Or call us at (800) 222-4700 Sweetwater's Sales Engineers are regarded as the most experienced and knowledgeable professionals in the music industry, with extensive music backgrounds and intense training on the latest products and technologies. In 2007, along with Novation XioSynth 25, an extended version XioSynth 49 was released. As the name implies, all changes concerned only the size of its.
The Waves SSL 4000 Collection was developed under license from Solid State Logic. Includes 3 meticulously modeled plug-ins based on the legendary SSL 4000 Series: the SSL E-Channel, the SSL G-Master Buss Compressor, and the SSL G-Equalizer. This set of TDM format plug-ins sounds so close to the original consoles, even experts who work with SSL boards day in and day out can't tell the difference. SSL G-Master Buss Compressor Based on the renowned master buss center compressor of the SL 4000 G console, the Waves SSL G-Master Buss Compressor captures the unique sound of the original's IC input and twin VCA gain-reduction amplifier design. SSL E-Channel The SSL E-Channel delivers the incomparable sound of the Solid State Logic 4000-series console's all-discrete design and its Class A, VCA chip. It's a slice of the world's greatest hit-making machine, in your computer. The equalization section of the SSL E-Channel is based on the renowned Black Knob equalizer, developed in 1983 with legendary producer George Martin.
It features a High Pass Filter, Low Pass Filter, and a 4-band parametric equalizer. The dynamics section features a soft-knee compressor/limiter and an expander/gate modeled on the SSL LS611E. Like the original, it can be placed before or after the equalization section, and makeup gain is automatically applied to maintain a steady output level. SSL G-Equalizer This 4-band equalizer, modeled on the SSL G Series EQ292, offers greater gain change than the E-Series EQ, and a slightly different curve.
The SSL G-Equalizer includes a preboost dip and a precut rise, as well as a broader Q for more extreme equalization. That's why many leading engineers use the E Channel's equalization for detailed problem-solving and mixing, and the SSL G-Equalizer to shape and give character to the sound. Note: Waves products require iLok USB key authorization. Authorizing your bundle to your iLok is a one-time process that can be completed on any computer with an internet connection.
It doesn't have to be your audio computer. The iLok authorization process consists of 2 phases: Selecting your products and iLok in your Waves account.
Running the Authorizer to complete the process. FEATURES SSL G-Master Buss Compressor Controls. Threshold is continuously adjustable from -15dB to +15dB. Make Up Gain is continuously variable from -5dB to +15dB. Attack offers a choice of six attack rates: 0.1; 0.3; 1; 3; 10 and 30 ms. Release time can be set to 0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 1.2 seconds, or automatic.
Ratio is switchable between 2:1, 4:1, and 10:1. Rate-S sets the Autofade duration, from 1 to 60 seconds. Analog allows disabling of analog emulation. In serves as a bypass button SSL E-Channel Controls Equalization:. Low Pass Filter 18dB/octave slope, adjustable from 20kHz to 3kHz. High Pass Filter 18dB/octave slope, adjustable from15Hz to 350Hz. High (HF) Choose from shelf (16.5dB/octave boost or cut) or bell shape (18dB/octave boost or cut with a fixed Q of 2.5).
Range is from 1.5kHz to 16kHz. High Mid (HMF) Range is from 600Hz to 7kHz, with an adjustable Q from 0.1 to 3.5. Gain varies from ±15dB when Q is set to 0.1 to ±18dB when Q is set to 3.5. Low Mid (LMF) Range is from 200Hz to 2.5kHz, with an adjustable Q from 0.1 to 3.5.

Gain varies from ±15dB when Q is set to 0.5 to ±18dB when Q is set to 3.0. Compressor/Limiter:. Ratio/Slope Variable from 1 to infinity (limiting). Threshold Variable from +10dB to -20dB. Attack Normally auto-sensing (Slow), switchable to 1ms (Fast). Release Variable from 0.1 to 4 seconds Expander/Gate:.
Range Variable from 0 to 40dB. Threshold Variable from -30dB to +10dB. Attack Normally auto-sensing (Slow), switchable to 1ms (Fast).
Release Variable from 0.1 to 4 seconds. Gate Toggles from Expander function (default) to Gate function SSL G-Equalizer Controls. High Pass Filter 18dB/octave, 16Hz ” 350Hz. Filter on/off switch. Low Frequency EQ Shelving. Range 30Hz ” 450Hz. Gain range ±17dB.
Low Medium Frequency EQ Range 200Hz ” 2.5kHz. Q is continuously adjustable from 0.1 to 3.5. Gain varies from ±20dB when Q is set to 3.5 to ±15dB when Q is set to 0.1.
The 3 button divides the selected frequency by three. High Medium Frequency EQ Range 600Hz ” 7kHz. As in the LMF EQ section, Q is continuously adjustable from 0.1 to 3.5.
Gain varies from ±20dB when Q is set to 3.5 to ±15dB when Q is set to 0.1. The x3 button allows you to multiply the selected frequency by three. High Frequency EQ Range 1.5kHz ” 16kHz. Gain range ±17dB, shelving. EQ In bypasses the EQ section but leaves the filter in if engaged. Phase Reverse reverses the phase of the input signal.
Master Output fader controls overall output of the processor. Trim button indicates how much headroom remains before digital clipping.
This is a demo of the Novation Xiosynth. It was made using a series of videos at the Gearwire site, and the shots of presets and sounds that appear were edited by me. It is a brief demonstration of some (SOME, not all) of the patches available.
I have included some of the most interesting ones in this video. Unfortunately, the demo guy himself (in the usual Gearwire tradition) is doing a bad job at giving a good impression of what this amazing value-for-money MIDI controller and synth is capable of. (Note: go for the 49 key one, not its tiny little brother). In this video, you will mostly see it go 'blink, blieeeank, woouuuuieaaaaw', but once you sit down and work properly with it, you'll be amazed at the options available, which are impressive for such a cheap virtual analog synth which also has great templates for controlling tens of parameters of Cubase, Ableton, Atmosphere, Reason, Reaktor etc. It is also true that its layout is a bit complicated, and the controls too thrown together in a tiny space. If one could step up a little in price, I would STRONGLY suggest the Novation X Station instead, which has a far better layout and is also a truly excellent MIDI interface & 2 mic preamp soundcard with a very interesting virtual analog synth side (and a very nice keyboard feel).
A small secret: the X Station accepts the Xiosynth's nice artist created presets.;-) I didn't note that the Xiosynth has 10 voices instead of the X Station's 8, as well as the X Gator arpeggiator, but even these wouldn't make me want to change my original choice (which makes a little difference because both are monotimbral anyway). The keyboard feel, the layout and the connectivity of the X Station are far superior (not to mention that the Xiosynth doesn't have aftertouch, which the X Station does). Tip: the best thing is to put a pair of headphones on and minimise the YouTube window (so that you're not looking at the video).
It really helps concentrating on the sounds themselves. It is true that some of the synth preset patches are not terrific, but that's where your imagination comes in.;-) An answer to a recent question: The K Station has a lot in common with the X Station.
The Ion is very good but minimalistic in the controls that it has, which means you'll have to go deep in menus. The really nice keyboard feel and the excellent layout of the X Station are its main benefits over this,but it remains a bit complicated for the beginner. However, I was also a beginner when I got it, but I knew the basics behind sound synthesis. The manual also gives a nice introduction. It is this layout that helps tremendously to learn how synthesis works.
If you don't want to go into it, you could try simpler beginner synths that still sound really nice like the Korg Micro X.
