XANOISE

• Nine synthesis engines fill six tracks: DRUM-X, VOICE, ANIMAL, LOFI, ANALOG, FM6, PHASE, WHEEL and NOISE, with no samples.
• The sequencer gives each track 64 steps with piano roll, parameter locks, chance, ratchets, slide and knob automation.
• Live recording with overdub, metronome and count-in keeps where you played to a 64th of a step.
• ALGORITHM picks the track, PRESETS loads sounds, SELECT walks the pages, and holding a button puts its shortcuts on keys and knobs.
• Eight projects each hold four sections and a song of up to 16 rows with scenes, autosaving ten seconds after your last change.
• Thirty-two named user presets store a track's sound, and the web editor downloads and restores songs, sections and presets.
• USB carries class-compliant MIDI and audio with every track as its own stem, and TRS MIDI and external clock connect too.

SEQ

You build the pattern on the piano roll with steps, locks, playheads, mutation and automation.

LFO

You set the LFO, the MSEQ modulation sequencer, the MOD matrix and the four macros M1 to M4.

FX

You dial DIST, AUTOPAN, the SLICER bus, delay, reverb, chorus and the master.

GLO

You set track levels and pan, the tempo, the DJ FILTER and the LIVE pages that bend the six sequences.

SCL

You choose the song's ROOT and SCALE, which every melodic track follows.

SAVE

You store sounds, sections and projects and chain the sections into a song on ARRANGE.
