Team,

If anyone has the link(s) to where many suggestions were made (on this forum) as to what needs to be updated on the X1, please guide me to it. Links to other sites too are welcomed.

I want to make sure I have not missed anything trivial to date before release.

Thanks,

AJ

In addition to the above, I would like to see the "sync start" turn off after the style/pattern has started, i.e. Korg i series implementation.

I know this might be irrelevant, or impossible, but:
- Please add the possibility of selecting your favorite sounds from different sound banks and make your own “User Sound Bank” that you can load at the startup.
In the current software version, you can only load one bank at a time even if you like 1 sound out of 20 in this bank.

AJ, how much time do we have to give some more input?

Also are these updates included on the Oriental OS or is this going to be just for the regular OS? I sure hope that you are taking our inputs into the Oriental OS upgrade.

I will tell you what I wish for, you tell me whats doable:

-Capability to build my own 16MB SND KIT from current kits or from new samples (mixing and matching)
-When EDIT USER VOICE and save...somewhere there is should tell me which ORIGINAL SOUND I edited to ge the current user voice. For example if I take a GUITAR BANK 4 sound 8, and make edit into a USR VOICE that sounds more like an OBOE....when I use that USR VOICE the only way I can tell what it came from is if I take all the parameters back to default!

-Any way to utilize the Flash CARD along with the 16MB RAM to end up with 24MB SND KIT (for example to have all my drum kits in the 16MB kit plus some samples, and on the Flash card only have sounds) This way the patterns will only use the internal 16MB but in truth I have 24MB worth of samples uploaded at once.

-Ability to upload one user voice at a time from disk, instead of the entire uservoice bank. This way if I like a user voice that a friend made, he can simply send me that and I can upload it as an addition to my collection, instead of having to upload his entire bank vs. my entire bank. (for one voice it might be easy to say well just let him tell u how he editted and u do that on ur X1....but what if its 10 voices, or 20 that I want, yet I want to keep my other 50 programmed user voices)

-Anyway you can add "attack" "delay" "resonance" ... and other waveform parameters into PROGRAM EDIT...this way I can actually edit my PROGRAM SOUND itself (this way from one program sound, I can make alot more program sounds using the same user voice and internal voice and so on)

-PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE....can you make one of the 4 OUTPUTS on the X1 be MIC OUTPUT ONLY.....PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE. This way I can use the internal affect processor but EQ my MIC Seperate from my Keyboard. The way it is right now, is OUTPUTS 3 and 4 if I use them for my arranger, one has no effects and the otherone has only reverb. Can the outputs be in such a way to allow us to assign anything to them (DRUMS, BASS, CHORDS....MIC, RIGHT...LEFT...) but keep the effects that are used for that part the same? PLEASSEEEEE ITS SOOOO IMPROTANT FOR ANYONE WHO DOES ONE MAN SHOW !!!!! I love the my vocal harmonizer , but I cant use it, cause now I go with my mic direct to the mixer (not using the X1) cause I want it to have its OWN EQ and Effects so no harmonizer for me unless you can do that.
=> ANYONE KNOW OF A BETTER WAY TO SAY WHAT AM TRYING TO SAY HERE ?

-ONE MORE VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT IMPLEMENTATION => PLEASE ALLOW US ON PATTERN EDIT TO ASSIGN ANY SOUND TO ANY TRACK. PLEASE ALLOW US TO USE DRUM KITS FROM OUR 16MB SND KIT ON DRUM1 TRACK, OR DRUM2 OR BASS TRACK OR CHORDS TRACK. WITH MOST MY PATTERNS I RARELY EVER USE BASS, CHORDS1, 2 AND 3....BUT IN ALOT OF CASES I WANT TO BE ABLE TO USE TWO OF MY DRUMKITS FROM THE 16MB SND IN THE SAME PATTERN AND I CANT DO THAT CAUSE DRUM1 IS LIMITED TO THE INTERNAL DRUMKITS (AND ONLY ONE ORIENTAL DRUM KIT IN THERE). PLEASEEEEEEE I KNOW THIS CAN BE DONE.

IF YOU DONT DO ANYTHING ELSE PLEASE DO THE LAST TWO I ASKED. IF I THINK OF ANYTHING MORE I WILL CERTAINLY LET YOU KNOW.

WE HAVE WAITED LONG WITH LOYALTY TO THE X1, PLEASE MAKE IT WORTH OUR WAIT

THANKS

Hello !!!

I THINK THIS IS FAIR TO ALL X1 USERS!!
We have been like forgotten in this world..And a new O.S will make every X1 user prowd to have a X1 ,cause X1 already is a Nice Keyboard...So why not do it better..

Well i was going to write what i want in the new Os for the Oriental version,but Mosiqar named them before me,thats becase we use the X1 in the same way...

Is it possible to have a flash card with 16mb and sample a drumkits to use in the patterns???? that will be nice...

Thanks
Ziad

Yep.

I am here gathering the info. I had missed out on a point or 2.

Maged: Based on the hardware structure, we cannot currently provide the capability of selecting files fro various voice banks.

Mosiqaar: I am looking into your requests. Some will require hardware changes ... but I will get back to you on a more detailed email.

Thanks,

AJ

I'm not sure if this is possible but the biggiest dissatisfaction I have with my X1 is the inability to read patterns (styles)direct from floppy disk. Another needed improvement is in the way the rotary speaker effect works. At present when one triggers the solw/fast effect you have to let the keys up and repress them before the change takes place. In order to get a more realistic "leslie" effect one should be able to trigger the effect and have it activate while holding a down chord or note.
Thanks,
Deaton V. Jones

Thanks AJ your help is much appreciated. I hate to let go of a keyboard I worked so hard to setup to my taste, yet some of the things I asked for are really crucial for my line of work, so I hope you can do something about it.

If you are going to email me, please post me here when u do
thanks again
