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.)
Although it is advised to use Hybrid mode (using the Synth whilst in MIDI Controlling mode) if wanting to
send MIDI data from the Xio keys and controls whilst the sequencer is playing the keyboard’s Synth,
it can be done whilst in Synth Mode. Firstly, make sure that the sequencer track sending MIDI Data is
transmitting on channel 16. This is the default channel in the Synth Global Menu. Now, turn Local Control
off by pressing the GLOBAL button twice to access the Synth Global Menu and scrolling to the relevant
page, as outlined in the previous section.
With these settings, the keyboard’s Synth will respond to MIDI information from the sequencer but not
to its own keys and controls. To change the port routing that the MIDI data from the keyboard’s keys and
controls is sent to (e.g. if wanting to send it to external hardware and not the sequencer or vice versa),
scroll to the Synth Out Ports page within the Synth Global Menu (see the previous section for details).
