Being a piano-oriented guy, I got myself what I thought was the best stage DP available - a Yamaha P200. Since we didn't need too much else the P200 couldn't handle, I gigged for almost a year with a Casio that I picked up at the Englishtown flea market for $15. It had sampling capability but no user memory. Don't recall the model. Wasn't much, but it enabled me to put a decent flute line on "Can't You See" while I saved up for my QS7.1 . . .

We didn't know about the Kronos until it was announced at NAMM. Of course I wouldn't expect Casio to be as tight-lipped, but time will tell.

Members The Audacity Works Posted January 4, 2012 Members Share Posted January 4, 2012 In the new issue of Sound on Sound, there's a Casio teaser ad with a shadowy image of what appears to be a proper synth. Don't have the issue in front of me right now, but from what I remember: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Conbrio Posted January 4, 2012 Members Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hmmm, some info has been leaked. Waiting for confirmation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mate_stubb Posted January 4, 2012 Members Share Posted January 4, 2012 From KC: "Not sure if this was leaked early, but I just saw the Feb '12 softcopy of Keyboard, which lists the Casio XW-P1 on the New Gear page. Describes it as a "lead and groove oriented hybrid synth." I guess this is the game changer. Shows it at $699." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Conbrio Posted January 4, 2012 Members Share Posted January 4, 2012 I guess that's the confirmation! EDIT: I saw the picture and it looks nice. A little bit like the Jupiter-80 (which was my prediction back when this thread started). The Casio won't be as exciting as the Jupiter, but at $699 list, I'm interested!

Members Gaul Posted January 4, 2012 Members Share Posted January 4, 2012 Casio XW-P1. Awkward name. They could come up with more simple name or better combination of letters. It's already too long, what will be with later versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Casio Man Posted January 4, 2012 Members Share Posted January 4, 2012 I was, still am, hoping for cheap 1000$ Casio, instead of cheap $699 Casio. The earlier pic, that Bernard(if I remember) posted looked like it could at least have MZ-2000-ish "draw bars", which hinted into organ modellings general direction and Casio has used draw bars as synth knobs as well.And XW-P1 sounds like they don't want to sell many copies.

Members liliththekitten Posted January 5, 2012 Members Share Posted January 5, 2012 XW-P1 is at least as bad a name as 01/W or whatever.The synth sounds cool... hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members donaldcrunk Posted January 5, 2012 Members Share Posted January 5, 2012 hybrid lead/rhythm synth? um... alrightstill titillated i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members piano39 Posted January 5, 2012 Members Share Posted January 5, 2012 Lots of chatter about the name of this new synth. It will grow on you.Maybe the XW means something about the synth architecture, like cross wave, and has lots of mod routings between oscillators.Or better yet, maybe the "XW" stands for "Ex-Wife", which I probably will have if I buy another set of keys.Or, Maybe someone read the photo upside down, and what we are really talking about is the new Casio 1b-MX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Metrosonus Posted January 6, 2012 Members Share Posted January 6, 2012 I'm interested. I'll admit it. Could turn out to be a Jx305 / DJXII or something.. but it's new and from casio. Beats the Juno / Gaia let downs stuff out of sheer novelty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Conbrio Posted January 6, 2012 Members Share Posted January 6, 2012 The price is right as well (list $699). I'm guessing stores will sell them for $599-$649. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
