Jokeyman123 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Whew is this a complex (deep) beast? After studying videos and the manual, still don't understand full scope of realtime functions. Can this actually play 1) a full sequence w/drums, bass etc plus 2) any arpeggio or phrase on hold function and finally 3) realtime playing on the keyboard? Yikes! This would be like conducting three independent ensembles in real time!!!! I haven't tried yet because I just got mine, but I think it can and if so, I've never seen anything like this including my much heavier and more expensive "pro" stuff. And I would guess realtime playing with sequencer and arpeggios would allow choosing the 1) organs 2) hex mode 3) solo synth or finally........4) PCM sounds (pianos, etc.). MIke Martin if you are out there, help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Martin Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Yes, yes and yes. Regarding which sound you're playing live on the keyboard that is up to you however you can only use either the Solo Synth, Hex Layer or Drawbar organ. You can not use more than one of these at at time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokeyman123 Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 Thanks Michael for your response. With 64-voice polyphony! I guess I won't have to worry about "note-stealing" as in older workstations regardless of how thick an arrangement I develop, amazing! The user interaction skills required for this is like learning a totally new instrument then-as if I am conducting several different ensembles but creating the parts improvisationally myself, whew! I am posting another question in the sequencing forum for the XW-P1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
