Novation Xio Synthesizer X-Gator Patch
Xio is the only one of Novation’s synthesizer to feature the X-Gator patch programmer.
What is this? This program can be used to gate each patch so that you are able to create a unique 16-32 step rhythmic pattern for every sound pressed on the keyboard.
All the notes will be automatically synchronized to the MIDI clock with the help of a sequencer. To do this, you simply press and hold one key to groove along. A screen serves as your guide to show the position and volume of each step.
Along with the X-Gator Patch is this amazing synthesizer that comes with the following specifications: 10-voice polyphonic, 3 Oscillators, 17 Waveforms, 2 LFOs, 32 Waveforms, Multimode resonant filter section, filter options, wide-ranging modulation capabilities, arpeggiator and X-Gator with latch, direct streaming of synth into computer, and USB port.
