Casio has introduced their new limited edition XW-P1 synthesizer created by design duo, Dee & Ricky Jackson. The duo is well known for their collaboration efforts with Casio America, Inc. and their highly sought after Casio G-Shock collections. Only two units of the Limited Edition XW-G1 synthesizer were created, which feature the designer duo's unique Lego block design and neon leopard print patterns.

Stephen Schmidt, vice president of Casio's Electronic Musical Instruments Division, told us, "Casio is proud to announce the XW-G1 synthesizer collaboration with Dee & Ricky Jackson. Dee & Ricky are extremely talented designers and we have been thrilled with the designs they have created for Casio's G-Shock collections in the past. We are excited to provide some lucky consumers with a unique version of the widely popular XW-G1 synthesizer."

Twin brothers Dee & Ricky Jackson are two extremely talented designers who come from Staten Island, NY. The pair has a heavy list of celebrity co-signs and has now ventured into the Electronic Musical Instruments world with Casio on the limited edition customized XW-G1 synthesizer. All of the details within the XW-G1 synthesizer were enhanced with the duo's style.

"We are thrilled with the end result of the synthesizer. We hope some very deserving musicians win the 'two of a kind' units from Casio and enjoy the unique Lego block design and neon leopard print patterns," said designer, Dee Jackson.

Here's Casio's description of the XW-G1:

Equipped with 61 keys and Casio's exclusive (HPSS) Hybrid Processing Sound Source, the XW-G1 provides screaming virtual analog monophonic leads and basses, drawbar organs, complex layers, stereo pianos, drums and more to produce the sounds and real-time control any performing musician needs.

A six oscillator monophonic solo synth is just one of the amazing sound engines in the XW-G1. Two virtual analog style oscillators, two PCM based oscillators, a noise oscillator and an external oscillator via mic and line inputs can be combined to make up a single solo synth tone. Each oscillator has an independent filter, envelopes, independent key tracking, portamento, two LFO's and access to master resonant filter.

Furthermore, the XW-G1 has four real-time controller knobs, pitch bend and modulation wheels, along with nine sliders to provide control over internal sounds and external devices. Through standard MIDI ports and with a class-compliant USB port the keyboard can be used as a controller for other instruments, including computer software and iPad® based software applications. It also includes an audio input allowing you to monitor an MP3 player, computer or other device without the need for a mixer.


Pricing and Availability:
Beginning Tuesday, June 25th, Casio will be hosting a contest on their Facebook page , giving music lovers and fans of Dee & Ricky Jackson the chance to win limited edition XW-G1 units. The contest will run through August and two units will be given away.
