  • Page 3 Introduction and Credits Thank you for purchasing the Xio. Before reading this User Guide, it is assumed that you have read the Getting Started Guide for the product and so have connected and powered up the keyboard and are aware of the basics of operation.

  • Page 4: Front Panel Features

    Front Panel Features 1. Octave Up/Down buttons – Transpose the keyboard up and down whole octaves when in Synth or Controller mode. Also move the cursor left and right when naming Synth patches or Templates and using the X-Gator 2. Line Out and Phones Vol – control the level of the signal at the Line Outputs and Headphones Output on the Rear Panel, respectively 3.

  • Page 5: Rear Panel Features

    Rear Panel Features 1. PSU input – powers the Xio externally (only required if not powering over USB or with batteries) 2. Power select switch – cycles between PSU/battery, Off and USB power 3. USB Connection – sends/receives Audio and MIDI data, and receives power 4.
  • Page 6 Synthesizing Synth mode is selected with alternate presses of the PLAY button and synth patches are selected using the encoder to the right of the LCD screen, as detailed in the Getting Started Guide. Make sure that the Menus/Audio button has not been pressed if attempting to scroll to another sound, as the encoder is used to edit Synth or Audio Menu pages when either of the LEDs above the button are lit.
  • Page 7 The Oscillators (OSCS) Section/Menu The Xio has three oscillators, a Noise generator and a Ring modulator. The oscillators are selected using the ‘osc’ button and indicated by the corresponding LEDs. For example, with the 2nd LED lit, the remaining three...
  • Page 8 OSC3ModEnv>Pitch – controls how much the Oscillator 3 pitch is modulated by the Modulation Envelope (see above) OSC Osc1 Octave – sets the octave of Oscillator 1 between -1 and +2 OSC Osc2 Octave – sets the octave of Oscillator 2 between -1 and +2 OSC Osc3 Octave –...
  • Page 9 OSC 2>3 FM Lfo1 – allows the FM set in the previous FM Level option to be modulated by LFO 1 OSC Fixed Note – sets a fixed note (the same pitch) to be played by every key on the Xio. A 0 setting has no effect.
  • Page 10 The Pulse Width Menu The Pulse Width Menu allows the pulse width settings for the three oscillators to be set.

  • Page 12 The Filters Section/Menu The Filters section receives the signal from the Oscillators section (whether that be one oscillator or all three) and allows that signal to be shaped. The signal can be shaped by a High-pass (where low frequencies can be removed), Low-pass (where high frequencies can be removed) or Band-pass (where only a small band of frequencies remains) filter.
  • Page 13 The LFOs Section/Menu The LFOs (Low Frequency Oscillators) section allows the settings for either of the LFOs to be edited. LFO1 can be used to modulate the Oscillators and LFO2 the Filter. As there are two LFOs, there is a button for selecting which one is being controlled, indicated by the active corresponding LED.
  • Page 14 LFO1 Unipolar – sets whether the LFO modulates in a positive and negative direction (set to OFF) or just in a positive direction (set to ON) LFO1 Common – allows the LFO applied to each of the eight voices to be phase locked, creating a more unnatural sound.
  • Page 15 The Envelopes (ENVS) Section/Menu Amp Attack with LED 1 Amp Decay with LED 1 Amp Sustain with LED 1 Amp Release with LED 1 active and Mod Attack active and Mod Decay active and Mod Sustain active and Mod Release with LED 2 active with LED 2 active with LED 2 active...

  • Page 19 Note that the speed will be overridden by the Arp tempo set in the Sync Menu (see the Sync Menu section for details) if the Xio is synchronising to MIDI clock (received over USB). The Xio will synchronise automatically unless the MIDI Clock Sync option is changed in the Synth Global Menu (see the Synth Global Menu section for details).
  • Page 20 6 different Effects’ Menus, all accessed in the same way but dependent on what Effect LED is active on the Xio. For example, if wanting to edit the remaining parameters for Delay, use the Effect Select buttons (shown above) to select Delay then press the Menus/Audio button (so that the lower LED lights) followed by the button above ‘effects’.
  • Page 21 Whilst in the Effects Menu, you can move to another Effect simply by selecting it with the Effect Select buttons shown in the diagram above. For example, to access the Reverb parameters from the Delay Menu, press the downward Effect Select button so that the Reverb LED lights.

  • Page 23 The 2-D controls Menu (Xpression pad and stick) The 2-D controls Menu allows the function of the Xpression pad and joystick to be edited. All preset synth patches have the Xpression pad set up on the filter frequency (x-axis) and resonance (y-axis) but this can be changed within this Menu.
  • Page 24 Touchpad X Type – sets the Action of the Touchpad to: No Spring (value remains at the last contact point), Spring Left (value jumps to the extreme left value when contact with the pad is ended), Spring Centre (value jumps to the centre value when contact with the pad is ended) Touchpad Y Type –...
  • Page 25 The Aftertouch And Breath Menu This Menu allows the Aftertouch and Breath settings to be edited. Although the Xio keyboard does not have Aftertouch, it can be assigned to the Touchpad to allow effects to be created. The Breath settings determine how the Xio will respond to Breath (CC2) Messages, normally received from a MIDI wind instrument.
  • Page 26 The Sync Menu allows the X-Gator, Arpeggiator, LFOs and Effects to all be synchronised to MIDI clock. This can be an external MIDI clock (from a sequencer for example) or the internal MIDI clock of the Xio, the speed of which is determined by the Arp Tempo knob. The Xio default settings mean that the keyboard will automatically lock to incoming MIDI clock.
  • Page 27 Syn Local Cntrl – determines whether the Xio keys and controls affect the onboard synthesizer. Useful if wanting to use the synth to send MIDI data but not be played whilst doing so. However, the Xio’s hybrid modes mean that it’s probably better to remain in MIDI controlling mode if wanting to utilise the full potential of the keyboard Midi Clock Sync –...
  • Page 28 Routing MIDI to and from the Synth The Xio is an incredibly flexible instrument that can be used to send MIDI data to a sequencer or external hardware, and also receive MIDI data and be played simultaneously. (For more information about playing the Synth in MIDI Controlling mode, read the corresponding Hybrid mode section of this User Guide.)
  • Page 29 MEMORY PROTECTED (The message will appear temporarily and then the Xio will return to PLAY mode.) Then the Xio GLOBAL setting has activated Memory Protect, which will mean onboard memory cannot be overwritten. (See the GLOBAL Menu section for details.)
  • Page 30 Restoring a Synth Patch If a Synth patch has been edited on the Xio, the COMPARE buttons will flash to indicate that the sound has changed. To listen to the saved preset, press and hold the COMPARE button. If the saved preset is preferred then it can be restored simply by using the data encoder to scroll to another onboard sound and then to return to that patch, e.g.
  • Page 31 Onboard Programs (Synth Patches) The two sound banks on the Xio, each with 100 original, fantastic patches, are ordered in different ways. The first bank contains sounds from a US programmer Kelvin Russel, as well as all of the patches from the six highly-acclaimed artists and producers.
  • Page 32 Bank 2 Bank 2 has a variety of fresh, powerful sounds, arranged in groups to help with composition, e.g. basses all together, then leads etc.:...

  • Page 33: Filter Frequency

    MIDI Controlling Selecting/Using a Template When MIDI Controlling mode is initially accessed by pressing the PLAY button, the Xio is in TEMPLATE SELECT mode. The display shows the Template’s name and location in this mode, for example: XIO TEMPLATE:5 When a knob/button is rotated/pressed, the changing value of MIDI data assigned to it is displayed temporarily.
  • Page 34 Template) Although there are only 11 knobs and 11 buttons visible on the Xio, there are in actual fact double that amount available for edit; two Groups (A and B) mean that there are a total of 22 knobs and 22 buttons accessible.

  • Page 35: Sustain Pedal

    Display of Sustain Pedal If a Sustain pedal is connected to the Xio’s rear panel input and activated during PLAY mode, the display will show: Sustain Pedal XXX CC64 XXX shows ‘On’ if the MIDI value sent is 64 or ‘Off’, if the MIDI value sent is less than 64.

  • Page 36: Control Type

    MIDI data assigned to Knob 1 (in Group A or B, depending on which is selected) will be displayed on the LCD screen. Pressing/rotating/moving any of the Xio’s controls will call up the MIDI data for that particular control for editing on the LCD screen, by stepping through the pages of the Template Individual Edit Menu.

  • Page 38: Button Type

    Edit Menu Page 4 –Jump or Pickup Mode Pot/Slider Control: Here, XXX = Pickup or Jump, representing the two types of pot (knob) behaviour. Pickup mode means that the knobs only transmit MIDI data once they have passed through the value of MIDI data set to that control in the currently selected Template, whereas Jump mode transmits MIDI data as soon as the knob is rotated.
  • Page 39 Explanation of Button Type Normal The low value will be sent out as a MIDI message on depression of the button. There will be no action on release of the button. Momentary The low value will be sent out as a MIDI message on depression of the button and the high value sent on release. Toggle When the button is pressed for the first time the high value is sent.

  • Page 48: Velocity Curve

    Velocity Curve: This page allows a velocity curve for the Xio keyboard to be selected; this is the ratio of velocity of transmitted data (relating to volume of sound) to the force with which the keys are pressed. Rotating the DATA encoder selects between Curves 1-7.
  • Page 49 Edit Menu Page 2 – Template Transpose Template Trans: This page allows the keyboard to be transposed within the Template. Rotating the DATA encoder will select a value of XXX between - 64 and + 63. This will be the amount in whole semitones that the keyboard is transposed by, e.g.
  • Page 50 Synth By Control: This page activates Hybrid Mode 1, where the Xio keyboard and/or 2-D controls can be used to play the onboard Synth whilst using the rest of the knobs and buttons to MIDI control. Use the data encoder to select from the following options: OFF –...
  • Page 51 This page activates Hybrid Mode 2, where the Xio onboard Synth can be played by incoming MIDI data received over USB. This means that all of the Xio controls (knobs, buttons, pad, stick) and keyboard could be MIDI controlling various software or hardware, whilst the synth is being simultaneously played by a track within the sequencer.
  • Page 52 MIDI data assigned to the Touchpad can easily be viewed and edited, as with any of the Xio’s controls. Selecting either X1, X2, Y1 or Y2 for edit is slightly different than editing any other control as there are essentially four different controls on the one Touchpad.

  • Page 53: Filter Freq

    Now, whatever control within the Touchpad was pressed (X1, X2, Y1 or Y2) can be edited the same way as any assignable control on the Xio. See the Template Individual Edit mode menus for more information on how to do this.

  • Page 54: Sustain Pedal

    Using a Sustain Footswitch A Sustain Footswitch socket on the rear panel can be used to plug in a pedal to sustain notes, in a similar manner to the sustain pedal on a piano. This pedal is set to CC number 64 in the Factory preset Templates but can be changed in the same way as any other assignable control (by pressing the pedal whilst in EDIT mode and then stepping through the pages of available parameters).

Then the Xio GLOBAL setting has activated Memory Protect, which will mean onboard Templates cannot be overwritten. (See the GLOBAL memory section for details.) Providing Memory Protect (in the GLOBAL menu) is off then, once the WRITE button has been pressed...
  • Page 57 It is possible to abort the WRITE procedure at any stage by pressing another Mode/Menu button (e.g. PLAY, EDIT, GLOBAL). If a Template is not saved to the Xio memory or sent to the Template Editor before selecting another Template in PLAY mode or turning off the Xio, then the settings will be lost forever. However, there are only 16 onboard Templates and overwriting one will replace it forever.
  • Page 58 Playing the Synthesizer in MIDI Controlling Mode – Hybrid Mode A great feature of the Xio is its ability to allow the Synth to be played whilst in MIDI Controlling mode, meaning the full extent of the keyboard can be utilised. These Hybrid mode settings are accessed in the Template Common Edit Menu, activated by pressing the EDIT button twice.
