Novation XioSynth 49 Key Version

Recently labelled as a truly excellent all-rounder and picking up its fourth award at the same time, XioSynth now has a big brother for anyone wanting the same awesome sound and unrivalled feature set, but with more freedom for hands to roam. Xiosynth 49 is shipping now, available in all good pro audio stores worldwide.

The XioSynth features 200 hard-hitting onboard patches, utilising 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.

Also included is a brand new patch programming facility called X-Gator. This is a 32-step sequencer where varying levels of each step can be set to create interesting rhythmic patterns, without having to rely on an external sequencer. Of course, the X-Gator, like all effects and the arpeggiator, will synchronise automatically to incoming MIDI clock so that composing and performing along to a track become a breeze.

In addition to quality synthesizing, the XioSynth provides everything else required to produce and perform music with a computer, through its comprehensive audio/MIDI interfacing and MIDI controlling ability. One USB cable is all thats needed to turn your computer into a complete workstation for recording, controlling and synthesizing. However, for those keen to escape the confines of the studio, XioSynth works just as comfortably as a standalone instrument, even powering off AA batteries for complete portability.

Sixteen onboard memory slots for MIDI Templates are pre-programmed to work with popular software straight out the box and, since the device is class compliant (no drivers for Win XP or Mac OSX), you truly can just plug and play. Additionally, the XioSynth boasts a new hybrid mode that allows simultaneous synthesizing and MIDI controlling, making it the most flexible device on the market and a worthy tool for the widest range of applications.

The audio interfacing spec includes the ability to record a microphone with phantom power, as well as simultaneously stream the onboard synth audio directly to the sequencer via the USB cable. Although the device is class compliant (no drivers are necessary), there are drivers provided that minimise the latency and make XioSynth more stable with certain software platforms.

As with the ReMOTE SL (Novations revolutionary Automap MIDI controller), an accompanying DVD offers a series of video tutorials, which succinctly explain the operational basics and main features. These offer blessed relief from written manuals and are a quick and easy way to get started with XioSynth.

With all of these features, plus the pleasant semi-weighted keyboard mechanism and much-loved Xpression pad and stick, all for a very attractive price, the XioSynth is a no brainer. Whether youre new to music production and in search of your first instrument (or even MIDI controller or interface), or already an owner of a collection of synths but want new Novation sounds, the XioSynth wins on every count.
