Performance synthesizer
The Casio XW-P1 is a
powerful six oscillator monophonic solo synth that is ready to gig. You
can combine all six oscillators to make a single tone. You get two
virtual analog style oscillators, two PCM oscillators, one noise
oscillator, and one external oscillator for use with line and mic
inputs. Each oscillator has their own filter, portamento, envelopes, key
tracking, a master resonant filter, and two LFOs. The XW-P1 is an
extremely powerful synth that lets you really edit and tweak each
setting. You also have access to the original CZ synthesizer's
waveforms.
Sounds for any gig
Beyond its solo
synth capabilities, the Casio XW-P1 houses a library of gig ready
sounds including pianos, electric pianos, brass, strings, guitars,
basses, guitars, drums, and more. The new drawbar organ mode features
nine steps for each drawbar so you can dial in killer B3 tones. Vibrato,
percussion, and rotary speaker controls are available on organ modes.
XW-P1 also features the new HexTone sounds. A HexTone is a single sound
comprised of six components, allowing complex layers, splits and
velocity switched sounds.
