• 3 oscillators (17 waveforms each) 
• 1 Filter (varying types)

USB Audio/MIDI interface

Xio has an onboard ultra-low latency 2 In/2 Out audio interface, for high quality recording and playback. You can record a microphone with phantom power, and simultaneously stream the synth's audio directly to your music software via the USB cable. There is also a  1/4" jack input for DI recording (guitars, bass) which can be used as an input simultaneously with the microphone input.

Fully assignable MIDI controller

Xio has 11 assignable knobs and buttons (doubled to 22 by a Group A/B switch), plus the Xpression pad and stick. There are 16 onboard Templates, so Xio can control major software applications out the box. Xio also comes with a software Template Editor, and hybrid modes for using the synth whilst controlling software with Xio's knobs and buttons.


Overview


Xio is a powerful 10 voice synth in a compact body. It comes with 200 onboard patches, using a new optional filter distortion to add overtones before the cutoff and resonance.

As well as the factory-loaded patches, Xio is a powerful synth for programming you own sounds. It has 3 oscillators per voice, a variety of filters, 2 LFOs and Novation's trademark synth multi-FX.

Xio is also a 2 in 4 out USB audio-interface with 1/4" jack and XLR inputs, enabling you to record sound into your computer, and send sound to different sources (monitors, headphones, FX loops) out of your computer.  

Xio is class compliant, so no drivers are required for Windows XP or Mac OSX (although some are provided to improve performance on PCs). Xio can battery powered, functioning as a standalone synth.
