Novation-class USB Synth, MIDI Controller, and Audio InterfaceYou can't spell Innovation without Novation, and that pretty much sums up every product that Novation has introduced since their inception 12 years ago. Now they've gone and done it again with the new Novation XioSynth - an 8-voice polyphonic synth, that's also an audio interface. Oh, and it's also a MIDI controller - all in one compact unit. The XioSynth comes equipped with what is essentially a new sound engine that offers some pretty incredible onboard sounds, many of which just happened to be programmed by top international producers. One USB cable is all that's needed to turn your computer into a complete workstation for recording, controlling, and synthesizing. Since the XioSynth is class compliant (no drivers needed for Win XP or Mac OSX), you truly can just plug and play. The Novation XioSynth is available in 25- and 49-key configurations.Novation XioSynth 25 at a Glance:8-voice polyphonic synth with 32-step sequencerMIDI controller and audio interface200 virtual analog patches programmed by top artistsClass-compliant USBNovation-class Synthesizer with New FeaturesThe XioSynth features a mono-timbral Novation synth engine with 8-voice polyphony. In addition to 3 oscillators (17 waveforms each), 1 Filter (varying types), 2 LFOs (32 waveforms each), an arpeggiator and multi-effects board, this subtractive synth also boasts some brand new facilities such as the X-Gator patch programmer. The X-Gator can be made to gate each patch to create unique 16-32 step rhythmic patterns for every onboard sound, all automatically synchronized to MIDI clock from a sequencer; just press and hold one key to groove along to a track with style.Flexible MIDI Controller and High-quality Audio InterfaceIf wanting a compact controller keyboard for studio or live use, the XioSynth is the most flexible and powerful tool on the market. In addition to synthesizing and audio/MIDI interfacing, the keyboard is also a comprehensive control surface with 22 knobs and buttons (doubled to 44 by a Group A/B switch), plus a freely assignable Touchpad and joystick. All of these controls are pre-programmed in 12 of 16 onboard Templates, so that the XioSynth can instantly control many software applications straight out the box. Add to this many more Templates online, a free Template Editor software application and hybrid modes for simultaneous synthesizing and MIDI controlling, and you have an extremely versatile package for producing or performing.The XioSynth includes an ultra-low latency 2 In/2 Out audio interface for high quality recording and playback. This allows you to record a microphone with phantom power, as well as simultaneously stream the onboard synth audio directly to the sequencer via the USB cable. Equally though, a guitar can be plugged straight into the Jack input for DI recording, as well as simultaneously miked, and recorded with outstanding results.High-profile User PatchesThe XioSynth features 200 hard-hitting onboard patches, utilizing a new optional filter distortion to produce an even greater range of sounds than on previous synths; from the distinctive clean British sound to the filthiest and grittiest of sonic characters. Furthermore, 60 of the onboard sounds come from internationally acclaimed artists and producers from a variety of musical genres, namely James Zabiela, Ferry Corsten, Rennie Pilgrem, Roots Manuva, Shimon and Skeewiff. As such, every one of the patches on the XioSynth is eminently and instantly usable for creating synthesized music of any kind.Highly Portable and USB Class-compliantSimply connecting the keyboard over USB is all that's required to start recording, synthesizing and MIDI controlling. As the device is class compliant, no drivers are required for Windows XP or Mac OSX (although some are provided to improve latency and stability in some apps). Furthermore, if wanting to escape the confines of the studio for a while, the USB cable can be unplugged and the XioSynth can be powered by batteries, functioning as a standalone synth completely separately from the computer.Novation XioSynth 25 Features:One part, 8-voice polyphonic synthesizer3 Oscillators, 17 Waveforms2 LFOs, 32 WaveformsMultimode resonant filter section with various filter optionsExtensive modulation capabilitiesArpeggiator with latchX-GATOR with latchDirect streaming of synth into computer via USBNumber of Keys: 25 Semi-weightedVelocity curves: 7Pitch wheel lever: Rubberized - center return spring loaded left to right motionMod/control lever: Rubberized - spring loaded front to back motionX/Y touchpad: 1 x touch sensitive 45x60mm, 2 assignable parameters in X direction, 2 assignable in Y directionLCD: 2 x 16 character silver, blue LED backlitMIDI: 1 MIDI OutUSB MIDI: 1 In/1 OutAudio Interface Inputs: 1 XLR (with phantom power), 1 TS Jack Audio Interface Outputs: 2 TS Jack (L/R)1 stereo Headphones Jack1 x USB 1.1Sustain pedal: 1 x 1/4 Jack InputRotary potentiometers: 11, 0-270� rotationRotary encoders: 1, 360� continuous DATA wheelButtons: 11 function switchesGroup B switchGeneral operation: 4 Mode and Menu select buttonsKeyboard Octave Up and Down buttonsSynth Menus/Audio mode select buttonEffect Select buttons (Synth Mode)Template/Bank/Page Up/Down buttonsLine/Phones Volume potsBattery operation: 6 x standard 'AA' SizeExternal power supply: Standard 'center positive' 9V DC 600mA (Novation PSU6)Size (25): 468 x 68 x 190 (mm) w x h x dSize (49): 798 x 68 x 190 (mm) w x h x dWeight (25/49): 1.4/1.6kgTemplates (16 preset onboard, more available on Novation website):1.
