Hey guys

Just noticed a few of these going on ebay, some cheaper than others. Looks like it has a few features and its own onboard VA.

Anyone got any opinions good bad or ugly???

Ok looks like I'll have to review this one myself.

Picked up a xio25 off ebay for a good price,probly one of the cheapest synths I've ever scored... has a few mild scratches etc but that's no matter to me. I saw these terrible reviews on youtube, but I don't have any of the issues they speak of on there. I'm suspecting these have been put forward by rival companies, particularly this wanker with a real annoying voice who says he's on his 6th warranty unit.... Personally I think the universe just hates him.

Anyways I'm happy with the synth section. Seems to fill a big sonic gap in my rig, very clean and powerful.

Synthesizer
- One part, 10-voice polyphonic
- 3 Oscillators, 17 Waveforms
- 2 LFOs, 32 Waveforms
- Multimode resonant filter section with various filter options
- Extensive modulation capabilities
- Arpeggiator with latch
- X-GATOR with latch
- Direct streaming of synth into computer via USB

will post more about recording interface and controlling etc later

Very happy so far!!!
