help Novation XioSynth 49 FAQ
How many keys does the Novation XioSynth 49 have?
The Novation XioSynth 49 has 49 velocity-sensitive keys. Unlike a basic MIDI-only controller, the XioSynth line also combines keyboard control with an onboard synthesizer.
Can the XioSynth 49 work as a standalone synthesizer?
Yes. It includes internal synth sounds, so it can make audio without relying entirely on a computer. USB and traditional MIDI connections also let it control or communicate with other equipment.
What is polyphonic aftertouch useful for on the XioSynth 49?
Polyphonic aftertouch can send separate pressure information for individual held notes. That allows note-by-note modulation, although the receiving synth or software must support the feature.
Can the XioSynth 49 control drum machines and software synths?
Yes. Its USB and MIDI connectivity lets it send note and control data to software synthesizers, drum machines, and other MIDI devices. It can therefore function both as a hardware synth and as a controller.
