sadcowsgomoo Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Hey Everyone, I've recently purchased a G1 with very limited knowledge of the product. I was wondering how to record a track let's say on channel one then record something different on channel 2 and keep doing that. Every time I switch the channel when I enter the mixer button, my recording switches onto the next channel. Channels 8-16 seems to be a default drum tracks / bass for the step sequencing. Not sure how to utilize channels 2-7 when the song is looping. Please explain like I'm 5 as this is my first synth I'm using. Thanks, Sadcowsgomoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Sadcowsgomoo Hello and you welcome: I don't understand your question. Can you explain more, please? Thank you. Have patience with the XW-G1. It's a very complex groove synthesizer because it has many options. Edited January 2, 2015 by David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadcowsgomoo Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Hey David, Is it possible to add multiple manual recordings on different tracks (I would assume a different channel) instead of using the step sequencer? Im not sure if this is possible but the idea would be similar to a looping station pedal for a guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomo Alegre Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 sadcowgomoo: Do you mean sample looper? Record in the channel is not possible. Each channel (1-16) can be assigned sounds (tones). You have to use the multi-functionkey of the Performance mode and assign the recorded sound (User Wave) to each key. Use the XW-G1 data editor. The data editor greatly facilitates the use of the XW-G1 and helps to understand the functioning of the XW. http://support.casio.com/en/support/download.php?cid=008&pid=61 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Sadcowsgomoo Hello Sadcowsgomoo, You can use the phrase recorder to record your 1-4 channel. You can overdub and built layers like a guitar looper and even record real-time tweaking automations.Unfortunately only one phrase at a time can be played by default ,but you can override the limitation by assigning pre-recorded phrases with the "Multi-function Keys". You can set 2 extra phrases. There you can assign the phrases to playback channels 5/6 or channel 1. (I don't understand either ,why casio did not allowed to select the other parts (2,3,4)).And don't forget the looper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syrupcore Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Sounds like you're looking for a traditional multitrack sequencer. The XWs don't have one. There is a 9 track step sequencer (8-16) and track 16 can have chords. As mentioned, you can use the phrase recorder to add polyphonic sounds from channels 1-7 but they aren't multitracked (or rather, you can't edit them as you would a multitrack recording). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
