Came across something called Linux "Studio 3.3" and an upgrade version 4. Linux-especially to happyrat whose info i've been following-just discovered a very interesting "distro" which apparently has been around awhile-I've had some trouble getting all the Linux music software to mesh-just my lack of experience and understanding-I've been "weaned" in the Microsoft bottomless pit of security patches, BSDs, mismatched drivers and assorted fecundities which has aged me even beyond what I should be. Very polite, friendly customer service-and met Mike in person, made me feel like a friend. I brought the Xw there myself, i wanted to see it in person. But then, I live about 25 miles from Dover, NJ-brain central headquarters for Casio in the US-just a coincidence, what a nice place. How dit you solve this? Could your Casio be repaired?īarxxo-thanks to Mike Martin here in the US, Casio turned the XW-P1 around for me in less than a week, no charge which I don't think is typical but was a very generous approach to damage I did not anticipate as possible. I'm selling my sampler and a keyboard on ebay, because the Casio will replace them both hopefully :-)
I own another synth, a MicroKorg, then there is a Kaossilator, first generation. It's a fascinating machine but imho not easy to master, if you dig deeper. I don't like to use computers to make music, i need hardware, knobs and sliders :-) (although i was experimenting with "Pure Data" and still want to in future)
It's easier to install than Windows 7 and runs for a year now without major problems. Im a very satisfied user of Manjaro Linux, a user friendly Arch Linux fork. Would've to buy one, too expensive for me. And many music programs, a much betterpartition manager and every software program I need.Īt first i want to apologize for my relatively limited english, i'm from germany.Īt the moment i run linux only. I run it with a "frugal" install on the hard drive, even with many updated programs it uses so little memory. It is so fast compared to Windows that most days I go online with its version of Firefox. Currently using Puppy Slacko latest 5.7 running Wine also. I am an avid fan of Linux, known to many of us as Android (same basic OS fyi except Google hijacked a version of it, repackaged it as Google Android. That alone sabatoged the entire process, and I had already upgraded from the earliest to the next step up. I have the unpleasant distinction of being the first here at least to brick my XW by leaving my virus scanner active which interrupted the process while I was doing it as it scanned the upgrade file. Absolutely agree, do not do anything other than Mikes intructions on firmware upgrade.
