  1.  Then use the headphone if getting stereo from it. Play around with the casio volume, input gain on PC, stereo volume on pc. More or less pull up the pcs sound mixer tab so can get a solid balance for recording.

     Beyond that link to free recording program. If you are just recording straight stereo off the casio, then latency will not be a problem.

    My suggestion-without specifying brands which is always based upon much personal listening to decide-powered close-field stereo monitors with settings for equalization if you can find such a beast-placed in an optimum position facing you, preferably at a height equal to your playing position, with a subwoofer below you, centered and near your pedals as bass frequencies are less directional than mids or highs. Since these will be close-field, the size does not have to be overly large. You will not be able to duplicate high-end headphones I think since the external environment will always impact what you hear, a situation solved with closed-back or vented headphones, but I'm sure you can create a very close approximation. I use a small powered mixer with parametric and graphic equalization running to 2 8" monitor speakers with midrange and tweeter drivers. A piano is one of the most challenging instruments to duplicate electronically due to its huge frequency spectrum and complex harmonics and dynamic range-the equalization really helps to tune the sound to something approximating the real thing. Hope this helps you.

     

     Aye, good idea to setup different EQ on left / right channels. Piano is basically mixing a bloody band. If run EQ full open cloned, then, problems. Have to play with levels as well, the old max drive without clipping / noise dance.

  3.  yamaha studio monitors

     

     There said a brand. Only question is five or eight inch. Not going to get headphone sound from speakers. Yet will get clarity and flat as possiable sound, close to reality of what's really going on. Placement is important, basically center of room wall, a few feet in front of wall, high enough where speakers are level with ears, slightly angled so when turn head left / right your looking directly at speaker.

  4.  Nice on the 16 track, I'm using a 2 on 8. Anyhow would like to screw around on the trackformer. Just would like it to pull double duty. Use a hardware sequencer...so if could MIDI it in out and about fun. As it stands I would feel empty, like playing a stylephone and just looking at a studio.

     

     12 bit, I sorta like the sound of that ( use so many deci anyways ). Workflow and integration my only real concerns.

  5.  Well you know, opinions and all. If someone wants to donate one, I would jack off a few tracks.....perhaps literally  :banana:

     

     I want to like and recommend, just lacking MIDI and other i suppose personal reasons can't in good faith. Now if he asked about XWG1, would rave about it.

  6.  None of the above. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you happen to be looking for a " first " device to get into music production...save a bit more money and find something bit more comprehensive. 

     

     That's my shot in the dark.

  7.  Aye, figured that out from a gearsluts thread. Hopefully in the next few years Casio drops off a groovebox with a workflow closer to a electribe. Hah, or I could just be happy with xwg1 already have.

  8.  Aye read in the PDF the option to pick amount of samples in the format menu, just no option shows up in the editor. That's why was wondering if there was some trick. My editor is version 1.1.0.1, so gonna check if there is a newer version. 

     

     Thanks for help, bit batty...always has to be hard before easy.

  9.  Can this device be MIDI/USB directly to a keyboard to play in parts? Can it drive external gear? PC not option in setup as is only used for mastering waves recorded external.

     

     XWG1 is perhaps my favorite monosynth and do like Casio way of doing things. So a Casio groove box is like a bloody dream come true.....Just when noticed lacking of MIDI wind got knocked out of sails.

  10.  Thanks had to sleep on it.

     

     That said. Is it possiable to load the five samples into the editor, save convert....then load that converted file to the synth......after that fine tune the 1-5 splits with keyranges? Ask because that would seem a smoother process and cause a screenshot in the sample PDF had five splits in the editor.

  11.  Ok I'm able to get split one samples converted and loaded to synth. My question, how or am I able to load in multi samples. The goal if able, is to load samples at different octaves to split 1 - 5...then when loaded to the synth place the octaves in a relative key range ( so instrument sounds nice across the keyboard ).

     

     Thanks for any information :)

  12. The issue. Using Korg mx as master with xwg1 as slave. Have midi talking. I'm just sending note data from the mx. Thing is the xwg1 step sequencer auto starts all the bloody time. Had to rig up turning off all channels sans the synth voice of the xwg1 wish to hear. Wish for a better solution and perhaps even a way to trigger multi voices from the mx with the xwg1.
