something's telling me casio is about 10-12 years behind, they could easally have done this in 1998-2000 . . . nothing new really! :=/ ________________________________ Från: Simon Beck <simon@...> Till: CZsynth@yahoogroups.com Skickat: tisdag, 24 januari 2012 9:06 Ämne: Re: [CZsynth] Re: Casio XW-P1 virtual analog... As I understand it, the new Casio has four modes: !. Drawbar organ 2. Monosynth, allowing up to 5 virtual oscillators plus external input 3. Layer mode, allowing up to 6 layers, but no true synth parameters. 4 Step sequencer mode (including drums) These can be combined in various ways, including ,ultiple splits. But I may be wrong.

My point was just that as it stores in 16 bit you should be able to edit it/use it normally. As you say it's odd they chose that, assuming it's not a typo. The way I hear/read the "mono synth" line, I think it just refers to how they're doing multiple mono voices and that they are promoting their mono voice expressiveness (if you see a bunch of the articles/their promo stuff they seem big on that). Note it is polyphonic, as you say; I suspect they stack mono lines to create polyphony much as before, what with the 1-32 poly for some tones as it says.
