Casio XW-P1 Performance Synthesizer at a Glance:
  • Performance synthesizer
  • Sounds for any gig
  • Heavy-duty sequencer

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.

Heavy-duty sequencer
Creating animated synth textures and arpeggios or heavy dance grooves is easy with the Casio XW-P1's step sequencer. This unique sequencer gives you nine tracks for basses, drums, synths and chordal parts, four controller tracks for adding panning, filter changes and other animation to existing parts and eight patterns make up each sequence. You can build and mix your performance on the fly with the XW-P1 synthesizer. A 16-step programmable arpeggiator gives you the power to create complex and innovative patterns.

great synth for live gigging

This is a great synth for live gigging. I love the fact that unlike my Motif I do not feel like I need a forklift to move it around. It lightweight and easy to carry and move.

The facto... read more [+]r sounds are Ok but once you start messing around with the sounds it is amazing what it can crank out. The step sequencer is a joy to use and quite fun.

I also love the rubber pad on the right hand side. For live gigging this is very handy for either a small mixer or a midi controller. In my setup I use this for a Novation Launchpad which fits there perfectly.

All in all I am not sure how Casio was able to pull this off for the price point but this is a steal of the year.

I would also like to thank Mark Maxwell my sales engineer for once again giving me great service before and after the sale. Once again Sweetwater is the best! close [-]

Forget whatever you might think of the name Casio. I took a chance and I'm blown away. This is an amazing board. Choose one feature and it is well worth the $499. The step sequencer alone is worth th... read more [+]e price but the sounds this thing can make are truly inspiring. The factory presets are ok, but ITS A SYNTH you won't believe the sounds you can get out of this thing. close [-]

I've had the P1 about three weeks. There are a ton of high quality sounds in this synth and lots of cool features. Very light and portable. Step sequencer and hex layers are great. Every time I tu... read more [+]rn this thing on I learn something new. The manual is large and VERY detailed, but more information is better than not enough. When I can't find it in my office, its usually in my son's room, so i know he likes it as well. Not sure how the price can be $500? close [-]

Ok so my 1st rating was 3.5 but since I've been getting better acquainted with this keyboard, its sounds and capabilities I have to give it a 4.5 rating. The sounds are incredible and with th ability... read more [+] to tweak the sounds, your possibilities are untamed with this unit. The drawbar organ mode is phenomenal.... Straight B3!! If they'd made a model with an extra octave and had an input for an expression pedal, this would definitely be worthy of 5 stars! I know people hear Casio and think cheap/toy. But to all of you who have down talked Casio or have doubts about the quality of their keyboards, I CHALLENGE YOU!! Buy this keyboard before they come to their senses and raise the price! Best value for $500.....REAL Talk!! close [-]
