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 your 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.
