Sampling External Sounds // Casio XWPD1 Tutorial Workflow with Novation Circuit

[@lapedalquest]

I have to say that with the software editor i easily been able to use 16 effects (all the pads) with just 1 bank, i can do the same with the other 3 banks. Possibly there are limitations that i dont know, but at least i'vee been able to load 16 HPF LPF Filters in 1 bank, was one of the first things that i've done when started to use the editor with no effort.

A 4'51"" tu peux entendre que la mélodie à été samplée au moment où la première note se fait entendre (circuit step 2.3/16), ce qui est dû au paramètre [auto] (audio trigger gate) . Puis, sur le XW tu as placé le déclenchement de ce sample sur le step 1.1 ce qui donne ce décalage de deux temps et demi. Tout fonctionne donc normalement !!

@@lolophonique3268 oui, c'était une toute première vidéo que j'ai réalisée il y a longtemps. peut-être que je ferai de nouvelles vidéos dessus un jour

[@nEntropy]

Great video. Towards the end you seem to be activating effects which stay on until you deactivate them. I've only been able to get the effects to work while the button is being manually held down. Can you recall how to make the effects stay on? I guess it was a long time ago when you made this video though!

[@RonCavagnaro]

Hey sorry I just got one of these again lol yeah just make sure the hold button is on.

The XW-PD1 is capable of so much more than meets the eye. Easy to start, but a steep learning curve to make it sound good. I started using it as a sampler for some beats now. The effects are also off the chain! Just use a 🎧 and it sounds 👍.

[@lapedalquest]

I've started to used the trackformer since a few months. I'm wondering if there is a way to change the stock "sounds", instead of using the limited amount for "user samples". The other thing that i don't understand is if i use a "User sample", i can only managed to use 1 sample in 1 bank, with different pitches, instead of loading varios user samples in just 1 bank. Anybody knows a way to use more User samples in 1 bank?

[@lolophonique3268]

@@lapedalquest dans une bank "drum" on peut configurer un (ou plusieurs) pad(s) pour qu'il(s) joue(nt) un sample. Comme tous les autres sons du drum kit on peut modifier le pitch de chaque pad et obtenir la gamme de son choix de façon chromatique. Il faut que ce pad soit joué pour être actif, appuyer sur [pad] et tourner le knob (value) tout en jouant le pad pour entendre la différence demi-ton par demi-ton. ! ne pas oublier de sauvegarder !

Thank you for the tutorial. Cheers.

[@RonCavagnaro]

Emon Arema I've been having line noise issues so I took mine out of the studio

[@nathantherrien2136]

Greate video. It helped a lot. When talking about extra features, what are you refering to? The only thing I know is that it has different triggering modes. Is there something else?

[@RonCavagnaro]

There's lots of features. I just got myself this gear again because it's so crazy awesome I'll try to get some more videos of it

[@raffitchakmakjian]

whats up with the crazy cave verb on your voice? :D

[@RonCavagnaro]

Raffi Tchakmakjian for my earlier videos I was using a reverb I thought was light but ended up being massive after uploading so my new videos don't have it.

[@raffitchakmakjian]

interestingly enough, it's a cool verb, mind if I ask what it is? Stock daw plugin? 3rd party?

[@RonCavagnaro]

Raffi Tchakmakjian yes it is Valhalla vintage verb

[@raffitchakmakjian]

thanks for the reply, I know Valhalla is highly recommended on various forums, I see (or hear rather) why, good stuff. Nice tutorial as well.

he just lives in a cave bro leave him alone

[@oscillated139]

midi synched mine using kenton usb to midi box that I bought for use with mu OP 1

[@RonCavagnaro]

oscillated it's not a midi clock though. How do you use it?

[@oscillated139]

I will test it out again as it is a while since i did this but I think I used it to start in synch with my pc and other synths. It doesn't solve everything but it means it can work alongside whatever your set up might be.

[@RonCavagnaro]

oscillated yes it can start and stop but it can go off synch due to no clock. I use it a lot for mangling only

[@DonovanPresents]

Can you upload samples without having to use a computer after uploading?

[@RonCavagnaro]

Donovan Simmons sorry I am unsure what you mean how would you upload without a computer

[@DonovanPresents]

I just watched the NAMM version. I was wondering if you could import audio samples into the Casio then disconnect from the computer and play it that way. I think that's possible, but I am unsure...

[@RonCavagnaro]

Donovan Simmons ah I misunderstood yes you can upload and disconnect for sure

[@hugocesarhc]

does a tutorial to add samples of sounds inside with the notebook I can not find

[@RonCavagnaro]

I am not sure what you mean?

[@sosickhcdrums]

no midi clock! 😩

[@RonCavagnaro]

sosickhcdrums yes but it can still be fun to use, got mine for cheap

[@sosickhcdrums]

Ron Cavagnaro yeah I ended up ordering one online today, I'm hoping I can try and figure out how I can use it with my current set up. I'm thinking maybe I can create a track on it and use it's headphone out to record the track directly onto my zoom r8, and then possible syncing the timing with other recorded guitar/bass/synth/drums tracks. however the lack of a midi clock has me somewhat nervous and skeptical. I was hoping to use it as a drum machine directly into my synth, and outputting from my synth into the zoom r8. I can try but the timing already seems a bit frustrating. leaving me a bit skeptical. hopefully I can make it work though! I'm loving the versatility/capabilities of this unit , but the lack of midi is definitely a game changer! 😩

[@sosickhcdrums]

Ron Cavagnaro - great/informative video though! I appreciate it! it actually helped a lot in my purchasing decision. I'm just hoping the pros out way the cons.

[@RonCavagnaro]

sosickhcdrums it can accept play and stop signals however

[@AndyTanguay]

You're a crazy man! What a wild combo. The PD1 has got to be the weirdest little thing made in a long long time. On mine the record button row doesn't light up, which adds an 'interesting' dynamic...shall we say.
