XioSynth 49 comes with the brand new X-Gator patch programming facility. This is a 32-step sequencer where varying levels of each step can be set to create rhythmic patterns, without having to rely on an external sequencer. X-Gator, as well all the XioSynth effects, will synchronise automatically to incoming MIDI clock.

As an audio interface, the XioSynth includes an XLR mic input with phantom power and low-latency drivers. It can also stream it's internal synth's audio over its USB connection to a computer. The USB port can also power the hardware with bus power, or an AC adaptor or AA batteries can be used to run the instrument. Check out more details at www.novationmusic.com.
