Keyboard synthesizer
Review: The Casio XW-G1 Groove Synthesizer keyboard is designed with today's DJ in mind, incorporating step and phrase synthesizers, hands-on control and a sample looper.

The Casio XW-G1 can create and play back a variety of rhythm patterns and musical phrases, all in a single unit. Users can enjoy playing an all-in-one instrument that enables control of cool sounds via sets of nine sliders, 16 Step Sequencer buttons and four assignable knobs arranged on the left side of the top panel.

Rhythmic patterns can be sequenced end-to-end to create entire songs and grooves and then be manipulated in real time with the set of 16 buttons. The phrase sequencer lets users create and play back musical phrases that spice up DJ performances, and up to 100 musical phrases can be spontaneously played on the keyboard and be stored in memory as user phrases.

The sample looper in the Casio XW-G1 digitally records any sound and this can be overdubbed to build up complete grooves with ease. Sampled sounds that are saved as user tones can be played in keyboard performances and looped to create original on-the-fly music. 420 preset tones including Solo Synthesizer and PCM tones can be quickly accessed in keyboard performances and the arpeggiator can automatically spice up melodies just by pressing keys.

Performance synthesizer ideal for live performance
Review: The Casio XW-P1 Performance Synthesizer is ideal for live performance in any situation, being light-weight and slim-line with the ability to run off dry-cell batteries.

The XW-P1 has a wide selection of presets including Solo Synthesizer, Hex Layer, Drawbar Organ tones, and a wealth of PCM and Synth waveforms. Performance setups can be pre-defined for quick access and sounds can be layered and split across four keyzones. On-board phrase and step sequencers can create instant beats and phrases, and the arpeggiator gives instant melodic movement to any sound.

SMF data or audio data saved on an SD card can be played back while playing the keyboard, and MIDI devices, microphones, audio players, and other equipment can be connected using the various input and outputs. The Casio XW-P1 can also accommodate external sound modules and portable audio equipment that be placed on the designated rubber holding space for a convenient live setup.
