Introduction and Credits
T
hank you for purchasing the Xio. Before reading this User Guide, it is assumed that you have read the
G
etting Started Guide for the product and so have connected and powered up the keyboard and are aware
o
f the basics of operation. If not, please read the Getting Started Guide before continuing with this User Guide.
As the Xio is designed with mainly patch playing in mind and only limited patch tweaking, despite being able
to create and edit patches to a great extent, the User Guide does not explain all areas of the synthesizer in
great detail. For more information about synthesis and the various sections of a Novation synthesizer,
consult the X-Station User Guide, available for download at www.novationmusic.com.
All of the onboard patches have been created by or in conjunction with artists and sound designers across
the globe. Special thanks go to: Kelvin Russel, James Zabiela, Ferry Corsten, Rennie Pilgrem, Roots
Manuva, Shimon, Skeewiff, Olly Burke, Oli Cash, Lars Henning, Matt Derbyshire, Rob Jones, Mick Gilbert,
Ian Jannaway, Nick Dowell and Dave Hodder.
