Playing the Synthesizer in MIDI Controlling Mode – Hybrid Mode
A great feature of the Xio is its ability to allow the Synth to be played whilst in MIDI Controlling mode,
meaning the full extent of the keyboard can be utilised. These Hybrid mode settings are accessed in the
Template Common Edit Menu, activated by pressing the EDIT button twice. The first page, Synth By Control,
allows the keyboard, joystick and touchpad to be assigned to control the onboard Synth. For example, if
wanting to use the keyboard and joystick to play the Synth, whilst using the Xio knobs, buttons and touchpad
to MIDI control software or connected hardware, set this to KYB+JOY. All the while in this mode, the
encoder is used to change the keyboard’s Synth Patch.
If wanting the Synth to be played by MIDI data from the Sequencer then scroll to the following Template
Common page, Synth By Midi, and set it to On. This means that, whilst using the MIDI Template to control
software or hardware, the keyboard’s Synth can be played by a MIDI track within the sequencer, as long as
that track is set to channel 16, or the corresponding channel set in the Synth Global Menu. (See the Synth
Global Menu section for details.)
