Gnomo Alegre Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 This post is for people of CASIO:Is it possible to create an editor for the step sequencer? For PC / Mac. "An editor that's a big help". Create rhythms would be lighter and easy. 2 Quote
Null Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 I'm with David on this. As an addition to the existing editor or as a standalone product a PC step sequencer editor would be a welcome addition. Gary 1 Quote
AlenK Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 It would seem that the sequencers are terra incognito in the XW synths. As far as i can determine the MIDI implementation document doesn't reveal the detailed organization of the sequencer data in memory, at least not as completely as you would need for creating an editor. It must mean something that the existing PC/Mac editor can edit everything EXCEPT the sequencers. 1 Quote
Null Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 I might have thought that once as well, however, the latest 1.1.2 version of the P1 Editor can import MIDI tunes as phrases so now I'm getting the impression that Casio is holding out on us. If you can import phrases then why not arpeggios and step sequences and why not be able to edit them on a graphical computer screen instead of playing pokeity poke with two doze buttons and a 5 line LCD screen? Likewise, customized sequences can be stored in the user banks so really it's just a matter of some programmer at Casio actually sitting down and creating a usable sequence editor that would liberate us from screen cramp. 1 Quote
Null Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Actually you can in fact download arps and sequences and phrases with the 1.1.2 editor. I just double checked. If these paramters can be downloaded and uploaded and saved to the keyboard then there really should be no trouble involved in creating a simple editor for the step sequencer and arp that conforms to some sort of standard musical notation. 1 Quote
Peter Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Yes I would want a step sequencer editor please. 1 Quote
Gnomo Alegre Posted October 22, 2013 Author Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) The editor for the step-sequencer is a mandatory tool. CASIO can dress him with roses and make it ROAR as a Sumatran tiger.Will CASIO leave bare its XW? Edited October 22, 2013 by David Quote
zymos Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 That would be most excellent.Not holding my breath tho.... Quote
Mike Martin Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 I'll certainly request, but based on what I know of the MIDI implementation of the XW series this may not be possible. I'll ask though. Quote
