Subject:Re: First Video of the C2D from the NAMM both

According to a forum I just looked at, it is a prototype, and suffers from
various pre-production glitches.

But the one to watch is the new Casio XW-P1 performance synth. Drawbar organ
with sliders (with 8 steps per drawbar!), 6-oscillator monosynth (including
external input processing), 6-layer poly section, programmable drums and
arpeggiator and lots more, all for $499. And then the idiots forgot to put
an expression pedal input on it! Oh well...
