what are they like? its my 21st soon, my relos have asked what i wanted.. i dont want them all forking out too much for me, so i thought something in the range of 5 - 700 dollars... was just going to get a remote sl or something, but now i noticed the xio synth..

your thoughts?

[TankF]

i have one and its great! cool sound, easy to use and the touch pad is heaps of fun. Not a fan of the patches on it but thats just more insentive to make your own.

IMO... see if you can get a KS4/KS5 or K-Station. These synths have essentially the same synth engine as the Xio (without the gator thing) but they have a vocoder and more knobs. If you can't find one of these older synths, an X-Station is still better than a Xio.

[Adamwah]

x-station is more expensive then the xio, thats the main reason why im looking at an xio.. i could maybe chip in for the rest and get an x station, but i think the relos are going to go and buy it for me so i dont want to say to them, heres $500 from me, use this ontop of your money and get me something better lol

I have a 25 key version that i could be persuaded to part with...

[Adamwah]

oh really? lol whys that?

[Jay Parker]

need the cash for other priorities at the moment

[Adamwah]

fair enough.. but whats it like as a synth? u saying you'd part with it, is that cos it isnt that great or cos ur strapped for cash

[Jay Parker]

Its a great little synth. I would be real sad to see it go.

I have been using it a lot lately, there are lots of soundsets out there for it and its really easy to get around.

When i bought mine i had to return it twice for faulty touch pads. The one i have is as new.

I dont like selling any part of my gear, however increasing interest rates and dumbass things i did when i was younger are catching up with me. Shit i am even considering selling my Supernova II...  :'(

I might be able to give her a good home.

ok then, so you give it your tick of approval then jay?

i have to get down to dj warehouse and see if i can have a closer look at it and see if they;ll let me hear some of its sounds.. ive never used a hardware synth before, so it will be my first..

Sorry Jay, which synth have you got: xio or xstation? I've gotten confused...

And doesn't Jester have all dibs on the S'Nova?

[Jay Parker]

I have the Xio.

At this point if i decide to sell the S'Nova it will go to the highest bidder... Its not something that i want to sell but it would help a few things out.

P.s. I have a price for you on the filter. Apologies for the delay but there have been a few issues preventing getting it until now... I will PM laters.

EDIT: Check your PMs...

so i went down to djwarehouse and had a play around and spoke to one of the guys there about different things.. i played on the xio and i must say i quite like it.. i only had headphones on but some of the patches were right up my alley i think and with some tweaking i know i could get good use out of it!!

and for the price, alongside me using it as a controller aswell its really good i think!!

he con'd be into considering buying a remote zero to go alongside it for controlling, but i dont know if im going to do that.. i think the xio has enough knobs for me to control what i need to control

[Jay Parker]

Well the offer is still there mate.
