before the XW G1 I had a set of keyboard/synthesizers for R&B, another set of samplers/keyboard/synthesizers for EDM, and it required multiple products for the features included in the XW G1. I was beginning to build my own synthesizer that had all these features in one unit to reduce the amount of equipment I had to haul around, setup, and take down. As I was searching YouTube looking up how to build a step sequencer, I came across the videos of the XW G1. I researched it and ordered one. As soon as I learn how to use all the features of the XW G1, I will only need the one synthesizer XW G1 for all this functionality. Thanks Casio!
